Linking circles include a group of related support sites and blogs that are owned by you.  The idea is that rather than going out and finding websites to buy links from, check up on, and worry about, you simply create those sites yourself.  The cost is about $10 per year for each domain that you own and the site needs very little design work.  You can even use free wordpress templates to create your network of support sites.  Outstanding free templates are available at Poker Blog Themes.

Going on Autopilot

If you do use wordpress you can also take advantage of the other side of Unique Article Wizard and become a publisher of their unique content.  They offer a free wordpress plugin that will automatically post new blog posts to all of your blogs each and every day.  All you have to do is create site wide links to your rakeback site and watch the links pile up.  You should also link between all of your support blogs to complete your linking circle and help promote all of them together.

Promoting Your Supporting Sites

Once you have a few posts on your blogs you can start running them through SubmitEaze and watch them build page rank as well.  I use Bookmarking Demon to crawl the RSS feeds of all of my blogs to make sure that all of the pages get indexed.  I also use a plugin called XML Sitemaps that is available free through wordpress.  This plugin will automatically generate a sitemap and resubmit it to google every time a new article is posted.

Earning Additional Revenue

The other nice thing about support sites is that they do not have to cost you money.  They can actually make you money.  By adding poker affiliate products or simple adsense blocks you can easily cover the cost of the domain and put a few bucks in your pocket every month.  I have created support sites before that actually began making more money than the sites that they were designed to support.
