Link wheel strategy is where you’ll be creating web 2.0 websites like wordpress, blogspot, squidoo, and other web 2.0 websites that will link to your money site.
I would request all to visit my thread -> Link wheel - loads of doubts Hope you shall get some better idea about Link Wheel
Can anyone, who's doing this for a long time, tell me if it's really worth the time invested in building a linkwheel? I mean it does take a long time to build properly and I'm wondering if the end results are worth it.
It is an easy process to get permanent link. write different articles about your business and post it on different web 2.0 sites in this article give one link to your business site and one to another web 2.0 site.
So the "red arrow" is this right? you write an article and post it on blogger, do the same with worpress and make a link from wordpress-->blogger, do the same with vox and make a link from vox--->blogsome, do the same with blogsome and make a link from blogsome--->quizilla, do the same with quizilla and make a link from quizilla--->webs, do the same with websand make a link from webs--->livejournal, and finally do the same and link from livejournal back to blogger. I don't understand the "green arrow" Does it simply mean to make 2 links for each social network site? like make a link from blogger--->wordpress but also include a link from blogger--->your money site?
It's main strategy is to connect to all with your website to those site where you have posted your link.
According in my research a "link wheel" basically is a process in which you build a dozen or so new blogs/web pages using web 2.0 properties such as squidoo, blogger, hubpages and etc, all on the same topic as your main blog or website. Then, on each of these mini sites, you write one (or more) unique quality article that includes a link to your main website or blog and another link to one of the other new blogs you just built.
Link wheel will be benefitial only if it is too complex and you work hard to build it. Simple link wheels can be easily detected by search engine's algo and you might get nagative reputation. It is recommended to try other powerful link building strategies.
It is beneficial to have more properties in the link wheel and make it an broken spoke link wheel not a closed spoke one . Try to use a mix of profile backlinks , web 2 , article links , guest posts and social bookmarks in the wheel , that makes it look more natural and all of them enhance each others benefit exponentially .
There are some major flaws in the structure . First of all - each outbound link also has a reciprocal link and you have repeated it for all the links within the link wheel. It is a closed link wheel which is easy to trace , so google will devalue the link wheel and can even attract a penalty . It is a link wheel of reciprocal links and there are 2 pairs of reciprocal links to each second tier profile that means even google can see a clear diagram of the strategy just like we are seeing - It is that easy to detect !
