Great article. I’ve been looking to link wheels lately and they’ve been increasing value of a lot of my sites. They do require quite a bit of working to get going but the results are brilliant. I also agree that traditional link wheels can leave a footprint and look a little “obvious” to the engines.

Hi Mike. My testing has shown that link wheels still work great. Panda is more about the content on your own site.

There has been a ton of talk as to whether or not link wheels are still effective post panda. What have you found?

Seems as if I have built a link wheel over the past 2 years and it seems to work. Yes, it’s very tedious to do by hand, but then again it’s never too late to automate something which is what computers are for! Will look further into the concept! Thanks!

Let’s give this another shot, Josh… LOL

I’ve never built link wheels in the past; seems to be effective, but time consuming.

@Billig iPhone guy. Not if you follow the 2nd picture and link from within the articles, or even “quote” some parts of the article with a link back to the article itself, ie your money site

@Jon- Never submit to any search engines. It’s like “waving and shouting”, look at me I have a brand new site. Not much chance of getting indexed with any respect. Haha

If you mix in some other links along with it, then that’s not usually a problem.

Hi Jon,

No I don’t submit any sites to Google. I let them get found naturally. I don’t normally use the same keywords to link to the next spoke as I’m not trying to rank the hubs.

Thanks for posting. Two quick questions:
1. Do you submit each site in the linkwheel to Google? If so, do you build the link structure first and then submit, or vice versa?

2. What kind of anchor text should you use for linking to the next spoke? The same keywords you want your main site to rank for? Does it matter?
