Here is a great new SEO technique called "Link Wheel" by Lemonarian. 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.
When you have the RSS feed URL, go to http://howiespinger.com and log in with: username: guest password: guest Don’t know if Howie wants me to give that away, but he kinds of gives it away for free all over the place anyway. Anyway, what this tool does is that it pings your feed PLUS that
it submits your RSS feed to dozens of RSS feed directories. Simply put: Quick indexing by Google and a whole bunch of backlinks to your properties… which in turn gives you good rankings ;)
With Howie’s Pinger you can submit 3 feeds at a time, so after you’ve finished a wheel, just open up 2 tabs with Howie’s pinger at the same time. Major power here guys :)
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, on the next page you’ll find a list of some of the other Web 2.0 Properties you can and should use.
So, I hope this article was useful for you guys and I am eagerly waiting for your reply or comments on this… if you guys have any doubts please contact me at sweetharika1@gmail.com and I am ready to explain and I can also work for you at very reasonable price if you guys need to implement this.
