Linkwheels | Step by Step Instructions | Part 1
Linkwheels are a very effective method to boost your website ranking in the search engines and even to dominate the top ten search engine positions. They are something that few marketers use because they can be either costly or time consuming to set up. This guide has been written to help you create linkwheels much easier and quicker than before.
A linkwheel is an interconnected “wheel” of websites (at least 8 ) which have been build to push your main website higher in the search engine rankings. They link to each other and to your central site to help the central money site rank better.
Whilst they are very effective in what they do they can be time consuming to create by hand simple because of the number of sites involved and how much you need to do to create each spoke site. But they are really worse the time to create them, especially if you concentrate on one keyword per linkwheel you can get great amounts of natural search engine traffic!
There is software than can automate this for you but it is notoriously unreliable due to the complexity of the software and the task it has to perform.
However, linkwheels can really boost your money site up the search engines and so it is a useful component of any traffic generation strategy.
How to Build A Linkwheel?
It´s not hard to build a link-wheel, but before you can start posting your content and link it together you need content, here you got several options you can choose :
- Unique Content : By writing the articles on your own you can be sure to have unique and high quality content to create your link-wheels. This is by far the best but also the most time consuming source for your content, but you can outsource this part easily.
- Rewritten PLR : By rewriting PLR articles you can create nearly unique articles without the need to do any kind of research, so it could be a good alternative to write the articles on your own. Surely, you can post the original PLR articles too, but this will bring you not the results you are targeting and may even course the deletion of parts of your link-wheel!
After you got your content (about 350 – 600 words is good) you need to rewrite it again for the different spokes of your link wheel, as alternative I recommend you can spin your article massively (at least the pharagraphs and sentences, not just single words) and use an article spinner to generate many different versions of your article.

Now post your content to all of the following services and link each article to the article you posted before.
- Squidoo : Post your article to Squidoo, be sure to add some more content to build a quality lens. You can easily add Videos from YouTube, products from Ebay or Amazon and a lot more to make look your lens nice. I really recommend to invest a bit time into your Lens creation, it really pays over time!
- Blogger : Open a Blog at Blogger! Choose a design you like and post your article. Be sure to include a link to your Squidoo Lens, with your main keyword as anchor text, and link back to your main website.
