I'm sure that anyone building linkwheels has noticed a decrease in the results they have previously given, hence why this more advance type of link wheel has been released. Obviously these require more work, but they have much better results and it makes it a lot harder for Google to find out that they are non-organic back links. Which is always a good thing SEO-wise, my advice is, if you copy the link wheel above, it's pointless, use differnt websites to the ones in the image above, use WPMU blogs if you want to, just don't do the same thing over and over again. Good luck and happy link building.
uhhh...I have a full time job and a part-time biz doing SEO for four clients. I don't have time to do something like this.
@Jin, not really, this is pretty basic compared to some other similar things I personally do. @Bigcat1967, I'd say it takes between 1-2 hours, can take even less with software such as SENUKE.
You say stop building link wheels, but if you look closely enough at the diagram, you'll see a wheel in there, which if detected by Google, will wipe out the power of most of those properties. This is just a glorified link wheel that will take you more time to set up.
How does that above image seriously only take 1-2 hours...what kind of mass spam operation is this haha
@iamchrisgreen, no problem. @simpseo, that's a sub link wheel, totally differnt thing all together. It simply improves the ranking for 1 of your spokes. @GameFriends.com, well you obviously work very slowly, it takes about 20 minuites to write a 500 word article, which can easily be spinable, so you've got content for each in 20 minuites, it'll take you another 20 minuites to register/verify, then you've got 80 minuites to post.
Google will figure out that all the sites are interlinked (it only has to follow each link after all) and potentially treat this as manipulation. So if you interlink a few properties together I don't see this as a good idea - you need to break up a simple wheel to avoid detection. It's good to manipulate the search engines if you can get away with it but I would just be a bit concerned if any form of link building I do leaves footprints which are easily detectable.
We all knew this when we started to build link wheels, but the results were good back then, now Google has caught on, building links like this is better then building link wheels. Just my advice.
Well a sub-wheel is a link wheel to a spoke (a page) in your main link wheel and I don't mention clearblogs? :S
Hi Neon, I can see the value. Thanks for sharing. What software do you use for the diagram? Cheers GEO
i never inter link web 2.0 to much so it will see more natural to the serp. the classic wheel is very detectable by google.
You don't? Whats the red bubble that points to "your website"? Btw you can create awesome diagrams with bubbl.us.
All good, except for friggin squidoo, I've had enough of them, they keep flagging my lens and calling me spammers. And all this talk about google detected linkwheels is BS, all that happened is either the web 2.0 are flagged and therefore deleted or theres not enough juice power for each of the page to pass on, maybe not sufficient web 2.0, lack of pinging, not indexed properly, content not spinned enough, pick a reason, but definetly not google detection.
In order for link wheels to be effective, you have to promote (build backlinks) each spoke. If a spoke has no backlinks, then it provides no value.
