Common Problems Faced by SEO Practitioners in Link Wheel Construction

Common Problems in Link Wheel Construction

1. Are the connections between the blogs involved in the link wheel simple friendship links or full - site links where each blog sets up a secondary navigation for others?
   To achieve the best effect, it is best to use full - site links between each blog. That is, each content page on the blogs should have a link to other blogs in the link wheel.
2. Must a link wheel be built using independent blogs? Can other programs or free blog platforms be used?
   Independent blogs can achieve the best results. Other programs can also be used if they have excellent indexing performance.
   Using free blog platforms to build a link wheel is less effective compared to using independent blogs, but it can still improve the efficiency of building external links.
3. Are there any special requirements for the content published on the blogs in a link wheel?
   The requirements are the same as the rules for publishing on external blogs.
4. Is a link wheel considered a form of group spamming?
   Referring to the article "What is a Link Wheel? Common Methods of Building a Link Wheel", the first and second scenarios (as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2) are relatively safe and can be considered non - spamming. However, the third scenario involves a large number of websites and carries some risks. Therefore, we generally recommend using the first and second scenarios and do not recommend the third scenario (as shown in Figure 3).
5. In the third and most complex scenario of the link wheel, are A, B, C, D, and E ordinary blogs or the main site?
   This is a good question. Among A, B, C, D, and E, the weight of these sites can also be very high. These sites can be used to optimize some medium - difficulty long - tail keywords.
   Then, the middle main site can be used to optimize the brand site of your own industry.
   This approach is similar to the "stars surrounding the moon" model, where there is a main site surrounded by a group of smaller sites serving it.
6. Do all the external blogs need to have different IP addresses?
   For the blogs within each wheel, try to arrange them on different IP addresses. However, blogs from different wheels can be on the same IP address. This can save costs without reducing the effectiveness.
7. I have 10 blogs. What should I do?
   You can build two simple link wheels in the first form. That is, one main site and two wheels.
8. I have 20 blogs. Should I group the blogs and use the link wheel external link form from the beginning or wait for some time?
   Group the blogs and use the link wheel form from the beginning.
9. In the link wheel, the number of blogs in each wheel is mentioned as 5. Is this 5 a scientific number that must be strictly followed, or is it just an estimate, and a similar quantity level is acceptable?
   This is a relatively safe estimate. It is better to control the number within 10 to be on the safe side and prevent being discovered by search engines and getting penalized.
10. Some articles on the Internet say that each wheel in the link wheel can adopt an open - ended form. That is, a links to b, b links to c, c links to d, d links to e, and e does not link back to a. Is this form better?
    Some people are testing the open - ended link wheel form. The test results show that there is not much difference in effectiveness compared to the closed - ended link wheel, and the results are similar.
    However, from a safety perspective, since more people are now using the closed - ended link wheel, it may be safer for us to use the closed - ended link wheel.
