I just bought a white board and sketches our stage 1 link wheel SEO. The center is the site affordable-host.com - outside it are 12 WEB 2.0 sites that i posted two blogs each. the web 2.0 sites are linking to each other thereby forming a wheel. Inside the wheel is the CORE - my site.
Outside the wheel are 3 squares - 1 youtube, 2 EzineArticle 3. ArticleBase
The red triangles on the upper left and upper right of the board are hundreds of thousands of blog comments, RSS feeds and social bookmarklinks to supplement the wheel.
