What is link wheel and how does it work?

Hi :-),

I have yet to hear of anything called "link wheel" - where did you hear this?

However, I do know about a webmaster (whose forum name is "wheel") who is known to be pretty good at link building and who posts on another popular webmaster forum a lot.

Is that (he) what you meant?

hello,
The idea of link baiting is to create a piece of content which is centered on a set demand from a specific audience. Who do you want to relate to? Why would they care? What would make them likely to spread your idea?

For example, Salary.com sponsored research stating that work at home moms did $134,121 worth of work each year. Because it was packaged as research and a story people would want to spread it spread far and wide.

Some common link baiting techniques

* Talk about a specific community.
* Give people a way to feel important about themselves, someone they care about, or something they feel should be important.
* Take recent events and scale them out to others in your community.
* Be provocative or controversial.
* Be a contrarian.
* Be thorough.

thanks.

@deepak005:

great advice.

Too bad, it wasn't you who wrote that, but simply copied it out of an e-book called "SEOBook" that Aaron Wall used to sell.

@mickeyy:

link wheel is not a new concept, but an old concept from the 90's called "link farms", which is not a good idea to use these days...

I am views link wheel is not so effective because any work which we do like article posting and blog posting etc. if link goes to main website then it is beneficial.

No, this is very important to give backlinks to each page. That's why we do linkbuilding for internal pages also.
