Well first Link wheels often are considered Black/grey Hat. Now if you want to build a white hat Link wheel you actually want it to be "Google safe".
For that you need to follow the following best practices:
The link wheel pattern would be very simple. The concept of a successful link pattern would be to generate a natural flow to the adjacent site. For example, if someone lands on a random post, the links would direct them to a fresh content which would be relevant to what they were already reading.
This opens up opportunity for the reader to explore many more social media sites available out there.
1. Unique Content.
The links would be obtained from well written, full length blog posts. The posts would be written after extensive research and on topics which would highly interest the reader.
Each website used (social media blogs would be used mostly), would be from a different blogging service provider and would carry unique blogs. Same content will not be used everywhere
2. When setting up the accounts in the blogging sites, the profiles would be completed as much as possible with authentic information. Social media connections would be made wherever possible as well.
3. A very strong keyword research would be done to write the content. The keyword research would combine several factors such as competition, trends, number of searches and so on. Separate sets of keywords would be used with each site as well.
4. All the profiles would be built manually making sure there are not mistakes and the content would be published manually with outgoing links in spots that makes perfect sense.
