        To answer your questions, YES, the link wheel still works, but only if you do it right, I mean, it all depends on the quality of your link wheels.

        A properly built link wheel, will take more time (and/or money) to build but the results will be up there, you'll get increased keyword rankings and also indirect traffic from the link wheel sites, and contrary to popular belief, if you build it right, google will not be able to spot it and you'll be penalty free.

        If you plan to build a link wheel, I would recommend you to read all the resources at linkwheel.pro before you start building one.

                      Well, you can move to a black or gray hat technique of link building, get results (maybe), and if you do, just have them later backfire on you when Google updates the algo and puts you back to square one.  🙂

                      I would suggest continued education such as http://moz.com/academy or other related sites. There is a ton of info out there, just have to see what works for you.

                          Probably not.  If you are going to pay $500 and get a link wheel, you will end up with a bunch of spammy/low quality sites linking to each other and to you and that will just kill you.   In theory, if all the sites were of high quality and were on related topics, sure it would help, but the time and effort and cost would not be worth it.

                            One of my best inbound links for PA and DA happens to be a footer link, curious if it's less valuable or has any value at all.

                            Footer Links And Link Juice

                            I'm starting to learn about link juice and notice in GWMT > Traffic > Internal Links, that the list is in this order by the links counted on each page. Some are in the footer and some are in the header, with some being more important than others commercially i.e. /register /privacy /terms /search /sitemap /disclaimer /blog /register So I am wondering if I should add a 'no-follow' attribute to the footer links i.e. privacy, terms, disclaimer and leave the others as they are? Does this help retain link juice on each page where the links appear? Or am I missing the point all together? This is my website: http://goo.gl/CN0e5

                            A link with "return false"- OSE sees as a No Followed Link

                            Hello, I couldn't find a clear answer to the impact on SEO for a link written in this way: [" class="expert_info" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=) [Does the "return false" act as a "no follow"? I came across this in our link data in Open Site Explorer which lists these links all as "no follows." However, an engineer I spoke to said that it shouldn't impact search engine behavior. Any ideas? Thank you in advance! -Sarah K.](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=)

                            Link Exchange

                            Hi everyone, I just started working for a client in a new niche. After reviewing the backlink profiles of his competitors I can see that the top sites are using a ton of link exchanges. They are from really spammy sites too. The kind that will link to anyone that provides a link back. Anyone else seeing much of this?

                            Link Detox and Link Removal

                            I have a question about which links to remove after running a link detox from Link Research Tools. First a little back story. I had had an SEO company link building for one of the websites I own.  But I have recently stopped working with them. In the last month my rankings have near dropped off the charts. I have just recently gotten access to Google webmaster tools and noticed an unnatural link warning from back in March. So yesterday I ran link detox and it reported 19 toxic links, 120 suspicious links, and 24 healthy links. It's rather obvious that I should remove all of the toxic links. They all from sites that have been deindexed by google. But my question is a about the suspicious links. What should my criteria be for removing them? Am I better off removing them all and leaving my site with only 24 healthy links or should I personally comb through them and remove only the worst of the worst so that I leave my site with a few more links? I'd really like to get the site ready to resubmit to google as soon as I can. Thoughts? yyCOf.png

                            Does the ratio of external nofollow links to external "do follow" links matter in terms of SERPs ranking?

                            My site has an external link nofollow:dofollow ratio of approximately 1:1 That is, there are about as many nofollow external links as "do follow" external links. I have an impression that the ratio of no-follow to "do follow" links is a factor in the way that our website shows up in SERPs. I have the impression from reading a variety of sources, and from looking at Seomoz, that calculate "trust" factors as if they mattered (in SERPs), that seem to value a relatively low nofollow:dofollow ratio. Am I correct about that? Thanks,
                            Tim PS - I don't know whether or not this matters, but our website is at: www.trustworthycare.com - Tim

                            I remember hearing in one of the link building webinars that if you hold a patent then you could get a link from that somehow.

                            Any examples or suggestions as to how this is done?
