link wheel

In a nutshell
Basically, a linkwheel is a set of SIX Web 2.0 properties
interlinked in a “wheel” structure, all promoting a page on the
web which is the focus of that particular “wheel”.
Let me explain, or well, let this image show you.
Hope it makes sense.
Basically, you have six properties up, and each contains a link to
the “focus hub” AND its 'neighbor' as you can see in the image
above, the arrows representing links.
Expanding
Your “focus hub” could be ANY page you wish to promote. For
example a page on your website, or another Web 2.0 property.
To expand, you could build a linkwheel like this around a page,
and then build a new linkwheel around each of the properties that
are in that linkwheel.
For example, in the above image, you would continue building
another linkwheel having Weebly and Squidoo etc AS the Focus Hub.

Make sense?
You could take this idea and apply it to so many different things
I'm not even going to bother with covering more scenarios. Use
your imagination!
Taking Over the G
Use of the Linkwheel strategy can bring some serious Google
domination implications. For keywords with lower competition you
could easily take over the front page of Google.
Further Promotion of the Wheel
Alright, so while what I've explained could bring some great
results, this will take it to another level with minimum extra
work.
RSS Awesomeness
Okay, so EACH of the web 2.0 properties you publish your content
to will also give you an RSS feed. If you can't find it, on the
top of your browser by the URL address bar thingy you will see a
little RSS icon glowing if the browser can find an RSS feed on
that particular page.
This is what it looks like in my version of Firefox 3 (I'm on a
mac)
The little blue icon there is the RSS icon. Just click it if you
can't find the feed manually. The icon could be orange too.
After you've gotten the RSS url, just go to http://pingomatic.com
or http://pingler.com to ping it.
Social Bookmarking
Unless you have access to an automated social bookmarking tool,
don't even bother with bookmarking here.

If you do, awesome. Personally I use another tool of Howie's,
Bookmark Generation.
The reason why is because it automates Account creation on all the
social bookmarking sites, plus that it puts the actual bookmarking
on autopilot as well, and it can bookmarks your stuff across
dozens of accounts at scheduled times.
Like, you can tell it to “Bookmark these six URLs 5 times every 10
hours”.
I love it, but it's just my personal preference.
There's also Bookmarking Demon which is good too.
If you're on a budget, the best FREE bookmarking tool would have
to be Onlywire.
There's also SocialMarker and SocialPoster which are free too.
Basically what you do here is to just bookmark all the URLs in the
Linkwheel. Simple as that.
Web 2.0 Properties
Alright, so those six above are just a few of the different places
you can post your content to.
Basically – you want to post your content to ANY site where you
can, which does NOT make your outgoing links nofollow.
Some of the popular sites, such as Zimbio for example, puts a
“nofollow” tag on the links you put there, which pretty much makes
the link near useless in terms of ranking benefits.
You can check if links are “nofollow” with Aaron Wall's SEO For
Firefox plugin, for the Firefox browser.
Here: http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html
And it's free!
Anyway, here you'll find a list of some of the other Web 2.0
Properties you can and should use.

Web 2.0 sites:
http://squidoo.com
http://wordpress.com
http://livejournal.com
http://blog.com
http://blog.co.uk
http://jimdo.com
http://blogger.com
http://weebly.com
http://blinkweb.com
http://blogsome.com
http://blogvis.com
http://yola.com
http://iblog.my
http://vox.com
http://rateitall.com
http://clearblogs.com
http://easyjournal.com
http://blogetery.com

Again, those are just a handful for you to start off with. I'm not
gonna give you specific instructions for each one of them, so play
around a bit... and if there's an option to create a “website” or
a “blog” - always choose a blog because you get an RSS feed that
way, which you can ping and add to directories.
Wordpress MU
So... to get even further ahead of the competition... There are
THOUSANDS of sites running Wordpress MU.
MU stands for multi-user... meaning each user can set up their own
blog.
The most famous WP MU blog site would of course be Wordpress.com,
and from the list above, Blogsome is also running Wordpress MU.
But there are literally THOUSANDS of smaller ones.
Have a look here:

Yah, that's more than 21K results. Go crazy.
Just make sure they're dofollow.
So for each linkwheel, just pick six properties and go!

SubWheels
Something else you can do to achieve total Google domination is to
build SubWheels... This image explains it:
Here's another example to get your creative juices flowing a bit:

Working Backwards to Save Time
This was a mistake I made when I first started doing this.
Let's bring up that image again.
