I believe there is a large list of sites for this.

This is from ~2 years ago from good ole @Rachmaninoff

Forum links can help a lot

• HARO

• Citations (local, video, image, social)
• Web 2.0s
• Crowd Links (Q/A, Forums et al.)
• Social accounts #

So shell out some bucks, Shelly.

You can get free links from some outstanding sites with:

• HARO

These CAN help to move the SERP needle.

In addition, you can get free links that are okayish for branding and link diversity on a national level and great for local (especially maps) from:

• Citations (local, video, image, social)
• Web 2.0s
• Crowd Links (Q/A, Forums et al.)
• Social accounts #

You can try to get digital PR, guest posts, brand mentions or link insertions for free by doing custom outreach, but it's an endless number's game of hustle & grind.

It's typically pay to play.

So shell out some bucks, Shelly.

Sure. Stick to the main platforms, use unique content and don't get lost too much in the details.

These are simple links, so don't expect any big jumps from those for national keywords.

Side note: Powering up your web 2.0s with some good tier 2 links will increase the likelihood of positive SERP changes dramatically.

Stick to one platform per link. Keyword being diminishing returns here.

Here are platforms few to get you started. All allow you to publish content with d0follow links.

Just web2 won't help much until you boost them with tier links.

I was going to build 20+ web 2.0's to my main site and tier them out but I've had a lot of people say it doesn't do anything

I was also going to create Web 2.0 to each of my pages around my keyword too


Do they really?

Abyzals said:

What do you mean with brand them? for example if your money is called "example.com" would you name your web2.0's with example.wordpress.org etc?

savobaby said:

yeah, treat it like a real brand and call it exactly what your brand name (site) is and then publish supporting articles for your niche and link back naturally.

Wouldn't it be stupid to use the brand name of your money site for all your web2.0's? Lets say "brandly.com" is your money site. And you build multiple web2.0's like brandly.blogspot.com, brandly.wordpress.com etc. Google can instantly see that you are building them yourself right?
