Link wheels : an effective seo strategy

The highly targeted traffic from search engines are not a secret for you and me, but due the huge amount of competition that exists in the blogosphere, it is very difficult to penetrate the high search engine traffic. Today a search on Google for seo can result in a huge collection of strategies to make it to the top of the search engine, most of them include scams, themes, plugins and link building schemes.

Let me make it clear that if you want high exposure on search engines there is no automated technology. I always knew that web 2.0 sites are great source of targeted links, but all my attempts failed, but recently I heard about link wheels on many blogs and forums, I created a link wheel consisting of 5 web 2.0 sites pointing to Dumb Little Blogger, after a week it started to show its effects, my Google links were 432 before and after I created one link wheel it touched 497. Not increased a lot but a series of link wheels which i'm planning to create can result in serious traffic.

What are link wheels?
For those of you who are hearing it for the first time let me tell you that link wheels are a series of web 2.0 properties which link to your landing page (that is your main website or blog) and to other properties in your link wheel. It is called so because the series of properties linking to one another and each of them to the landing page forms a wheel. Linking directly to your landing page is also a good option, but direct links are very weak and take very little effect on your page rank. Google finds a wheel of links interconnected much more powerful and generates great effect on your main landing page.

How to create a link wheel?
Creating a link wheel is very easy, it takes up to 4 hours to create a powerful link wheel. Just follow the instructions below to create your own link wheel,

• First of all create an account in some major web 2.0 properties, I would recommend Hubpages, Squidoo, Blogger, Wordpress (hosted), Bukisa, Ezine etc.
• After that select an article and make sure that article is not present in your blog.
• Submit it to all the above web 2.0 properties with little or literally no modification in your article.
• Send out a link back to your blog in each of your properties.
• Then send another link to one another properties forming a wheel
• Create up to 5 link wheels and wait for at least a week to notice changes.

yaa nice article i think
Building an authority link wheel can help your site generate some powerful backlinks and that in turn pushes your site up to the top of the search engines. It's rather easy to do, albeit a bit time consuming.
Here's how to create a poweful Authority Link Wheel.

1.The Authority Link Wheel
2.Adding Content
3.Promoting The Wheel
4.The Power to Expand

 

But if we submit the same article on different sites it will be like spam? Please explain me on it?

 

What you mean by the line "Send out a link back to your blog in each of your properties", I understand the link back but what you mean by properties?

 

Well yes it is true that it can be considered spam so i think its better if you create one link wheel a week.

 

You see one property links to another but all your properties should link to your blog as that is your money page.

 

The most important thing to know about a link wheel is that you have to promote each spoke of the wheel. If you just create a bunch or properties, and link them to your main site (the hub).

If you don't promote each hub, then by themselves, they have no backlinks, and pass no linkjuice to you, and are of no benefit.

Thank you I have now understand the technique of link wheel, but it is really complicated and time consuming.

 

I dont see the difference from getting links from authority sites

 

I have heard that link wheel is not a good and effective strategy to follow.

 

Lemonrian the guy who first identified / spread the concept of SEO advantage through linkwheel himself had sent out a mail on link wheels loosing the advantage these days.

When Google spider visits any one of the spokes in a conventional link wheel, it immediately moves to the next Web 2.0, then to the next, to the next and finally back to the first property. It's so easy for Google to identify this pattern.

Still we can use this method, not exactly in a wheel format though. The idea is to randomize the way you link the properties together without losing on the link juice.

I normally use a funnel concept with different sets of Web 2.0 sites in different tiers. Only tier 1 properties will link to the money site. Second tier website will have random links to the Tier 1 properties, tier 3 properties will have random links only to tier 2 properties.

Advantage : Google spider will not find every web 2.0 property in your network at the same time.

How I do it : I use SENuke for this. I do the entire submissions over a period of one week time and I get good results out of it. I make sure that articles are at least 35% unique, otherwise it may not get indexed.

Yesterday I reached midway of such a project for one of my clients and at this moment, I own 7 out of 10 spots in Google's first page for the target keyword. Of course, competition is low for this keyword.

Another point to note : Squidoo and hub pages are really strict about spamming. If you try to post an article with a link in a hub, they will almost immediately lock your property. Links from hubs below rank 75 are no-follow.
Zimbio uses 302 redirect, hence no SEO value.

Keep all this in mind when you go for a link wheel.

Hope this helps someone

 

The link wheel has confused me since its inception... This has helped me understand it a bit more, but I am still a little bit lost... Hell, I didn't know newer websites were considered Web 2.0

 

just google for "lemonrian" and check out his free report on link wheels. There you can find out everything about linkwheels.

 

Yes it requires hard work.....nothing is easy in life....

If you want to succeed you must work harder than you have ever worked in your life.

Write 1 article a day and post on a different site each day.

 

Read your blog post and as soon as I read the sites don't have PageRank I knew I was wasting my time........



You might want to go back and use a PR checker tool.. Most of the sites that are 2.0 web properties used in link wheels have PR.

My hubpage has a PR 5 ....nofollowed, but the point is the sites still have PR.....

 

yes they are good as long as you do not over do it and try to fool the search engines

 

Main purpose of link wheel : To target long tail keyword and rank for them. You will not see results for main keywords. As far as my experience goes, they are more suited for long tail keywords, and one link wheel can get you close to 1st page depending on the type of keyword you are promoting.

But, Don't go for short keywords like link building, article writing, abs, credit card etc.

Look for something with 1000 searches and competition less than 30,000.

 

The site might. The page usually doesn't. Just because the site has PR doesn't mean the page that your link is on passes linkjuice.

Pagerank is assigned to the Page, not the site. Hence the name....Page... rank.

That' not to say that it's not possible to have PR on one of your 'spokes'. But as I explained in my article, most people just go to blogspot, wordpress, squidoo or weebly, and create a new blogpage, link it to their 'hub' and expect to get some benefit from their new 'Link Wheel'. But, the newly created 'spokes' have PR0, nad pass no SEO benefit at all.

Also, the 'hubpage' is the center of the link wheel, your target site. Not a site that links to your target site, lol.

 

As I said my profile PAGE has PR 5. My myspace profile, facebook, Hi5, Squidoo pages also have PageRank assigned. I've been at this for years and know how to build quality one way links.

I know fully well what PageRank means and how it is delegated to a website. That is the lamest retort I've read yet.....

I don't have 1000s of top 3 results on Google by not understanding PR......



Don't let your emotions rule your response .....

 

That wasn't a retort, it was a correction.

False. Sites don't have PR. PAGES have PR.

False. You're talking about your 'spoke' pages, not your Hub. And again, pages have PR, not sites.
