Social Media Link Wheel – Riding Towards the Future

Is it your dream to climb to the top of the Social Media ahead of your competitors? To do this successfully you must learn how to ride link wheels and win the Social Media Marketing race. Most people will utilise blogs (microsites) to enhance their Social Media Marketing but many will wonder why search engines will not pay much attention to these sites. In short the reason this happens is due to the fact that the spiders that search engines use to crawl sites are not able to spot the links in the chains of information. They must be told about these in order to identify them. Branching Out Media understands the ‘language’ that search engine spiders use through years of research and we know how to get their attention.

When it comes to successful SEO ‘content is king’ – yet things have changed significantly in the past few years. Unique and fresh content is still relevant in SEO, but you have to tell search engines that this content is yours. To do this effectively and efficiently you need to create a chain of links between the online content that you have distributed. This chain is known as the “Link Wheel”.

Creating the Ideal Link Wheel

You may have already had experience with Link Wheels and various strategies and found them to be ineffective or spammy. Branching Out Media have been studying Link Wheels to find out what works and what doesn’t for some time. We realise that creating the ideal Link Wheel is quite complex as they are not all approved by search engines. If you use a poor quality Link Wheel you will not be following SEO guidelines and rules and you could be wasting the SEO on your site as a result. We are pleased to tell you that Branching Out Media has created the ideal Link Wheel that is 100% safe, follows search engine guidelines and is totally compliant.

Understanding the Wheel Prior to Making a Purchase

To keep things simple we create the Link Wheel by putting your content on the top social media sites such as: wordpress, livejournal, blogger etc. The only thing you have to do is give us your main keywords for the site that you are looking to have optimised.

What to Do First

Our highly talented SEO researchers will find sub keywords that are related to every one of the main keywords that you give us. With these the SEO content writers at Branching Out Media will create keyword rich content that is unique. Every piece we create for you will be sent out for your approval. Once you have approved the content we will set the Link Wheel strategy in motion.

Strategy

All of the content we have written which includes your main keywords will be submitted to the top Social Media websites – wordpress, livejournal, blogger etc – which create the inner wheel. The number of sites your content is submitted to will depend on the package that you choose. At the same time a second content containing your sub keywords will be submitted to the sites that are classed as making up the outer wheel. When all of this is in place Branching Out Media have created unique content on various social media websites, all set to be linked.

Next our experts at Branching Out Media will start to create link wheels by linking the inner wheel sites directly to your website. The outer wheel sites will link to the inner wheel and promote them and make them much more visible to search engines.

SaaS applications

A recent Gartner report says while adoption of SaaS applications in the U.S. has grown substantially, it is, in fact the U.K which has become global leader in this particular technology. These figures are obviously somewhat skewed because of the relative sizes; nevertheless show that although Stateside SaaS adoption numbers are still the largest worldwide, UK companies have demonstrated even greater alacrity in jumping on board with cloud computing.

According to the report, cloud computing market is likely to grow by nearly 17 percent globally in 2010. Nearly 30 percent of the total cloud computing applications market will come from UK companies seeing the sense in radically reducing costs at the same time as implementing highly capable cloud-based technology.

With SaaS expected to grow considerably for the rest of this year it is predicted that 95% of companies are fully committed not only to maintaining this adoption but also to expanding it.

All insteresting stuff!
