    Starting out, Web 2.0 sites can be great for SEO. You use their trust and authority to help rank your sites. The downside is control, you can be plugging along one day on page one, and the next day on page 9 because HubPages decided to delete your blog for TOS violation.

    If you use them, spread out your posts on many different sites. Putting all your eggs in a few baskets can be a huge problem if you lose a few baskets. Not so much if you lose a few from 22 baskets.

      Yes. I usually build 20-50 Web 2.0s, depending on competiton. And then mass profiles and blog comments to them.

    Its always recommended to allocate about 50-60% of your link protfolio to web 2.0 sites, besides trust, it also enhances traffic (provided you chose the right sites)

    A core of Web 2.0 is the idea that the Web is a platform. Not an advertising platform, but a platform where users control their own data and from which scalable services are offered.Web 2.0 is about services rather than packaged software and it is about offerings compatible with many devices (mobile phones, portable gaming consoles, different internet browsers, etc).

    I'm not quite sure what exactly constitutes a web 2.0 site, even to this day (snazzy graphics, user-submitted content, emphasis on user-interaction and community-building/participation?). The term has never held much meaning in my mind. But even so, my response is that they're not intrinsically important to SEO.

    People have different strategies. For some people, their strategy is leveraging the authority of certain "web 2.0 sites" to rank their content - much in the same way as they do article directories (much to my personal frustration ); for others it's about mass-submitting articles to them for backlinks; for others (such as myself, on occasion) they're a convenient way to build linkwheels.

    You'll usually find me in the latter group. But even though I employ them as part of my SEO strategy, I could achieve the same results without touching them. For me, they're helpful, but not of utmost importance.

    Really, their importance is subjective. They're as important or as insignificant as you make them, or allow them to be.

      Thanks for your reply. I'm still struggling with this whole link wheel strategy. Do they still work? If I use Squidoo, HubPages, Weebly etc, etc, would you recommend creating a new account for each "spoke", and target one specific key phrase with one specific article on each?

      Thanks

    Not all web 2.0 websites provide dofollow links. So, which provide dofollow links only they are beneficial from SEO point of view. Two very popular dofollow web 2.0 sites are squdioo.com and Google knol
