Targeted Satellite Systems
Targeted satellite systems are also known as link wheels and several other names, but they all do more or less the same thing. The basic idea is to have a number of small microsites surrounding a main site with the purpose of feeding traffic and backlinks to the main site.
Google and the other search engines work by deciding which web sites are popular and which are not. Not surprisingly, the popular ones are ranked higher than the unpopular ones. The main way they consider popularity is through backlinks. They reason that if a web site is popular, and therefore worthy of attention, other web sites will naturally link to it. While other factors certainly play a part, good quality back links to a web site will always play a very important part.
The great thing about targeted satellite systems built by The Blue Cube is that they can be scaled up at any time, and in many directions too. Each microsite is typically quite small. Around five to ten pages is usual, and this includes standard pages such as terms and conditions, a contact page, a sitemap, etc. The microsites are generally highly optimised mini sites that can pack a big punch.
Satellite Microsites
If each microsite was a standalone site it would provide a very valuable service to a main site in terms of backlinks and residual traffic. However, when a number of microsites, say a minimum of six, are linked together in a circular wheel fashion, and each one links back to the main site, then the combined power is greater than the sum of the individual parts. That, in a nutshell, is what makes targeted satellite systems so powerful.
If you put one targeted satellite system of say, six microsites in place to feed a main site you will do well. However, there’s no need to stop there. You can add as many targeted satellite systems as you like, all feeding in on the main site, growing it more and more powerful all the time.
And there’s more too. Each individual microsite of a targeted satellite system can have its own targeted satellite system feeding it! This thing can grow in as many ways as you like, or be kept as simple as you like. It is one of the most flexible SEO feeder systems there is. Also, you don’t have to build it all out at once either. The overall feeder system can be built a little bit at a time. This is great if you don’t have a big budget. You can build it at a pace that suits you.
The Blue Cube can build targeted satellite systems for you as simple or as complex as you like. They are very powerful devices and they can provide an unequalled driving force for your main money site. As far as your customers to your main site are concerned, it’s just a web site selling something. They will never know of the intricate web of power that surrounds it and continually feeds it. But you will.
