Link building is one of the most important elements of achieving a higher ranking and one of the best ways to build backlinks to your blog is through web2.0 sites. There are so many web2.0 sites out there, and some of them carry a lot of weight with search engines like Google when it comes to authority. We all know that backlinks from dofollow sites are the ones that actually count when it comes to achieving a higher ranking. That is why most bloggers only use dofollow web2.0 sites to build backlinks. That is a huge mistake!
Googles Number 1 Link Building Rule
If you read Google’s webmasters guideline or ask any SEO expert, you will know that the number one rule for link building is that they should be built naturally. Do hunderds of backlinks all from dofollow sites and no links from nofollow site look natural to you?… Exactly! That is why I made this big list of web2.0 sites without worrying about dofollow or nofollow web2.0 sites. The best practice for link building is using a mix of both kinds of web2.0 sites. By using only dofollow web 2.0 sites to build backlinks, you risk getting your blog penalized, as it will make Google and other search engines suspicious. With that said, here is the list of web 2.0 sites along with their current page rank:

thanks for a great list, would you say building backlinks to 5 a day is a good starting point?
Andy,
Nobody can tell you how many links a day is good or bad. It really depends on the individual site. However, when you start building links, keep a steady pace. If you start building 5 links a day, keep it at same pace, don’t jump to 100 links the next day, it would look subspecies, though in some rare case it could happen naturally, like when a post of yours goes viral and hundreds of blogs link to you in one day.
The best advice I can give you is to Keep the “it should look natural” tip in mind.

Hello Satrap and thanks for this very informative list. I have 2 questions for you. First, what is a 2.0 website? I see the term thrown around but not sure what attributes classify one as such. Also from what I have read about link building and building page rank through it, that you should do so with sites that are in your niche. For example those who have an music entertainment blog should build links with other like minded sites and not those about sports, education, politics…(those are just some examples I am throwing out) or does that matter anymore whether the sites you are leaving links on are relevant to yours?
Karen Cruz recently posted..White Flag – SpokenWord Version
Karen,
1- Web 2.0 is basically another form of websites, websites that are built with user generated content. Web 2.0 sites allow you and I to easily interact or collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue. It lets us share information, opinions, comments, ideas, links, ratings and etc. It basically comes down to this: web 2.0 means use generated content on a local level that can be shared and accessed in a global level! Hope that explains it.
2- Yes, its always a good idea to get links from relevant sites. However, as I explained above, web2.0 sites are use generated content. which means you can go in and create a page on any topic and add links to your own site and have it published on the web. So in a sens you are building backlinks from relevant pages.
satrap recently posted..How To Remove Dates From a WordPress Blog
Thanks you Satrap for explaining that for me. I totally get the whole 2.0 concept now, I just never knew that was the name for it.
yagirlnextdoor recently posted..White Flag – SpokenWord Version
You are welcome Karen.
The name web 2.0 is actually credited to Tim O’Reilly (he is the founder of O’Reilly Media, and a big big technology advocate). They say that in 2004 his company had a conference where they were brainstorming ideas for making a new kind of web technology where everyday users like me and you could use the web in a more interactive way. The conference was called “web 2.0 conference” and thats where the name comes from.
Although, some people disagree with this and associate the name to others. But, this is what most people believe to be the case.

Hi kevin,
That is true about Squidoo. But hey, when you work with free sites, you never know, they always have all the controls. Just like with blogger, Google shots down hundreds of blogs everyday and no one can do anything about it, because its Google’s property.

You’ve brought a good point to our notice i.e. all links from a dofollow blog(as we intend to get) may not be natural & we must have a few links from nofollow as well. Otherwise the link-building may look un-natural. may be penalized by Google.
Geet | HobbyPainting recently posted..Glass Painting Without Background Color

Hello Satrap,
Two points.
1. Just because a website puts NOFOLLOW on the link does not mean Google or other search engines do not count the link. For all we know, Google may count NOFOLLOW links higher than FOLLOW, doubtful, but possible. So, I agree with you, do not worry about the NOFOLLOW part.
2. Not sure I agree with the slow and steady link building. Suspect that natural link building can happen in bursts when something is popular. If someone sees something useful, sends it to a 50 friends and they send it to 50 friends, you can have a whole bunch of links at once. Whereas one guy building links to his blog, can only do so many. So, slow and steady link building may be more indicative of unnatural link building.
Thanks for your comments.
1- I don’t know about other search engines, but Google doesn’t put any weight on links from nofollow sites.
This is not my words, this is what Google says about nofollow links,
“…How does Google handle nofollowed links?
In general, we don’t follow them. This means that Google does not transfer PageRank or anchor text across these links. Essentially, using nofollow causes us to drop the target links from our overall graph of the web….”
You can read more about it on Google WebMaster Central
2- I agree with that and that is why I said “…though in some rare case it could happen naturally, like when a post of yours goes viral and hundreds of blogs link to you in one day…”

“By using only dofollow web 2.0 sites to build backlinks, you risk getting your blog penalized”
I can’t see this being correct though. As a site owner you have no control over who is creating backlinks for your web site – it means a random person, maybe a competitor, could sabotage your web site by generating thousands of dofollow web 2.0 sites backlinks trying to get you penalized. Wouldn’t seem fair to me.

Thanks for your comment. You are totally right, that is why I said “you RISK…”. Google doesn’t say anywhere that you will be penalized for having links only from dofollow sites.

I think your link building efforts should concentrate on getting dofollow links with varied anchor texts. As you start to rank in search engines you will start naturally getting back links and you will see that most of those will be not so effective anchor text like “Click here”, why waste time getting nofollow when you are likely to get the naturally anyway naturally.
Nishadha recently posted..Advantages of FOREX currency trading
Nishadha, Thanks for adding your feedback. You touched on a very important point that I forgot to mention and thats building links using different anchor text. I agree with you that when you start to rank well, you will get backlinks naturally, but why would you wait until you rank well to promote your blog? Plus, most of us may not rank that well in the search engines to get tons of natural backlinks. And beside the point I made earlier about making it natural looking by using both dofollow and nofollow sites, don’t forget that so many nofollow sites rank quite well and get a lot of traffic and having your link there, could drive a lot of that traffic to your site. After all, all these link building and trying to rank well is for the traffic!

We also use unique article wizard and ezinearticles.com to post spun content (with a few link wheels and remote blogs for color and texture) and link is back to our blog.

Thanks for posting this list – I didn’t realize there were so many more options than Hubpages and Squidoo.
With that being said, I question how many of these blogs will actually get indexed by Google. I assume that they have a decent chance of getting indexed if quality content is added as opposed to spun garbage…
Ella recently posted..Beneficial Herbs Used In Body Wraps
Ella,
Getting indexed by Google doesn’t have anything to do with the quality of the content. It comes down to the popularity of the web 2.0 site you use and most importantly what you do to index your web 2.0 property. Its all about getting search engine boots to visit those pages.
I simply bookmark each property to at least a few top social bookmarking sites such as digg and submit RSS feed to RSS directories. You can also interlink your properties to help get them indexed faster.
With that said, I dont think you should put up garbage. Quality content can always help you in the long run. While we use these sites just to build backlinks to help increase se ranking, your web 2.0 property itself might end up ranking high one day and if you have good quality content on them, you may very well see lots of targeted traffic to your main (money site) site.
satrap recently posted..Get Paid to Surf- SurfBountycom
@Ella, Most of the blogs will get indexed. Google is very efficient at finding sites if they have links heading to them. Whether they get ranked in any way that will be useful – well – that is the challenge.
I really appreciate this list Satrap. VERY useful list!! Stumbled it!
mindykoch recently posted..Social Media Beats Advertising
Hi,
thanks for the list. I would be very interested to hear your opinion about linkbuilding to web2 properties.
Do you think having many links pointed to 1 of your web2 property and from there only 1 link to your money page is better, than having all the links directly to your money page? Hub-pages by the way should be do-follow as well if you remain some content score.
The fact is, no one can say for sure how it works. But, I would think that it may work a bit better that way. Also keep in mind that the PR of the web 2.0 sites you use also play a big role in how effective each of your properties would be.

However i do think RSS submissions will help in getting you all kinds of weird nofollow links to help create the noise you are looking for.

How do I start linking to them? You have provided the homepage URL only. Does the PR of the Homepage carries over the other pages? Example Blogger(blogger.com) which is PR 8. How I do link to Homepage?

You dont have to get backlinks from the home page. When you get a backlinks from a sub domain of any of these sites, the homepage juice rank is passed on to you and your link somewhat..

Thanks for the great list. Do you think these sites are still effective for linking since the last google algorithm update?
You are welcome. Yes, I believe they are still effective as backlinks are still one of the most important factors for ranking ion Google’s algorithm and I believe they will always be.

EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you for this list! I am now engaged in the labourious process of creating profiles and networking at most of these sites. It takes creativity and energy but it’s a lot more fun than I expected. BTW, thank you for the insight about natural linkbuilding and ignoring dofollow/nofollow. I’ve always maintained that one shouldn’t be too picky about where one gets links otherwise one won’t end up with any, and your rationale about mimicking natural linkbuilding is just extra vindication.
You are welcome.
You are on the right path, keep doing what you are doing and you will get there.
And you are right, its best to not be picky about dofollow-nofollow, since natural backlinks don’t just come from dofollow sites.
Best of luck to you.

That is a lot of research and a great foundation for backlinks. There are quite a few on there I never thought to look into! Do you think they all have ‘dofollow’ links available?!
greenhosting recently posted..SEO Tip Of The Day – Get Traffic With CommentLuv
No, not all are dofollow. But, as I stated in the post, Its best not to worry to much about that. After all, link building should be natural and if you are getting backlinks naturally, you will have a mix of dofollow and nofollow links.

XVIDEOS recently posted..grammy awards
I am sorry, I dont quite understand it?… How would you use about.com to build backlinks?…
The only way to do that would be to apply as an expert author to write articles for them, whcih most people who apply dont get accepted. About.com is not a web 2.0 site that average blogger can use to build backlinks.

This is a great list. Thanks for splitting them up according to PR. I highly doubt that it will help much especially after Google panda uodate
I always like to start my linkbuilding with a linkwheel.
I use ezine and more high ranked article sites as my tier 1 and many web 2.0 as my tier 2′s.
y reasoning for this is that the articles will always be there and the web 2.0 change their rules all the time.
I stopped using squidoo, because of the time consuming updating they expect.
I try to use as many high page rank web 2.0 and mix them in my linkwheels.
I found a few more in your list that I will start using.
Thanks for sharing this with us

Thanks for the great list. Very useful. One more thing I use is Facebook Notes. It’s a good idea to post informative notes on your brand’s FB page They’re indexed by Google! Well, they’ll be nofollow, but I believe they work. Also good for direct traffic.

I hadn’t thought about slowly building links before, but that makes sense. If a new site just shows up out of nowhere and goes from 0-200 backlinks in a day it probably raises some flags for the search engines. I wonder just how often links should be added? 1 a day? A couple per week?

Thanks for the great list. It’s a great resource. However, I was wondering if you could explain a little bit about backlink wheels?
Thanks for your list satrap and I agree u on natural link building.
I have an issue, since it is difficult to write unique content for every web 2 site, can I write a blog or article and submit it to all the sites as it is? or should I spin the articles? Will i get the link juice?
If anyone has better strategy for web 2 link building, Plz Share. Thanks!!!
Great list of web 2.0 sites! i need more..!!!
I just have one question – how can you possibly predict whether or not AND how many links are good and commendable?
