    I'm curious as well. Could you explain exactly what those are?

    I'm guessing a link wheel is a bunch of sites parallell-ly linked, while a link pyramid means that you have lots of sites with links leading back to other sites and then to the main site.

      Ok picture a circle of sites (backlinks) and they all link to eachother which creates a circle. Then in the middle of that circle is the money site. Thats a link wheel (looks like a circle).

      Link pyramid is when you build several tiers to your money site. For example your money site then 3 high quality backlinks to your money site then 20 backlinks to your tier 1 backlinks then 50 backlinks to your tier 2 backlinks etc etc... Hope this answered your question

        They both add up to pretty much the same if you ask me. Whether it's a circle, a pyramid, or a double sided inverted octagon surrounding your site.

        If the links are crap before you make your fancy shape, they'll still be crap after your done. All the shapes in the world can't make,

          I agree with you. They have to be high quality. I think I will just run 3 similar campaigns attacking the same keyword where in the first I will use link wheel, second a pyramid, and third both. Best way to find out is good old fashion trial and error

            The only problem with that is, our respective ideas on "quality". To me quality links don't require and sort of campaign of artificial links to back them up.

    Link wheel leaves footprints behind. So try to avoid them.
    Best approach is to get quality tier 1 links for your money site and build tier 2 and tier 3 links without leaving any foot prints.
