          Let suppose i have one target page i.e video and one web2.0 blog or wordpress blog. If i keep on adding new articles on web2.0 and in each article i add one back link(with different anchor text) to my same target page. Is this create red flag in google as i will be using one domain?

          Do I need to keep my web2.0 like bloggers.com and weebly or wordpress blogs relevant to one topic to increase the relevancy score. If i try to keep them relevant my back links to target pages from one domain increases again. I kind of stuck up in this loop help me out!

            To be honest, using Web 2.0 links in this way is viewed as a low quality activity. Many of these types of links were targeted by multiple Penguin updates, and too many of them could cause you a penalty.

            I'm not saying that all 2.0 links are bad - they certainly aren't. But spammers try to build 100's of 1000's of these types of links on throw-away blogger and WordPress blogs that add very little value to the web. These are the links Google tries to sniff out, so it's best to avoid them. A network of these types of links is Google's very definition of "unnatural" and could quickly lead to a loss of rankings and traffic.

            Put simply, Google wants you to earn your links.

            To answer your question more directly, the first link from any domain tends to count more than other links. So 100's of links from the same domain don't add as much value after the first links. And yes, this can start to look fishy.

            It's best to use 2.0 links in moderation, and make sure you are targeting high authority, well trusted sites. I recommend building profiles on good sites and earning links through adding value.

              Hi Sajid

              No its not a good idea to get more no. of backlinks for one website from one web 2.0 blog. Google gives more priority to the websites who gets unique link from different C Class Ip's.

              Here is the nice discussion on High Value on Lots of Sites vs. High Value on One Site

              Below are my thoughts for Web 2.0 Strategy which you can use for your website or clients:

              • Use high Quality web 2.0 Sites.
              • Best list of High Quality Websites : http://www.seomoz.org/directories/
              • Make Blog category wise or niche wise.
              • Select best theme which suits your niche.
              • Update relevant blogs on regular basis.
              • All Content needs be unique, attractive, informative.
              • Try to use images in your blog post according to the content.
              • Allow relevant guest post in your blog.
              • You can give link to brand name instead of anchor text.
              • Create profile in Social Media like twitter, pinterest, facebook, linkedIN, Google Plus.
              • Integrate all Socail Media Profiles to your blog.
              • Share every blog post on Social Media Profiles.
              • Try to get as many likes, shares, pins, tweets, etc on your blog post.

              If you do all above things on your blog then might be after some months you will see good improvements in PR, DA for the blog.
