Benefits of creating the link wheel


Link Wheel is the one of the best techniques of  Search Engine Optimization and Internet Marketing. 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.

Now I tell you why link wheels are so effective , the new blogs and such webpages we create are on sites like Hubpages.com, Wordpress.com, Blogger.com, which are established, PR6, PR7, PR8 sites, and the subsequent blogs benefit from these attributes.

Also, by including a single link to each of our new sites, we are passing the value from one site to another, building up the value of each of our links. And since each of the links are only one-way, that is, site 1 links to site 5, but site 5 links to site 2, the link juice is passed to all of the sites, and not diminished by reciprocal linking (linking site 1 to 2, and 2 to 1).

So what we have is a network of up to 116 microblogs with 200 words of content related to our niche, with links all pointing back to our targeted site, making our targeted site look like an authority on whatever topic we're trying to rank for.


There are hundreds of sites that allow you to write articles on them, with their classification all being web 2.0 sites. The important thing to remember is that all sites are not equal. You want a site that allows dofollow links so that the link juice passes from one site to another, here are a list of sites that as of the time of writing this

The key to building a good link wheel is to use multiple properties, and link each one to only one other article. The larger the link wheel, the more diverse the links and the better the overall outcome of the linking.

Be sure to always use unique, high quality content in your link wheels, otherwise you run the risk of having the articles deleted by moderators.For detailed  information on the link wheels see what is link wheel and how to create it.
