Web2.0 Linking Strategy?? Huh?

[beyondyours]

Love the active replies so far.

Okay lets tackle Web2.0 linking strategies.

I am talking about the ones where you get several Web2.0 properties - hubpages, squidoo, weebly etc.

1.) Instead of just straight linking to my money site from all these web2.0 properties, i should create a natural but not so predictable linking arrangement, correct? Where I even link between the Web2.0 properties and THEN link to my money site?

2.) Now, my second question is, do I need to keep these Web2.0 properties relevant? If the money site is about how to make money painting, then the Web2.0 properties should be about painting, correct (fairly positive about the answer to this but wanted to certain)?

3.) I assume I should get a domain with these Web2.0 properties that has my main keyword in it? Or can I use related keywords in the URL as well for some of the Web2.0 properties?

ie) Assuming my money keyword phrase is "how to paint" I would create URL's like... http://[main keyword].blogspot[dot]com or http://www.squidoo[dot]com/[main keyword]

Should I ever make a Web2.0 URL that is a related keyword? For example, "paintingtips.blogspot[dot]com"? Or stick to only using the main money keyword phrase?

I suppose my main concern, is just making sure that I pick the right URL (money keyword only or change it up with money keyword and LSI/related keywords) and that the content on the Web2.0 is setup properly.

Can you master SEO warriors steer me in the right direction?

Thanks.

You can create these Web 2.0 properties and link back to your money site. There is no problem with it unless you are trying to specifically create a link wheel.

2.) Now, my second question is, do I need to keep these Web2.0 properties relevant? If the money site is about how to make money painting, then the Web2.0 properties should be about painting, correct (fairly positive about the answer to this but wanted to certain)?

Yes, they have to be related to your money page. In this case, how to make money painting.

3.) I assume I should get a domain with these Web2.0 properties that has my main keyword in it? Or can I use related keywords in the URL as well for some of the Web2.0 properties?

Yes, try to have the main keyword in the URL. If not available, use a close related keyword or a synonym.

ie) Assuming my money keyword phrase is "how to paint" I would create URL's like... http://[main keyword].blogspot[dot]com or http://www.squidoo[dot]com/[main keyword]

Yes

Should I ever make a Web2.0 URL that is a related keyword? For example, "paintingtips.blogspot[dot]com"? Or stick to only using the main money keyword phrase?

In many cases the main keyword may be taken. You have to look for related keywords or synonyms.

I suppose my main concern, is just making sure that I pick the right URL (money keyword only or change it up with money keyword and LSI/related keywords) and that the content on the Web2.0 is setup properly.

All said and done, the key in getting your Web 2.0 properties to succeed is to update them on a regular basis. Just building one and then forgetting it is not going to help you. You have to participage in each of the Web 2.0 communities, actively seeking relationships, liking other peoples' lenses or hubs, linking to them, leaving comments on their properties etc. Then others will reciprocate. Build it once and then they will rank - you can forget the whole thing.

Also dont forget to build backlinks to your web 2.0 properties. Updating them will make them gain PR and will make your main site benefit.

Use automated tools for the backlinking part on your web 2.0 so that it will not be very time consuming. If you do it manually it will take you a very long time that you will not be able to do any other projects!

what tools do you suggest for backlinking?

are these tools just for backlinking to web2.0 or can i use them on other online assets?
