Hello members,

I want to create a link wheel using web 2.0 sites,and I just want to know some more about link wheels.

(a) How many web 2.0 sites should be used to create a single link wheel atleast?
(b) which is better a open or close link wheel?
(c) how to avoid SPAM while using a link wheel, is there any penguin update threat or is it consider as black hat technique?
(d)How to construct the URL of each property? i.e Keyword/Brand.wordpress{dot}com ?
(e) What is the best anchor text scheme to use while joining properties via links?
Can I use single keyword as an anchor text on each property?


Your Participation will be highly appreciated.

    The important thing in link wheel is should not close the loop. Don't link your sites like this

    a->b->c->d->a

    Not only "currently", Suraj. It hasn't been any use for a long time, and is far more likely to get you penalized than to help you.

    Good backlinks (as determined by Google) relate to site-quality, and site-relevance (not just page-relevance) to the page linked to.

    It will help you to get your SEO information from Google, rather than from people selling backlinking services. Google gives plenty of open, honest, direct SEO advice which people can easily learn to put to very good and successful use (the people selling backlinking services don't like their potential market to know that, though).

    Most of the people repeating myths about SEO in online forums would be better off spending their time reading Google's WebMaster Central Blog, watching Matt Cutts' videos and reading his interviews. People promoting "SEO services" love to make out that there's some "big mystery" about all this stuff, and they try to justify that view on the basis that Google doesn't disclose its ranking algorithms. Not a very logical perspective at all, of course, when Google is so open about the underlying principles on which their algorithms are based, but they hope their potential customers won't work that out. :p

      OMG!!! Get you're info from Google, cus "Google gives plenty of open, honest, direct SEO advice".... Sure and Santa Claus really lives on the North Pole and flies in a sledge true the sky on Xmas morning bringing you presents...

      Seriously, how can you advice something like that? Google will never tell you how to do SEO, and the info they provide true their own version of Baghdad Bob is most of the time wrong at best.

      @ OP you need to test what works for you or not, that is the only way to really understand what is going on, if you ask on forums like this for the best advice you get opinions at best... i'll bet that 90% of the people here never did a SEO test in their life... they all parrot each other, that is how myths are born.

      Linkwheels will not work anymore if you do it the old fashion way, but making use tiered web 2.0 properties still does, even after Penguin two, although i have to put in a little disclaimer, i am not sure if P2 is rolled out yet. Baghdad Bob aka Matt Cutt's sad it wasn't so it probably is but still, all my sites that have tiered web 2.0 properties have all gained rankings.

      Create good looking Web 2.0, with good content (not for SEO cus content that doesn't matter at all when it comes to SEO, but so your properties are not getting deleted cus they look spammy) let them age and you will see that you will have benefit from them in PR as in traffic.

    My opinion is same here, few years ago, it was more beneficial for SEO but now a day it's not.
    Now Link Wheel are not natural links and is considered as spam by Google.

      How does link wheel become spam? Thematic and contextual links can be gained only using link wheel.

        By being something "obviously artificially constructed", of course.

        There are Warriors who used to work for Microsoft and for Google who were patiently explaining here, over 4 years ago when I joined the forum, how simple and obvious it was - even back then - for any search-engine algorithm to discount and ignore "link-wheel" backlinks. Unless you think they've all recently become very stupid, that will still be so today (but worse, because nowadays at least one of them actively penalizes spammy backlinks and has said so openly).

        I hope it's something all my direct competitors try to use, anyway.

        This is incorrect: they can also - and far more reliably and successfully - be gained in countless other ways (of which article marketing is just one example).

    Forget about link-wheel. But do NOT forget that you can still make a quality links from Web 2.0.

    For an example, I am passionate about playing golf and I do have my own blog on a Web 2.0 site - Say Wordpress.com or Weebly.com - I used to post my own day to day experiences, some reviews on other international golf players and so on. I have good traffic from social media and from some other sites. Now, I got a client who has a website that is selling products related to Golf. So, I will link his site on few of my posts and give him a backlink. - It is of course natural. Of course 100% sure that I am using web 2.0, so how come this kind of link may be considered as out-of-market?

    But, I know there are 90% of SEO people who are spamming out such wonderful Web 2.0 sites and get penalty. As far as building up a niche site on web 2.0 and getting good reputation for it may take time. Anyhow, it is easier to get ranked those Web 2.0 sites compare to others. That may lead more traffic to web 2.0 sites and may convey as referral traffic to money site as well.

    So, I really don't think Web 2.0 is out of market if those are used in a way that should be used without spamming.

    I feel why to post our valuable content in another site, let us post it our own blog gain back links, run adsense and earn too.

      It is good to have content posted in our websites rather than others websites but we need to get backlinks, isn't ?

      but worse, because nowadays at least one of them actively penalizes spammy backlinks and has said so openly
      If the content of the web2.0 sites is not low quality, I think still it works ....
