Okay, I have just learned about link wheels, and now I am going to start doing them. I have a couple questions. First, what sites do you guys normally use for your Link Wheels? Off the bat I am going to use Squidoo, HubPages, EzineArticles, GoArticles, and Blogger, and probably Weeble, but I want more variety. There are tons of blogging sites out there, but a lot of them are nofollow, and I, like most marketers, would only like to use dofollow. Next, do you link every site in the wheel back to your main site, or just one or two of them? I guess that is all, but if anybody has any more advice, I would greatly appreciate it.
basically the way linkwheels work is setting up a network of web 2.0 pages and heavily interlinking each once of them with each other. then from each web 2.0 page, you link to your main money site as well. this is a risky way of promoting your site and generating backlinks. setting up as much web 2.0 pages as you want is fine and actually a great idea, but interlinking each one of them and then link to your site from each one makes it look like a link farm or network that will leventually be visible by google. it might take google some time to realize what you are doing but eventually you will get caugh and will risk of being penalized. i suggest you just setup the pages and lin kto your main site but not link the web 2.0 pages with each other
sorry i don't understand about link wheels .. can you explain about meaning and benefits links wheel?? thanks
setting up webpages in free blog providers such as wordpress blogger like web 2.0 sites.. it will have a link to your main site and these properties wil be interconnected. this is wat linkwheels.. the benefits are you will get a good boost in serp.. disadvantage is later you will get caught into google as it will look like a link farm.. since all properties are interconnected..
has anyone had success with this? I can see it working somewhat if you have no rankings at all, but it isn't enough to get you on the 1st page of the competitve terms.
linkwheels has nothing wrong with it just avoid being seen by google as the affiliate site of your moneymaking site...what does it means? well i've read somewhere that google has certain algorithm to detect whether a 2 sites are affiliate or not...so if they detected that 2 sites are affiliate, they remove the linkjuice.
Alright, since this link wheel thing looks like it could cause problems, I guess I'll hold back; I have enough other things to do anyway. I will still make one wheel,though, but I will do it like I initially learned, where you do not link all the sites in the wheel to your main site. I think that is where the main problem comes in.
I don't agree with the statement that link wheels are ineffective. You've got to understand though that simply creating a 15 spoke link wheel isn't going to do you much good overall. You'll need to spend some time backlinking those spokes to increase their value.
100% false. I use them all the time whenever I start up a new website, and I ALWAYS have had great results. Granted, I use around 15 or so spokes, and I mass submit the RSS feeds, and mass submit the spokes to directories, and bookmarking websites. The benefits? Gives your website a BIG boost in the SERPS.
I have a one suggestion in doing a link wheel technique for your SEO, you must post your content on those web 2.0 sites once per week because in that way, you can do your link building strategies using the link wheel in a natural way.
to evade detection each article should be unique and not spun or duplicates. if that is done the link wheels should be good to go. i've had some very good results with link wheels, the SERP increase is the main benefit.
I don't know about Knol but Wordpress.com is a do-follow according to the Firefox plugin I'm using (SearchStatus).
I can confirm that Wordpress is dofollow and pretty good. I maintain four blogs on there for building links.
I wonder how many people copy that... That's just a bit obvious, you want to make your system as unique as possible, link wheels are rapidly starting to bring worse and worse results.
WOW... looking at your post, and then the images below, I just now figured out what the new buzz word actually was. It's strange that many of the DMOZ editors and the Pr0n industry have already been using this technique for YEARS! Though not so much through the social networking scene, lol. Even in this though, it's important that one does not come across as a spammer. Yeah, yeah, tell me you have 1,000,000 followers on twitter, but how many are actually humans? So you've got 1000 friends on Livejournal, but how many actually care? Become a part of these communities, be a part of their families, and you'll find that not only do your friends visit the links you post, they REPOST THEM!
