What are the best sites to be included in a linkwheel?

[Amenda Jessera]

Dear Warriors,

I just learned that link wheels too help to get some good SERP.

What are the best sites to be included in a linkwheel? I heard that if we can include about 5-6 sites that is more than enough.

Please share your experience in link wheel as well as I am doing some kind of experiencement on this right now, Hope to share the results of it with you all soon

Cheers,

[Mary Green]

I have never paid too much attention to back linking as I always thought that as the content and site grew so would back links. What is a link wheel?

[Intrepreneur]

Great question.

Im hoping someone replies here with a link to the most massive collection of web2.0 properties on the web that we can harbour our content on.

This way we can be diverse and is exactly what is needed for linkwheeling :=-)

Hi Amenda,

For link wheels, also called farms you can use any dofollow site such as Squidoo lenses, Hubs, Blogger blogs, WordPress blogs and dozens more. I personally like creating child pages and grandchild pages and I never link the wheel in a direct-one way notion as to not attract the eyes of the big G.

Keep it under the radar is most important and by making your wheel sites look decent like real blogs you avoid from being labelled a spammer.

You can build as many wheels as you like. In the end, your niche will determine when enough is enough because unless you rank you have to keep building links.

I hope this helps.
Monika

A link wheel is nothing more than an entry-level blog farm. Once you start setting one up you've taken your first step down the path to the dark side.

Anyway...if you want a large list of site you can use for this, you can visit SEOZombie.com and search for "blog farm"

You'll find Jason's free ebook on this which is a KILLER read.

At the end of that book is a list of sites you can use to setup your link-wheel.

my linkwheel sites:

wordpress.com
blogger.com
vox.com
hubpages.com
squidoo.com
blogsome.com
quizilla.com
weebly.com
xanga.com(no follow)
gather.com

why is it a step to the dark side?

[4morereferrals]

Ohhh dear god ... a linkwheel ... the dark side? LOL

I know ... if I just Blog Harder and post "quality" content that everyone wants to read - those benevolent, altruistic "nicies" over at google will reward me ... post mortem.

Sent you a PM which should give you what you need...

[Mr_Julian_S]

Basically, a Linkwheel is a set of six or more web 2.0 properties interlinked in a “wheel” module, the chains of wheel promotes a page on the web which is the focus of that particular “wheel” or what we call the ‘focus hub or ‘main hub.’ The main hub could be anything including your landing page, a squeeze page or even another type of web 2.0 property.

In order for you to do the ‘linkwheel method,’ you must prepare at least 5-10 articles (it can be unique or spun article) for each hubs or web 2.0 properties. And then set it up by creating accounts for each web 2.0, copy-paste and publish. Target each hubs by using the anchor text for your keyword(s).

My LinkWheel includes:
1. Blogger.com
2. Wordpress.com
3. Squidoo.com
4. Quizilla.com
5. Hubpages.com
6. Blog.com
7. LiveJournal.com
8. Weebly.com
9. Wetpaint.com
10. Blogsome.com
11. Jimdo.com
12. Tumblr.com
13. Blinkweb.com

Would you mind terribly pointing me in the same direction? I am currently trying to set one up and it would be a real help.
Thanks,

Yeah this linkwheel concept is one that is supposed to work .....in the eyes of google...and ultimately get you more traffic to your money page. The basic concept is that if a bunch of related blogs or squidoo or hubpages...whatever..are all linking to one-another and then those each link to you money page....hence the "wheel" and linking them together. Well this is supposed to tell google that ...hey all these high pr sites are all linking to my money page and therefore give it more authority. Right?

Um, yea this can be a good strategy to get traffic. However, you have to do it carefully and not be a spammer. Google is very much aware of this type of strategy and you have to do it in a way that looks natural.

I've used linkwheel services and had them done to 3 blogs that I created. My results from the linkwheel concept were less than stellar.

I agree with you. Any good SEO campaign takes hard work, time and enough creativity to write interesting, keyword friendly, informative content.

Good suggestions above - basically, if you're creating sites for a link wheel, you want to pick the ones with the highest PR. Although your site will not have the same PR, its authority will be relatively higher than the others.
