So i have started a backlinking campain of building 1 backlink per day with a unique article on a web 2.0 property such as squidoo, webs, weebly, wordpress etc. Problem is im running out of 2.0 free webhosting websites, would it be a waste of time if i was to have more than one web 2.0 page poiting to my site ? So for example 3x wordpress blogs / 3x squidoo lenses or 3x free webs pages as i would imagne they come from the same IP address.

I cant imagne it would hurt to have more than 1 link but I just wanted to know from a time perspective, i.e would it be better for me to build a web 2.0 sites indirectly pointing to my other backlinks ?

    Can't you just post more articles on to current web properties that you already have?

    You'd get better results from building a much wider variety of backlinks, rather than focussing on one, for the following reason.

    Google has explicitly stated that they do NOT like website owners gaming their algorithm, so to avoid them penalising your site for doing so obviously, you need to build backlinks in a way that looks entirely natural (ie. as if it were being done by the public).

      Hi Chris I have to say that I think you are wrong about some of your assertions in regard Google's policies. Google has a problem with web spam being used for purpose of manipulating PageRank. However, they have no problem with you creating quality content and linking it in a way that makes sense to users.

      Personally I don't think that it matters much at all if your backlinks look "natural" or not, as long as it is unique, high quality content that adds value and utility for users.

      Think about for a second, will you?

      Will Google ever see "web spam" as "natural"?

      Of course not!

      So does it really make any difference if your web spam has a "natural looking" linking pattern?

      Of course not!

      You don't think that Google is that feeble minded, do you? That they are perfectly fine with web spam as long as the web spam has a "natural" linking pattern (whatever that is?). Or, that they are going to discount high quality content just because there is a linking pattern, useful for users, but that doesn't fit some linking pattern template?

    I would suggest you to work on the pr of a few articles that you submit. It will not be very difficult for you to increase the pr as the page comes from a good pr site like squidoo. Once it has a higher pr its impact on your serp boost will be much more better.

    Wish you luck.

    I think it's a question of "visibility", if your site is very high quality you want to make it as visible and obvious to Google, linking makes you more visible. You are doing Google a favour by highlighting your site. But if you make it "visible" and it is poor quality then Google will penalize this. Google can now check for readability, and also how long visitors stay on the site, if they leave fast, and "bounce" off the site then it's downgraded.

    In a way a blatant Clickbank affiliate site is in an impossible position, what site wants to link to it? None. So that type of site has to create it's own links and most of the one's ranking have a "profile" of links which indicates they have created them themselves but they still seem to rank well. In the Weight Loss niche there is site in near the top with 100's of obvious Web 2.0 and profile links.
