The Benefits of Link Wheels and How They Really Work

One major determinant of an online business success is traffic. Every unique visitor that comes to your website measures the rate of success of your website/online business. The common and the best way to drive traffic to your website/online business is ranking high in search engines, this practice is known as “Search Engine Optimization” (SEO). And one of the greatest SEO techniques that top SEO guys prefer is building “Link Wheels”.
If you are wondering, a link wheel a host of different micro-blogs/web 2.0 sites created on a particular topic or keyword containing articles and URL of a targeted website (website you want to rank).  Basically, a link wheel is used to create several backlinks on high page rank websites to your website. These backlinks alerts web crawlers which are used by the search engine providers to determine ranking of websites. A good link wheel will contain at least 12 of such micro-blogs/web 2.0 sites, the more the better.
Link wheels can do much more than increasing search engine rankings. It can also directly drive targeted visitors to your website because if someone ended up finding your micro-blog post which is on the topic he or she is looking for, he or she might read it and finally end up coming to your website to find more information, through the link you provided of course. Such visitor may end up becoming your regular reader or convert into a customer.
Link wheels can also help in achieving a high page rank (PR). If your website continues to stay ahead in the search engines and traffic keeps flowing in. Over the time, you will start noticing increments in your page rank. And high page rank of course helps your website gain even more authority with the search engines and pushing you down will be a mission impossible for your competitors.
Backlinks are not the only thing that determines the ranking of websites in the search engines. In fact, you should stay away from people who believe they know the exact method search engines uses to calculate search rankings because the search engines will never release that and more so, the rules are changed constantly. This is to say creating link wheels alone won’t guarantee a top rank, especially if the keyword you are targeting is a competitive one. But it will definitely increase your chance of climbing the top of the tower. And if mixed with other search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, link wheels can be very effective.
Link wheels have been the revolution of SEO for the last few years. And if done the right way, it will help your website feature in the top of search engine results for your keywords.
