High Quality Web 2.0 Backlinks

One of the most common missed opportunities that we see on people’s websites, is that they have not built a moat around their castle (their website).

What we mean by this is that there are social websites like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Pinterest, and Instagram. Most businesses are only on a couple of these.

There are also other websites that we call Web 2.0’s – these are simply other places you can put a branded page about your business on.

For example, there are blogging websites like Tumblr, Weebly, WordPress, and Blogger.

One of the most fundamental aspects of your search engine optimisation strategy should be Web 2.0’s.

These are websites across the internet that you can get a branded page to put your content on.

When you create a blog post on your website, it can be sent out to all these social websites and Web 2.0 websites.

This gets you easy links which help you rank, and it also makes you look like a serious business in Google’s eyes so you will rank higher in the search engines over time.
