Hi, I'm fairly new to the concept of link wheels, and I just wanted to know: 1. Are link wheels only effective for ranking for a particular search term? Are they also effective for PageRank or does this have little effect, in comparison to other PR factors? 2. How to you build and map a link wheel? Do you start with tier 1 and track everything by using a diagram? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Google likes linkwheels. It enables them to simply catch LOADS of people who think they are smarter than the 170+ IQ bods employed at the 'plex and believe they can manipulate the index for their own benefit. Probably second only to recippers, or perhaps cloakers.
I am just reading this one up on Google Q/A forums, lots of different opinions have made it difficult to make up my mind.
Linkwheels are a noob method of trying to trick the serps. It does nothing in the long run but waste your time and damage the brand in question. I said that 3 years ago and still stick to it today. Its is google's job to return the most relevant result for x query. Hence, if you want to rank well, make the site actually relevant. This is not accomplished by link wheels and blog commenting. That is not SEO by any professionals definition. My position assumes that you actually care about said site. hope that helps, Nigel
Hey buddy, link wheel now a days are dead ... not longer used by seo technique.. it is a time taken technique and no defective result found...
That kind of method is only good to downgrade you, try to do things in the right manner. - Good site design - Relevant content - Keep it uncluttered of too many ads
so links to links that point to your site is bad? I thought it was just a more natural form of linkbuilding, check out this reply I got from an seo consultant: "Look google dont consider link wheel as spam but it consider content farm as a spam... If you create link wheel with 100 % unique content than it is not considered as spam..but most of people use link wheel as content farm with spun article, and this is 100 % wrong thing in seo Generally what people are doing is they download article from ezine than spun it and blast it with senuke linkwheel creation ..this is 100 % wrong thing and you will definitely caught by google But what im doing is creating linkwheel 100 % unique content. Im currently doing providing my services to one well known seo company from Canada. Im currently providing them forum posting and linkwheel services. They are quite satisfied with results and im getting more orders"
Obrigado Nuno, deves ser Portugues nao? Of course our sites have a good desing, high quality relevant content that is 100% original, and uncluttered from ads. I just thought that link wheels where a more natural form of linkbuilding...
Yep, sou Português. Tem cuidado com tudo o que seja automático, se criares links com outros sites então certifica-te que têm uma qualidade equiparável ou ainda melhor que o teu site. Abraço.
Na boa Nuno obrigado! Mas o que achas sobre a "arquitectura" dos link wheels? Desde que seja natural e caotico, sem criar padroes, achas que tem um efeito positiovo? Ou e melhor simplesmente optar pela estrutura traditional, ou seja opter o numero maximo de links com alto PR e one way?
Para ser sincero, eu não tenho experiência com link wheels. Para mim, a melhor forma de ter bons resultados é à moda antiga: criar conteúdo com relevo e originalidade, acarinhar uma comunidade que goste daquilo que é apresentado e simplesmente deixar o tempo passar. Quantos mais "esquemas" uma pessoa tenta, mais se afasta do topo do ranking.
Link wheels are not 'natural', therefore Google sees them as an attempt to game the system, like link farms (which as you remember, were once 'accepted' and white hat). It's one of those dodgy areas like using a portal page. If it's not something that a person with no vested interest in your site would do, then don't do it. Simple.
Link wheel are very effective for ranking of search term in search engines because it create organic back links to our site and treated as one way back link by Google. Most important point is that it links through the keywords having same theme.
