Web 2.0

Web 2.0

The new evolution of interactive websites in the world today, Web 2.0.  Sites like Squidoo and Hubpages offer free blog hosting and systems where people can easily interact and build their own “niche” of web space through automated content management systems.  Anyone can do it, and although there isn’t a real chance at profits or big traffic on a sub-domain blog, there is some strong potential for SEO opportunities..
What is Web 2.0?

• Free Blog platform
• Content management systems that interact with amazon, flickr, and other media sites
• Subdomain that exists off very powerful primary domains -> www.squidoo.mydomiainiscool.com
• Hundreds of thousands of people interacting and visiting different blogs/lenses/pages inside the main domain

All of these sites require only quick registration and a valid email address, many users have multiple accounts in various interest, activities, professions, basically anything you can imagine.  So there are potential readers/visitors that you need to connect with and network.

SEO Tips for Web 2.0 Sites:

• Smart Profile building: add your website, keywords in anchor texts and description areas
• Write content that is keyword rich to your target search phrases
• Images are a plus; keywords in description, title, captions
• Include “link widget or tool” on the blog; insert related links to other websites AND your own domain
• Keep it natural

This way for most Web 2.0 sites you can easily setup a nice blog with 2-3 articles, some extra useful links, and a few comments.  Building a quality backlink resource for your primary domain(s) and the sub-domains can gain page rank.

SEO Recommendation:

1. Always take the time to write unique content for the Web 2.0. It will absolutely pay off in terms of backlink juice..
