    Ohh! if you Link all your stuffs in to main website there would be a chance to get penalized by google. But every one telling it's a black hat method, In my personal method i will argue there are no any black hat methods there, usually there are two kind of wheel

    1) Link Wheel
    2) Pyramid

    All Links are circling called as "Link Wheel", If comes like to Pyramid called as "pyramid", Actually you should use Web 2.0 properties. Squidoo, hubpages are the main web 2.0 Which are build one blog aka Lense and Hubs. First of all create a pyramid Link and create a link wheel strategy bottom of the Pyramid. After all Link each other. next Step is Ping all. :D Fastest Indexed Strategy

    Link wheel is a white hat SEO technique because it is use simple bookmarking and content writing techniques. It is a very long term processor.

    I wouldn't call it 'white hat' because it is artificially creating links to a website. However, its definitely not blackhat. In truth, its in the middle.

    IMO, link building is simply advertising. Offline businesses ask for referrals in many different ways. They may give a kickback/freebie to the person who sends them a new customer. Online marketers can (and should) create backlinks!

    Link wheels are out of date. They leave too big of a footprint. As MohamedShajid mentioned, Link Pyramids are a better way to go. I use http://fiverr.com/dino_stark on fiverr for my pyramids. And, without fail, I get to position 1-3 on page one of Google ... every time. Of course, I pick the right keywords:)

    Regarding linking, don't put all of your eggs (links) in one basket. A link pyramid is great, but be sure to diversify. Forum post, blogs, profile links, .edu and .gov, etc.

    Hope this helps!

    Some people claim that the use of link wheels delves into the "black hat" realm of search engine optimization and you risk getting your site sandboxed by the major search engines. Other folks claim that all the content and interlinked properties are legitimate and therefore it's completely in alignment with “white hat” best practices. So which group is correct?


    We firmly believe that any advance SEO method such as link wheels can be overly used which can definitely cause concern and suspicion in the eyes of the SE bots. We’ve created link wheels for brand new domains with non-existent backlink profiles, and the sites are not penalized in the form of being delisted or land in the controversial “sandbox”.
    Additionally, we've used custom link wheels on aged websites with a healthy backlink profile and didn't see immediate changes in SERP rankings (so we fine tune until we see the results we expect).

    I think link wheel is not black hat SEO technique but if used it with duplicate content to improve search engine ranking then it may be considered as black hat technique because using a duplicate content is against search engine guide lines.

    Link wheels with fresh and unique content will help you to increase visitors as well as website back links and ranking on SERP.

    I think Link Wheel is not bad if and only if it is implemented carefully. If you post duplicate or spun articles on the blogs, then that's illegal. Make sure that it is written uniquely and after a week from the submission, that's the time you link them all.. let's say your Top 15 Social Blogs :)

    Enjoy!

    It's risky this time - after the Penguin update, link schemes might bring negative effect once Google see the site doing some manipulative move

    Grey hat method... It's not fully white hat or blackhat!! It depends on how you build them.. And upon the the Penguin Google update i feel link wheel will not be as effective as it used to be!!

    Link wheel is a white hat SEO technique. Still it depends on the way you do it.
