A link wheel is a SEO strategy that is widely used in the Internet Marketing world. Many professional internet marketers and SEO consultants use the Link Wheel strategy to their advantages to rank higher in the search engines. A link wheel consists of a “money site”, also known as the site that you are trying to drive traffic to, that has a wheel of web 2.0 properties pointing all to your website with a link and pointing to one other web 2.0 property in the wheel. Basically it is a group of interconnected websites that all push link juice to your money site. Many beginner bloggers, webmasters, and internet marketers here about link wheels and wonder to themselves “what is a link wheel and how to create one“? We will go over this in the video below and then give you a great list of sites of web 2.0 properties, RSS feed submitters, social bookmarking tools, and the best website to ping all your links.
Link Wheel Walkthrough – How to Create a Link Wheel
When creating a link wheel for the first few times you need to be cautious that all the links are properly working and that all content on each web 2.0 website is unique. If you have content that has no value or articles that were swiped from other websites, Google will pick up on this and can hurt you in the long-run. To make sure when creating a Link Wheel that all your content is unique, write it all yourself. Do not purchase the articles or use an article swipe software. If you do use this type of software make sure you proofread the article many times and that the content is changed to your own words. I would still not recommend using one for this method.
When making a linking on one of the web 2.0 websites, make sure to use an anchor text. This way the link will be connected to a keyword, this will help Google rank you for your targeted keyword for whatever your money site your are driving traffic to.

Hi Kyle my questions is does this information still apply and is worth the effort since the Google Panda/Penguin situation?
Lydia Brown recently posted..The Value of Asking Prospects Questions
Hey Lydia,
Thanks for the feedback! As far as I have notice it hasn't hurt any so I think the link wheels are still a great startegy. Remember link wheels do happen naturally so it can be difficult for Google bots to pick up what is real and what isn't. As long as they are solid web 2.0 profiles and the articles are of good quality you should be good!
