If you have no idea about what linkwheels are, here is a short explanation. By utilizing web 2.0 properties, you provide more powerful backlinks to your site and each other, so that you are increasing the rankings of the spokes in the wheel as well as your own site. It is the typing together or connectivity involved in having links from web 2.0 properties pointing towards your main sites. Since this web 2.0 properties are all on different IP addresses and subnets, the search engines will see you getting links from a wide range and style of sites, and this is a good link building and good SEO practice and will increase your search engine rankings. There are some people out there stating that Linkwheels do not work anymore. This is not true. The reason why these marketers have no success with their link wheels is, that, they most likely build them, inter link them, bookmark them once and stop working on getting back links to their linkwheels. Linkwheels need back links to get indexed by Google and other search engines. Linkwheels need attention. It is not a set and forget thing. If you do not get backlinks to your linkwheels they will rank for some days and drop off the search engines fast. Social bookmarking your linkwheels once is definitely not enough.
