What about content on blogs used in wheel?

Avoid duplicate content and spun or scraper content. If you decided to go that route then it’ll hurt your traffic on those blogs in the wheel and then hardly anyone will care for getting redirected to main site. You can rewrite article using human rewriter and post it on blog or you can spend some time posting like a human on those blogs. Avoid duplicate content if you value your readers and expect them to jump to your main site.

• Find wordpress multiuser sites and submit article with links to your one of the site in the linkwheel
• Promote your sites in social networks like facebook, orkut, friendster with help of feeds.

Simple Yet Effective Linkwheel Plan

Let’s create simple linkwheel using web 2.0 properties that points to your blog.

• Pick 5 web 2.0 blogs for creating simple linkwheel, more complexity you want then add more blogs.
• Keyword Research- Before you create web 2.0 properties do a little keyword research. Find the keyword which is related to your main site with more than 3000 searches. Pick 2-3 keywords per web 2.0 properties and build content around those keywords for each blog/web 2.0 property. Put your keywords on title, 1st paragraph or last paragraph or choose randomly. Bigger the blog post/article more keywords you can use.
• Social Bookmark- After you finish creating content on each of the blog in the wheel then bookmark that article/post by using social bookmarking services. You can use social bookmarking automation software to speed things up.
• Ping- Other than social bookmarking you can ping RSS directories and search engines. Use pingler.com, pingoat.com to ping your site after updating it.
