Do web 2.0 sites still work for SEO

Yes they still work..

web 2.0 sites still work but you need to utilize many of them to see results. Post original article to each web 2.0 site with a link back to your site.

Web 2.0 sites still work and it is very easy to achieve a good ranking by using them especially if you don't have a very competitive keyword. Come up with original articles for each property, then create links around the properties to give them some link juice.

The more you have the better the effect. Just remamber to diversify it a little and allways use unique content.

Yes, they are still working.

Article directories like hubpages faced major blows during the Panda update. But Hubpages and Squiddo are still still effective not only for back links but for direct traffic as well.

It works pretty well with unique content, but have you gave a thought on how much time you need to do it properly? Should that time be invested in YOUR own sites- instead of something you don't own?

Just food for thought.

If your contents are unique, fresh ,relevance with topic and site you are linking with then it definitely works.

web 2.0 links still help a great deal, but it is good to also create links around them from social bookmarks, forum posts, blog comments, etc to give them some link juice and power too.

WEB 2.0 site are nice place for getting good back links and traffic as well.Its a powerful technique in these days.

They really work and a general rule to observe in cases in which you are able to set up a new profile online is paying attention to the stats of websites, if the pages which contain your links are in a way to get crawled and indexed by Google and other search engines, so the links will get counted and after a while they will appear on your Webmaster Tools panel also. A lot of websites are found with packs of links coming from Web 2.0 sources and doing fine most of the time.

Blogs and profiles, even the ones which are powered based on free hosting accounts and services can still contain fresh, original contents and from within contexts, some links can point at your website. This is a strategy already used by thousands of websites. Of course one point to mention in here is that even those spots need optimization and promotion, for instance they too need links, and all of such tasks are going to take you a long time to get done properly.

Yes they do work and help. But I think this requires more time than value.

They work like gold!

I've got an outsourcer guy setting up the 2.0 accounts and I simply need to write the content and sent it to him, and he can do the rest of the work. This makes it time effective and enables me to conentrate on the most important thing - good content.

They are goldmine for SEO. Just dont interlink...i mean no linkwheeling

Sure web 2.0 still work for SEO.

thy do and also provide good standard.

In my opinion definitely it will work. Squidoo gives a huge platform for search engine optimization reason. It has the skill to make lens that will add power to your most important website as well as help you choose lots of traffic particularly after your lens becomes famous. RSS feed on Squidoo page can be used to pull RSS feed from any social bookmarking website you use such as Delicious.

Web 2.0 sites works for SEO and that is the safest backlinks you can get because it is contextual links. if you can have unique content It works much better because it get indexed faster. If you can add images to it (if you are not using unique content) then stick rate increases.

Hope this helps

Web 2.0 provide a great buffer between your site and any low quality blasts you might have. This is useful, but remember that any link juice that you send to the property gets diluted a lot before it gets to your site.

On the other hand, it's far less troublesome when a squidoo page get's deindexed.
