Link Wheel Web 2.0

Building a quality Link Wheel will improve your SERP results. Ask any SEO Pro and he will tell you, the more quality as in, high PR (pagerank) backlinks you have to your site and internal pages, the better and faster your site will rank with Google in the SERP's.

I designed this link wheel to demonstrate what a well structured link wheel should include. There are four main Web 2.0 buckets to each link wheel I build.

Link Wheel Web 2.0 Buckets

• Audio
• Video
• Images
• Text/Articles

I get better (and faster) results getting quality links from these top tier sites than other SEO guys get that shoot for getting hundreds more links from sites with a lower pagerank. My experience shows that the 20% / 80% rule applies to link building. If you have strong on-page optimization and a solid link wheel with high PR sites, you will do better than those sites that have more links to lesser PR sites. Social Media Marketing Plus carries a PR4 and this didn't happen over night! Slow and steady link building is the model I follow and I suggest you do too!
