Read the full linkwheel article here: How To Make Linkwheels Please tell us your comments on building and using linkwheels to optimize for search engines and to build links.
LinkWheels used to work very well for me until a month back but I don't think they are effective anymore - definitely nowhere close to as effect as they once were!
Actually, I just started building a linkwheel yesterday, and I'm not even half done, but I have already gotten results. (top ten spots on Google)
True, if you make it as organized as the one on the article. Not true, if you have a more unpredictable linkwheel. I have amazing results with linkwheels, and I have just started using them.
i suggest you build the web 2.0 pages by linking them to your main site and not link all the 2.0 pages together. by doing so, you are just creating a link farm/network which google will catch up on eventually. i wouldn't risk it.
Every technique has a shelf value here. I think Link wheel has lost its prominence and it is being picked up by GOogle. Do not try the original variation but try something else. Some different variation. This is a good technique but it got over exposed.
Linkwheels still work. It's one of the fastest ways to get on top on google. Been using them a lot and I know they work.
I feel the problem is with the Web 2.0 sites themselves, not the linking pattern. I recently tried creating just the spokes without linking them to form a wheel. None of the properties were linked to any of the other properties. Even in this case several properties just didn't get indexed, even after a month. Just to let you know, I use unique content (not spun) and have videos and images as well. Further I submit these URL's to social bookmarking sites and ping the Web 2.0 properties as well as social bookmarking links. Still did not help. If you do a Google search, you will find that several people are reporting similar issues with LinkWheels.
I got my web 2.0 properties indexed in just a day. Maybe you are not promoting correctly? If you want, I can show you proof, but only by PM, because I don't want to be banned for spamming. Actually I have a secret method of linkwheeling and that is why it works so well for me. Sorry, but I won't tell you.
If google could or cared about link farms this guy wouldnt rank top Google search for the last 2 years imo relationshipheadquarters dot com and relationshipgold dot com the backlinks are all linkfarms imo from non related niche websites that have nothing to do with his keywords so no.. google doesnt care imo
I am doing linkwheels for clients. I live in the Philippines and have a team of 10 working for me. We have done some pretty amazing stuff. Just last week we got one client the #1 position with a competition of 56,000,000. I don't the trick mentioned above here is something I do. I don't link any of my web 2.0 together until they have been indexed. I always use my VPN. Did I miss something? Come on..tell us your secret...give us a hint...come on...LOL
Well, I'll give you a hint. Try not to focus on creating many articles, but making them powerful. In addition, you should use blogs and forums to do this easily.
