What is a link wheel
Link Wheel:
Links are important for websites as they make your website to be ranked higher in search engines as long as they are of quality. Using a link wheel is one of the ways that are used to create links to your websites from other sites, which is sometimes known as offsite technique. The most common way of creating links to your site is usually through one way links but with a link wheel you can add as many sites as you can to the linkwheel so that you are able to create many links to your websites.
Link building is essential for any website to be reputable as well as attract a lot of traffic to the particular website. Linkwheels are the most popular ways of linking websites in the SEO circle at the moment. SEO articles are those that use specific keywords to be able to increase the visibility of an article when a particular keyword is used in a search engine.
To create an effective link wheel you will have to put up twelve to sixteen new blogs or smaller sites with a variety of topics and include a link back to your website. The content in these blogs should be of good quality and unique as well and are approximately two hundred words each. Link building on these sites is important so that users or readers of the sites are able to access different information yet still be able to visit the targeted website as well. When link building using a link wheel, it is important to use one way links from one website to another on all the sites on the link wheel.
The sites used to create a link wheel are usually web 2.0 websites such as WordPress.com, Blogger among others. These web 2.0 websites include two links with one connected to another web 2.0 site and one that goes back to your targeted website. A link wheel that is done well will reveal a network that is targeted to your website making it seem credible on the subject that it is looking to be ranked highly for.
Nevertheless, as with anything that has benefits link wheels are also able to be of great disadvantage to the owner of a website. This is because search engines like Google are always investigating the origin of links to a website and if they find out that you have been manipulating the process then all your link building will be wasted. Websites have been penalized when it is discovered that the owner of the website is the one who created the web 2.0 sites.
To be able to maintain your link wheel using this link building technique, you will have to constantly update your web 2.0 websites so that they look like authentic blogs. Web 2.0 sites are always updated two to three weeks so you will have to do the same for your sites so that you are not suspected of manipulating the link building process.
