I'm going for 2x use per article (once on money site, once on a web 2.). I figure this is the safest way, and I don't want to get too greedy.
Also, I don't spin the first paragraph. Do you see long term success with spinning?

Update:
Sorry it's been a while since I updated the thread, I just been busy with work.
I haven't created any more properties, but not all of the previously created properties have been indexed yet, and I've seen ranking fluctuations that usually end up in the same position.
For example, my main keyword dropped out of the SERP completely for a few days and re-appeared today in the same spot. As for SERP changes, the keywords i've been tracking have stayed the same since I last updated the tread except for I'm now ranking for a new keyword that's pretty promising.
This is a good secondary keyword that looks like "Sell *product* *city*". It popped up on the first page out of no where.
I plan to be more aggressive with this in the near future so stay tuned.

Update:
So I did 25 more web 2's over the passed 2 weeks using articles that were posted to the websites blog first, and adding the tier 2 of all the web 2's I've built thus far. The second tier consist of wikis (mostly d.of0llow), automated web 2's with highly spun content, article submits (high spun), document share. No blog comments because I stopped believing in that 2 years ago.
SERP changes:
Main keyword, which is "sell *product*" has hit the #1 spot for a few days, then danced around and returned to #1. The position is looking more stable by the day. This is amazing to me because it didn't require much work and effort.The second keyword hit #2 in organic rankings as well as #1 in local 7 pack, but the local rank is because of other localSEO techniques that I've been doing over the course of the last few months, so I'm not sure if i can attribute that to these backlinks.
The good secondary keyword that I mentioned in my last post went from #10 to #6
End Result:
This client has been seeing a very noticeable increase in business coming in, in call volume, online quote requests and walk ins.
I'm hoping this study helps out the community!

Awesome. You also diversified the backlink profile, right? Or have you been using mostly the syndicated articles?
I can confirm holding top positions too..

The site I tested this on did have existing backlinks, but the SERP movement I reported in this study is due to ONLY the syndicated web 2's. Also, glad to hear you having success with this method too!

Pretty interesting. This may save lot of work in the future 
Anyway, thanks for the study!
Anyway, thanks for the study!I noticed the same thing last week when i was analysing some competitors backlink profiles. I noticed some of them used a lot of these website : http://wikkelen-info.expertpagina.nl/ (this is just a random link, not my website and not a real competitors just an example)
The point is all these websites where filled with syndicated content from the money site and are helping greatly in the rankings.
Is it realy that easy?
Edit: Also i cheked the contend with copyscape and found much much more of these sites all filled with the same content.

An interesting concept to play around,especially on blackhatworld
Content Syndication as you said may do wonders if used properly,a good example represents Press Releases.
Syndicating content on Web 2.0's should work out too based on a similar concept,but there are still variables that we need to uncover
An important aspect to discuss may be the link back to the source.
Also,google authorship might help a lot here.

The reason for web 2.0's being better than Press Releases for SEO purposes is that links in a PR are encouraged to be no follow, and web 2.0's can be d.of0llow. Im an advocate for the fact that dof0llow links being the only actual useful links.

Update:
As some of you know, there was a Penguin refresh a few days ago, and the website I'm testing this on was not affected by it - So I must be doing something right!
It's not about being easy or not easy, it's about looking natural. If you don't use the same content over and over then it looks fine. I only use an article twice for this method so make sure nothing fishy is picked up by their algo. And giving the web 2.0 some unique commentary can help against manual reviews.
It is a very simple method, but it has proven to me that it's effective.

Excellent study dude. This is something I have on my list of projects to set up a trial of as I had a hunch it may be useful. Great to see it in action then!
One thing I thought about was using a further tier to the web2.0 'syndicated' articles which would be an exact repeat process but 'shrunk' yet one more time to ~150 - 300 words. While I realize this is adding an extra workload / time I figured is that it will add another level of protection for long-term staying power. What's your thoughts on this? Unnecessary extra work or worthwhile?
Oh by the way Scritty - I like your blog, but you appear to have Matt Cutts in your G+ circles!! (j/k)

The tier 2 method that you're talking about is cool, but:
Iit would require the article to be used an extra time.
It really wouldn't add so much to the tier 2 since you would theoretically just have 1 extra tier 2 link per article, so Im not sure it's worth it.

Hmm... yes I see the logic there. What I was really wondering was if there was potentially any more juice to be squeezed out of the tiers as I'm not convinced I'm using them entirely to full effect, having noticed how riddiculously easy it is to rank some stuff using certain platforms.
Could you be more precise about the tier link types?
By only mentionning tiers it means nothing, they could be of any type. I couldn't help giving my point of view here, did you mean building a second tier of web 2.0 to the web 2.0 ? What platforms are you talking about ?
