How To Improve Your Search Engine Ranking By Building a Link Wheel Using Automatic Software

Most people attempting to market a product or service on the Internet are faced with an issue. A big issue – generating search engine traffic to their web pages through search engine rankings.

My most favorite way – which is often ignored by the Internet marketing and make money online brigade – is to write decent content in the first place. I am slowly learning why this is often ignored, but the writer in me feels obliged to turn out decent content when putting metaphorical pen to paper. Combine this with a large amount of incoming links and you are well on your way to success.

This is a graphical representation of a link wheel

Basic Link Wheel

What you have is your money site in the middle of the wheel, and as you move out from the money site, there are quality sites pointing at your site which also link to each other. We are going to go a number of steps further than this with more sites pointing at those sites and everything interlinking. But – at the centre of the wheel – and the ultimate goal – is your money site.

This is how to go about building a wheel similar to this one with as much automation as possible. It is not possible to completely automate the process, and – sorry to say – you are going to have to do some work. But, these are a few tools that will cut the workload down to a reasonable level.

Step One

Build at least five “Web 2.0” sites linking to your site. I hate the term “web 2.0” as it is just marketing bullshit, but – for want of a better term, this will suffice. Hubpages would be included as a “web2.0” property, and any number of the free blogging platforms such as blogger or wordpress.com would also count. Basically, any shared site where a lot of other people come and post content would count.

This is a brief list of five, and there are no shortage of these sites around – there is a list with more here – free blogs.

• Hubpages
• Blogger
• Wordpress.com
• Squidoo
• eZine Articles

I recommend varying the sites you choose to do this step for as much as possible to avoid leaving an obvious footprint. I also recommend setting up a new account with a different user name and email address each time. That will not be so practical at hubpages and a few other sites, but you can do this at most of the free blogging sites.I will discuss leaving a footprint in more detail further in.

So – you now have your money site and 5, “web 2.0” pages linking to your money site. Use anchor text in the links to your money site based on the keywords you are targeting. You can – if you wish – build more than 5 of these sites, but I suggest starting with 5 and if the keywords you have targeted are highly competitive, you may need to come around and do a second pass, repeating the steps here.

First Tool – Article Spinner

Using an article spinner to create unique content on these sites is the easiest way to begin. You will need one, 400 – 500 word article that is 100% unique. You can either write it yourself – or buy an article form any number of freelance writers. Now – buy this tool – The Best Spinner. You will then be able to produce a vast amount of similar, but unique articles – five of which you will use at these web 2.0 sites.

Google have accidentally created an entire business around this subject. Article spinning – some of which produces horrendous garbage – is the bane of any article marketers existence. Many a time I will find an article I have written that has been put through a spinner or multiple translations through several languages – all to produce unique content to use for link building.

What a pain in the ass this is – I hate it – absolutely detest it. But – I need to create incoming links and this is the most time and cost-effective way of producing the content – so – go buy an article spinner. If not this one then another. You are never going to be able to produce several hundred unique articles fast enough any other way. And you are going to need a lot.

Either way – this is absolutely the best I have found so far. $7 up front as a trial and the $77 per year make this thing absolutely the best value article spinner on the web. It is learning all the time, and every time you – or any one else – adds a synonym to the database, it grows.

Building the Web 2.0 Pages

So – now you have several hundred versions of your original article, use five of them to create pages at five of the sites you have decided on. I will use the five I listed as an example. Hubpages is extremely good as a first line of link building and you can also link these five sites together.

So – let’s say you start by using hubpages, and add a link back to your money site. Now – add a another article to blogger with a link to your money site and the hubpages article. Now add a page at wordpress.com with a link to the hubpage and your money site; now a page at Squidoo with a link to your money site and the wordpress page, now an article at ezine articles with a link to your money page and the Squidoo lens.

So – you are getting the picture. All the sites link to your money site, and interlink with each other. I suggest – and I will go into this in more detail – that if you are using adsense to monetize your main site – you do NOT sign up and use the revenue sharing possibilities with adsense at any of these secondary sites.

Step Two – Create multiple links to your money site and these web 2.0 pages using OneWay Links

Step Three – Create another three or more levels of links using BRUTE FORCE SEO

Step Four – Create thousand of links from social bookmarking sites using Bookmarking Demon

Conclusion and further reading

I have read an awful lot of stuff over the last few years about generating links. Some people think it is un-necessary; some say it is a waste of time; some people do it and some do not there are plenty of pother pieces of software being touted and they all promise fantastic results, many of which are total garbage and will do absolutely nothing for your rankings or search engine traffic. I am not going to bother listing the stuff I have tried that did not work. But – take it from me – not all links and software are the same.

There is more than one way to skin a cat, and I promise you – this works. It also takes time, effort and money and it also requires that you have done some homework and are reasonably certain you can recoup the expenditure. The reason it works is because you are taking the trouble to make sure that all the incoming links to your money site have some value, by building links to them and pinging the links in the farthest edges of the wheels. You are also giving value to all the sites in the wheel and are actively helping to build the web 2.0 sites and other blog’s authority.

Depending on the level of competition for the niche you are trying to rank for – you may need to create another batch of web 2.0 pages, do another pass targeting a different keyword or redo these steps.

As far as I am concerned – I have given you all the ammunition you need to get the search engine rankings and traffic you need right here in this article. And if you think this is too much money to spend ranking for your search terms – you are targeting the wrong terms. 8-)  And for those of you familiar with my work – yes – this was published at hubpages originally, but triggered their “overly promotional”  filter and was unpublished. After consideration and discussion – I decided to publish it here instead, despite the fact that it did not break their TOS  – but – if it is that close to breaking their rules, I don’t want to mess with their mojo.
