Creating a link wheel is a very effective SEO strategy that can be used by anyone to dramatically improve the rankings of your sites. Simply explained; a link wheel leverages the power of highly ranked Web 2.0 sites to build targeted backlinks back to your sites.
This strategy is very effective because certain Web 2.0 properties like Hubpages, Squidoo, WordPress, and others allow you to publish your own content on these sites AND allow you to add your own backlinks to this content as well.
On top of that, Google loves these sites and often times your posted content can rank very well on their own. Getting links to your own site from 5-10 of these types of sites is very powerful, and forms the basis of a good SEO link wheel strategy.
Here is a diagram to illustrate what we’re trying to do:
How Content Is Involved
To get the most power from this link wheel technique, you want to post articles on these web 2.0 sites that relate to your main site. So if you are promoting TheBizcoachBlog.com or the Success Steps To Building Wealth Online which are two of my favorite (shameless plug I know Lol), then you would want to post those names and include keyword research related articles.To make it easier, you can create one post and then purchase an automated “spinner” which I deem perfectly ethical since you wrote the article/post and you are simply creating instant versions of it (just to clarify, doing so with someone else’s articles or post is however un-ethical in my book.)
Easily Optimizing Your Link Wheels
Most Web 2.0 properties also include their own RSS feeds. Make sure to figure out what they are and then submit these feeds to RSS aggregators like Feedage, Feedagg, and Zimbio. This will help get your content on the Web 2.0 properties indexed faster, and improve their linking power as well. Another thing to try is to incorporate article directories to your link wheel as well. EzineArticles, GoArticles and ArticlesBase are some of my favorite article directories to use. Finally, take advantage of social bookmarking sites to bookmark your Web 2.0 properties. You can use a site like Social Marker or a bookmarking tool like Bookmarking Demon which automates the social bookmarking process for you.Automating Your Link Wheel Building
When starting out, I encourage you to create your link wheels by hand initially so that you can personally experience the value. However this is not very practical if you have many sites you want to improve your rankings for, you should invest in a more automated solution.I have partnered with a backlinking expert as a result of personal networking that gives me amazing pricing and results (don’t underestimate the power of networking!). However, as a great alternative I also have 2favorite programs that create link wheels and automate the process which are SENuke and Magic Submitter.
Both these programs automate the process of creating accounts, verifying emails, and submitting your content. They also have their own database of Web 2.0 sites so you don’t have to look around and find these sites yourself. Both programs are very powerful, and well worth the investment especially if you’re using the “franchising model”
I hope you can see that creating link wheels is a very powerful technique for boosting your sites rankings. SEO companies charge a decent price for creating these however I wanted to explain how simple they were, demystify them if you will, so that you could easily do them yourself. Try it out for yourself and drop a comment to let me know if you have any questions.
