I.e., blogger -> website #1 squiddo lens -> website #1 article marketing -> website #1 etc, etc and then website #1 --> links to "main" promotional website (major website) A link wheel (more elaborate) consists of making all these mini websites with web 2.0 properties point to them, then point to a "main" website to bump the rankings in google.

  Hello fellow Singaporean!
  
  1) I am planning on releasing a 'Linkwheel 101' product which consists of 5 videos teaching and showing you what linkwheels are all about. If you are interested, I can actually give you a review copy (drop me a PM) for you to critique AND maybe learn a little more.
  
  2) Yes, Linkwheels are certainly less effective now. However, when used in the right ways (which I am not gonna reveal) they CAN still be potent.
  
  Besides, as I used in one of my marketing pitches for Linkwheel 101 - building linkwheels is definitely a good SEO Strategy rather than constant spamming of backlinks with Web Profile Pages only(that is also a required though)
  
  3) In your sketch, you drew out a complete wheel. Now yes, the Linkwheel model used to be like that..but now there is a new model. Nothing radical actually - you simply don't connect the wheel.
  
  So you can remove one of the links and link it to some other site OR link both back to the focus page.
  
  Thanks

Ok just throwing this out here because link wheel is a bit new to me but... Wouldent you be better off doing this...
taking each page and linking it to all the other pages within your group?
Example form the picture above take buzzle and link it to Focus, twitter, squidoo, hubpages, eza, goarticles, facebook and weebly?

New to this so just wondering whats the benefit of only linking to the next in the wheel? Why not in sense matrix it?

Thanks

First off, linkwheels are not "new". Second, Google is now aware of them and can spot them.
Lets be honest here, a group of generated content sites, all linking to each other and then back to the first one as well, will be about as tough to spot as a piece of hay in a stack of needles....

Lemonarian who originally created the linkwheel has recently posted on various sites that he is no longer too sure of the effectiveness of the linkwheel.

While he says results are still positive it is no where near as effective as it used to be.

He didn't create the linkwheel. He did come up with the new name for what was originally called a traffic node.

Though his theroy was thought out somewhat, he left out the basic principles of creating the content for the demographic target.

If you want your "link wheels" to function like they were meant too, you have to come to the conclusion that one site does not fit all.

In otherwords...I wouldn't be using sites like linkedin to announce my product line of kites. I would create nodes(aka. link wheels) based from sites that had a passion for kites in order to draw in the attention of that market base.

Thanks

Yeah, when you go to his Link, he is redirecting you to someone else's affiliate site. Nothing to do with Link wheel. That pretty much says it all.

All sites link to everyone and then they link to your website...stay away from this as this is an old strategy that can get your site penalized...google can track the ip addresses nowadays and link relationships...another form of link manipulation...If the have not caught you yet, they will soon...

I've never received a cent from this product, just have no problem (and never have had) downloading the link report. Anyone else care to try? Again, I suggest you double check the link before you go around telling people it doesn't work...

Sigh......whatever, I don;t have time to waste arguing with you. His signup confirmation email NO LONGER links to linkwheel. So, stop pushing this FAILED product /concept and move on. Find something else to make your $2 a week off of.

  Link wheels build backlinks to your website's main page, which give your website a higher search engine ranking.

basically, it is a private network which links back to your site direct or indirectly. it helps your site to get more link values. and when these sites linked together in certain shapes, i.e. open wheel, broken wheel, random wheel, whatever it is called, it is really not that important.

Hi guys,

Understand that almost everyone understand the power of linkwheels. Just curious though...anyone know what's the reason behind that make it so successful?

Is it because of interlinking them together Meaning once they are indexed by Google, they will indexed in a infinity way? Since they are going round in circle. Which of cause Google might spot it sooner or later.

However, if chosen... Web 2.0 properties [blog platform] with 1 way link will be much safer and powerful than Linkwheel provided they are being indexed constantly. This also create better link weight compare to getting package backlinks like angela's packets, paul's packets, etc

Am i right to say that? I hope anyone who's really good and understand Linkwheel will able to help us now.

This is what i understand as using linkwheels the main purpose. [Getting indexed infinity] Any suggestion on this as well?

Thanks!

Thanks

I'm sure by now most of you have either seen, heard or put in to action a "link wheel" of sorts into your SEO game plan. Now some of you might be starting to worry about me and wonder why I'm bringing up this topic. After all, it is usually kept in black/greyhat arena's but I don't think it needs to be.

Absolutely right.

Its the simplest way to let Google know abut how you are trying to manipulate SERPs...actually the linking strategy has been there for quite a long time...but Lemorian or whomever had marketed it as a product, ruined its effectiveness...as more and more people doing the same thing, caught Google's attention...forget it now and stop spending bucks on sites (all of them with 'linkwheel' in domain name), who are still selling it as a secret weapon:rolleyes:

you are aware that all those is simply ASSUMPTIONS. I am pretty sure neither you nor i or most of the people here know really whether it still works or not.

I just dont like reading such statements like "Google caught on"..like Matt Cutts personally told some people that they know how to detect linkwheels and how they wont work anymore?

The problem i have with linkwheels is the fact that they are basically "mini networks" but all components/spokes of it are NEW and usually dont have PR. If i make a bunch of squidoos, weeblys etc...how can those sites "strenghten" a money site?

The concept is interesting, but in its current form PROBABLY doesnt work....but i have some ideas like linkwheeling using EXISTING authority sites. Not some brandnew web2.0 properties with no value.

what made you think that people are still waiting for a day to try this:confused:

I have tried every type of linkwheel for different sites...with only authority sites, with numerous web2.0, closed loop, not closed and so on...furthermore I tried linking only the articles from popular article directories like ezine, articlepool, goarticles etc...this task took a whole month to complete!..I had gathered quality links for each of those (profile links, bookmarks, comment links!)...Yahoo explorer showed 20 to 80 backlinks for each...but still no movement in SERPs for main site...rather it faced so called '50's penalty' by Google...my hard gained rankings dropped to 5th page and thereof...even with many backlinks, all the spokes showed PR- NA (even after toolbar update)...which clearly indicates that Google literally "caught it", doesn't it?...its just because of the interlinking...cause when I changed the linking structure penalty was reversed...in few cases I had to delete the properties...if this is not the practical example, one wonders what is!

This nonsense is still going then.

If anyone could explain how a load of spun content all linked together and sitting in the supplementals is a killer strategy for SERP domination, feel free to chip in....

The hardest part about starting a new site is getting it ranked in Google and the best way to rank a site quickly.It was one of the most creative uses of web 2.0 properties.

Now the trick here, and why link wheels are so effective is the new blogs and microsites we create are on sites like Hubpages.com, Wordpress.com, Blogger.com

A link wheel is the process of creating 12 or so (or sometimes up to 116) new blogs/microsites on a particular topic. On each of those sites, you write 200 words of unique content, and include 1 link to your targeted site, and 1 link to one of your other blogs/microsites.
