Using 2.0 Sites To Build Back Links

January 30th, 2011

You’ll find that websites like Hug Pages, Blogger, and Squidoo are fantastic venues for creating back links and increases in visibility. You can even get some nice traffic from a popular web 2.0 site. These sites already have some clout in the search engines and do not have to be marketed as much as a brand new blog normally would. This article will talk more about the advantages and disadvantages of web 2.0 sites. We’ll also give you some tips on how to make them more effective for you.

The first thing we need to do is to define web 2.0 sites so that we are all on the same page. These sites are interactive information sharing sites that allow you to upload content and share it with other site users as well as organic traffic. For example , you can build a squidoo page that other squidoo members can visit as well as search engine visitors from Google.

These sites are great because you can write full length articles and link from those articles back to your own site. You can also add graphics, videos, and even advertisements on these web sites. They usually get picked up in the search engines quickly because the main domain of the site is very powerful.

There are many different sites you can sign up to and you can post on all of the sites for free. The only thing you will need is an email address to sign up.

The major drawback to building these websites is that while they get listed faster than brand new websites , they still do not hold a lot of page rank. Any search engine optimization specialist will tell you that in order for these links to be very effective, they will need to be linked to as well.

Linking to these sites can be simple. I’ll tell you my exact strategy for working with web 2.0 websites. First I will create the 2.0 site and add my graphics and videos. Next i’ll ping the site using pingoat. Following this I will go ahead and add these pages to my social book marks. This is a quick way to get the pages listed and indexed.

Once the sites are indexed you should go ahead and add a link to your site and then ping them again. You can always do more linking to these pages to build up there link power. Any links you build to your 2.0 site will indirectly be passed onto your main site.

As you can see, this method can be a very powerful method for building both traffic and back links. It is also free which gives it great value to the site that is just starting out and does not have a marketing budget.

It should be noted however that this strategy is very time consuming. Once you start making some money, you may want to hire a company with some seo packages to do this for you. Outsourcing this task will ensure that you keep building links, but you won’t have to use your time to do so.
