Short primer and what's missing from the thread: several replies here (for example , and ) correctly described the wheel-like structure you read about, but the important context is intent and quality. A “link wheel” is a set of pages or properties that are created or coordinated to link to each other and to a target (“money”) site; that pattern is what people mean by a wheel. When the network exists mainly to manipulate rankings rather than to help real users, search engines treat it as a link scheme. (seoptimer.com)

Practical risk and what to watch for: Google’s systems plus human reviewers look for footprints — circular/interlinked properties, identical or over‑optimized anchors, shared ownership/hosting patterns, sudden spikes in links — and will either ignore those links or apply manual actions that demote or remove pages from results. If you suspect a wheel has been built (yours or someone else’s), check Search Console’s Links and Manual Actions reports, export samples, and follow Google’s remediation workflow; the Disavow tool is only for links you cannot get removed by outreach. ()

If you want safe, sustainable gains: stop trying to “hide” link juice with webs of controlled properties and focus on earning editorial links (useful research, case studies, tools, broken‑link/resource outreach, HARO/digital PR, targeted guest contributions). Quick audit checklist you can apply right now:

  1. Export backlinks (Search Console + one third‑party crawler).
  2. Flag suspicious patterns (many low‑quality domains, repeated anchors, circular linking).
  3. Takedown requests → document evidence → disavow only if removals fail → rebuild with earned, relevant outreach.

For step‑by‑step tactics and healthy link ideas, follow current link‑building playbooks rather than wheel templates. (backlinko.com)

Hey LoginBD & SEOiwc2010, here's a basic understanding of what a link wheel is:

Link wheels power up your pages, they are self-created. They ensure that your sites are indexed very quickly by relying on already well-established websites. These sites evidently place attention to your main website. I hope this helps!

Link wheels were really good a while ago, but now Google seems to ignore them. Try the horseshoe method.

Link Wheel is used to generate more traffic and backlinks to your site. Different sites or blogs that has a link to each other.
For example:
A - B - C - D - A - B - C...

Linkwheel is a powerful SEO and SEM technique that maximizes your backlink potential. It is a great way to get a ton of traffic to your website. These link wheels create backlinks to your main page, which give it a higher search engine ranking.
Linkwheel should be a part of your SEO strategy side by side with article marketing and other powerful techniques.

SNIP The problem with linkwheels is each property needs to be created with a different IP address. And they all have to dofollow. One nofollow link in the wheel messes it all up. I find it better to create a type of T design with my dofollow web 2.0 properties. Once this is done I built them up with links and promote within their various communities. Hubpages can get really powerful if you promote them from within. I created a Hubpage that is PR3. That Hubpage ranks really well just on its own.

You have one “money site” which is your content site that you want to rank better in Search Engines for the keywords it targets. So you start a link wheel to do so, which basically consists of leveraging multiple web 2.0 sites like Squidoo, EzineArticles, Blogger etc. by creating pages on each of them, linking them all together to build up authority then link each of them to your site.

A Link Wheel is a set of mini sites using Web 2.0 sites. Link wheels take advantage of the ability to create your own webpage on these popular sites.
