Is it a must to have backlinks at the following high PR/Web 2.0 sites?

My main niche site has been up 6-7 weeks now, I've made sure the SEO is good onpage and offpage(Socialbot, Angela and Pauls packets etc) but I was just thinking that having backlinks on the following high PR/web 2.0 sites would maybe boost it in the SERPS. I know it's probably going to be a couple of months before it's earned Google's 'trust' but I see a lot of talk here about video sites, web 2.0 and linkwheels so perhaps I'm really neglecting this area. Here's the sites I'm talking about:-

Youtube
Metacafe
Daily Motion
Squidoo
Hubpages
Blogger

(Those are off the top of my head, feel free to add more)

Say in the next couple of weeks I added content to them all, with a backlink to my site - would that definitely have a good affect on my ranking? I pretty much know the answer but just want to make sure - I have always intended to create content on these sites but I think I should probably do it sooner rather than later. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions

    No, it´s not a must. If you can get better backlinks you don´t need them.

    Unfortunately most people cannot get better backlinks. They have nothing to trade in a link exchange or whatever. So this Web2.0 properties are an easy way to get backlinks anyway. Will it work?

    It depends. If you make a blogger blog and put links on it, then you need to make backlinks for the blog so the links on it get worth anything. The question now is if you would have made the links for your primary website, instead of for your blog linking to your primary website, would you not have gotten more SEO advantage. Or would it have been evenly effective as with the blog, meaning you made the blog for nothing.

    I try to avoid this by making real websites. I already have a few websites and are just making a new one. My plan:

    I make website. A real website. Not just something for putting backlinks on. A full entity on itself. What I´m trying to do is to add continously new content to the site and make backlinks for this new content. The content is based on very easy keywords and will bring in money quick. Each page contains 2 links to webpages on my other websites. So I make content for money and in addition I will produce backlinks as a byproduct. In time I will continue with this, building new websites and so on.

    TBH, I've never tried to gain backlinks from video websites. I keep on adding content on my blog and forums and point the keywords with hyper link to the main website which builds a strong internal linking structure.

    Google loves this

      It's not a must but I think it is a great source of backlinks and it will help in boosting your rank in Google.

        Thanks for your replies I think for the particular niche I'm in, I should definitely create some content at most of those sites I've listed - it will create more of a presence for my site if nothing else and in time I'm sure the backlink juice will be useful.

    @affiliated survivor: If you interlink your sites, you risk your site(s) being deindexed or banned as G may think that it is part of a link farm. Are all your sites hosted on 1 IP or different IPs?

    Yes they are all on 1 IP. But so far I have no problem with Google.
