Link Building: Want to discuss interlinking content

[activitysuper]

Hi,

On the 'Viper chill' blog (some may of heard of this blog) he talks about interlinking content in an attempt to build up link juice to get more from the content and pass more PR to the target website.

Here is the link to the post, a few scrolls down and your see a diagram.

I have also attached the image to this post, so we can discuss in more detail by referencing to it.

Now this guy knows what his talking about, lots of big players back him up, but does this method actually work better then having one link from each article pointing to the target website?

If an article links to another article surely the PR flows into other links on the page as well as your own down grading the power of it?

If the answer is yes, would this work for guest blogging?

I know that link wheels and such like this are pretty popular right now and have been for a few years or so, and personally I think if it is done in a fashion that is genuinely helpful to the end user in finding relevant information about the subject in question then Search Engines will probably see this as well.

But I think, with newer algorithm updates footprints left by tactics like this are looked at and scrutinized more for this type of activity as "manipulatory" or Engineered to Manipulate even if they may not be that in reality.

It is a tactic in my opinion that should be employed, but employed for referential purposes and not engineered just to pass the most amount of rank and not always self serving.

w00t!
