Web 2.0 Question

Two Questions:

If I was to create:
greatvegetables.wordpress.com
greatvegetables.blogspot.com
greatvegetables.something.com
Etc.. Etc..

As far as i'm aware, this would create a 'Foot print', but is this a bad thing for my website? Assuming that all of these links point to my main website and to my secondary site, would this have less affect than if they all had different, relevant usernames?

Also, if I was to syndicate my weekly blog posts to all of these website, would that be bad?

    The problem is that yes, it is a footprint. And you're creating sites/blogs in order to link them together and, somehow, benefit from those links.

    Google is looking for "natural" links to your site's content. So stick with one site and get natural links from other sites, from social shares. You do that by creating great content on your site that people want to share and link to.

    When I think of Web 2.0, I don't think of blogs--I think of creating great content and socializing that content on the social sites.

    Since EMD's are sort of yesterdays thing, what you want to ask yourself is, does having "great vegetables" as a keyword in all of your web20's look like it was naturally placed by somebody, or was it put up by you wanting to promote your site with an exact keyword? Most web20's put your username in as the subdomain name by default.. I would leave it at that. Or, if I had a choice, I would do all different names for subdomains, but more like a real person would.. like "suesamazinggardens.wordpress.com" and "veggiesareawesome.blogspot.com". Just my 2c :p

    That's the main point bhartzer raised, play by this rule and you will benefit very soon.

    If it looks like a footprint, I'd be cautious. As Jinx said, use more general and natural looking sites

    If that footprint was a tunnel you could drive a bus through it.
