My SUPER Web 2.0 Plan

Excellent contribution and success should be guaranteed but is extremely time consuming
 
Thank you for taking time in writing this whole plan up!

It will be helpful to a newbie like me.
 
I'll post this here as this topic seems more active

Pardon me for bumping an old thread but it was the most relevant I could find for now.

What do you guys think about linking to multiple money sites from a same web 2.0? A footprint, but how bad?

Multiple in my case would most likely mean two sites.
 
When you say your competitor can report your blog. What's wrong with having a 2.0 blog for your business? I like how you gave set up details.
I know brick and mortor locations can have branded 2.0 sites, and they don't get reported. What's the difference?
 
A very well elaborated plan. Good luck and keep us informed!

Because, having 1 WordPress for yourself, branded and filled with content is one thing(I do this for aggregation), but 10 WordPress blogs isn't about branding.
 
That's a whole lot of work that could be put into building a pen network.
 
Might as well update:
I am through phase 1, I have build 38 web 2.0s from before my site went live, I am now making my site launch and doing all the outreach and press releases and marketing. I am aiming to also build 1 web 2.0 a week(mixing expired and new), I will start tickling links in over the next week(specifically written as if they caught wind of the launch promo stuff and were impressed).
16 of my web2.0s are ranking in top 1-4 spots for super low comp, non-buyer, related keywords(about 10-18 searches a month), each is getting some traffic, a few have some real social media followers. Overall, I see it being successful.

I have only lost 1 web2.0 to account deletion. Can't figure out why, since my other 4 accounts on that platform are still active 30days later.
 
That's a whole lot of work that could be put into building a pen network.

Who says I am not building a PBN as well? Diversified links and all that.
Web 2.0s cost nothing, just some time, which I can do while relaxing nightly with a beer after work.
 
Great plan, and it's worth it :D web 2.0 really works the best.
 
It's a good plan, except the number of posts per web 2.0 is an overkill and that many won't benefit in any way. It doesn't really matter how many filler posts the web 2.0 has, the only post that matters is the one that has your backlink in it. Of course, having 5-10 filler posts is a must and really good for interlinking, but more than that and you might as well make a new website with 250 posts and rank some keywords in the process rather than wasting your time with a web 2.0!

Trust me - I have tried many different scenarios and the filler posts didn't matter that much. Around 10 is what I write for each web 2.0 and even that sometimes is an overkill unless I am in a really competitive niche. Instead of writing 250 posts per web 2.0, just write 10 posts per each web 2.0 and you have 25 backlinks that are quality and in enough quantity to move you up the SERP-s. You will simply waste time and money with that many posts and then you will regret not listening to me 6 months down the road :) Just a friendly advice from someone who has dealt with web 2.0-s since I started SEO many years ago...
 
Nice to see a detailed plan layout and updates.

Please do keep updating on how things progress and enjoy that nice after work beer, you've earned them.

There are only going to be a few with high 100 posts, because I am posting out of copyright, old books and it makes sense to post them in one location. It isn't just about the links with this plan, it is about creating a useful web2.0 experience, so not just the link, but also referral, so with that in mind I need to keep the books together as one. Otherwise I agree you don't need a bunch of filler articles, only reason to go with 20 is to pepper in 2 links back to my $ite, I try to keep the ratio around 1 link post to 8-12 filler posts.

Your web 2.0-s are meant to be for Google robots, not real people. The articles need to be readable, because the moderators might remove them, not because people will read them. Am I missing something here? I mean, if you are trying to rank for keywords in your web 2.0-s, better do it on your site, it has many more benefits that way!
 
Wow, that's a very detailed plan. Thanks for sharing! Seems like a lot of work, do you have others helping you?

I agree with this. Make it readable enough so that moderators won't take it down, and so that google will see relevance and context. Pretty simple with manually tweaked spun content.

Time is better spent creating your finest content on your money site.
 
Because, having 1 WordPress for yourself, branded and filled with content is one thing(I do this for aggregation), but 10 WordPress blogs isn't about branding.

When there's 700+ usable web 2.0 properties, who would want to take 10 versions of wordpress, that's just playing with fire...

Our brand strategy is taking an authority blog post from the money site, and having a rewriter rewrite it for our 2.0 profiles (5), but the rewrites aren't complete rewrites (shorter), the writer is instructed to dive into the article and pull an angle out (5 500 mini articles in the money site 2,500 post; when you look at the headers).
Usually our headers have LSI keywords so linking to the main money post site with those anchors are helpful. This gives each of our 2.0 sites relevant and unique content while linking to the site post with various anchors.

So it's almost like doing a lengthy review of the money site post on the 2.0 5x, in addition to filler content we put up to maintain activity and relevance.
