How To Find Your Keywords
Before I show you the best web 2.0 sites for backlinks you must get some low SEO (Search Engine Optimization) competition keywords.
Head on over to the Explore Keywords website. This is a completely free keyword research tool.
The whole of this ranking strategy is completely free. I found the target keyword for this page using this tool.
Pop a seed search term into the search bar and hit the search button.
I like the look of the long tail keyword that is at the top of this list.
Let’s take a look at the competition for this keyword before we go ahead and settle on this keyword.
To check the SEO competition of a keyword head on over to the Serp Robot website.
Enter your website URL and your target keywords and hit the search button.
Under the ranking results section go ahead and click on the “RUN SEARCH” button.
This will run a Google search on your target location for the target search term.
Now you can asses the competition. This is how you know if you should go ahead and try to rank for this target search term using web 2.0 backlinks.
As you can see in the image above, the Google search reveals low competition from an SEO standpoint.
To asses if this is a good target keyword you should take note of:
- Do the top ranking sites have the exact keyword in the Title?
- Do the top ranking sites have the keyword in the URL?
- Do the top ranking sites have long in depth content?
If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, then the keyword is going to be more difficult to rank top on Google using web 2.0 backlinks.
If you answer “no” to all of these questions, then it is highly likely that you have discovered a low SEO competition keyword.
This means you will be able to rank #1 on Google for this search term.
How To Write/Optimize Your Website Content
Now that you have your low SEO competition target keyword it is time to write/optimize your content. Then I can show you how you can use web 2.0 sites to rank #1 on Google.
Here is a basic checklist to follow, this will ensure your content is optimized and ready to rank #1 on Google:
- Ensure the keyword is in the META DATA: Title TAG and Description Tag.
- Ensure the Keyword is in the H1 TAG.
- Ensure the keyword is in one H2 TAG.
- Ensure the keyword is in one image ALT TAG.
- Ensure the keyword is mentioned at the top, middle, and bottom of the content. The overall keyword density should be under 1%.
Do not over optimize your content. I have the keyword within the content just below 1%.
If you are unsure about anything at all, go ahead and take a look at the top ranking websites content. This website is top for a reason.
If your website in on WordPress you can use a plugin like Yoast to asses your content for you.
As you can see, this page has every green light that Yoast SEO offers. This page is perfectly optimized for a top Google ranking.
How To Index Your Content
To get our content crawled by Google bot and indexed into the SERPs we use the Rank Math Instant Indexing Plugin for WordPress.
When you know how to use this strategy you will also understand that they will also help get your content crawled and indexed.
When you have installed and activated the plugin you just need to drop the URL for your new content into the instant indexing box.
Then you just need to hit the “Send to API” button. This will ensure Google bot crawls and indexes the new content on your website.
Next you can go ahead and start to rank it using the following web 2.0 backlinks ranking strategy:
How To Use Free Web 2.0 Sites to Get Backlinks
Now that you have a target keyword and your content written/optimized, you can go ahead and get some web 2.0 backlinks.
Let’s take a look at using web 2 sites for free and rank any keyword #1.
Your content alone will not rank #1, you are just about always going to need some backlinks.
Web 2.0 backlinks will help push positive rankings for any keyword, no matter how hard the SEO competition is.
The lower the SEO competition is, the less amount of web 2.0 backlinks that you will require, and of course this means less work.
Here is the Free Web 2.0 sites list that we are going to use to rank this page #1 on Google:
- wix.com
- weebly.com
- wordpress.com
- strikingly.com
- site123.com
These are without doubt the best web 2.0 platforms for link acquisition. They do not drop, and all of them are easy to use.
Many web 2.0 platforms now offer user-generated media inside. This means you can generate AI content and media within the web 2 platform itself, saving you a lot of time.
We use this web 2.0 backlinks list because they do not drop, and most importantly, the posts index on Google SERPs.
If the posts are crawled by Google bot then the system knows that your backlinks exist, this means keyword rankings will change.
Let’s go ahead and get some web 2.0 backlinks in place…
To sign up for a free web 2.0 account you will need an email address. You can use a free temporary Email account if you do not want to use your own.
If you are looking to rank for local keywords then local relevance should be included in your posts. Make sure you embed your Google MAPs and NAP (Name, Address, Phone) data into the posts. You can also include a link to your Google My Business Page and or Google MAP page.
Get Some Quality Content To Post To Your Web 2.0 Sites
Before you sign up for the web 2.0 sites you will need some content to post to them.
Content creation is really quick if you choose to use AI tools. This generated content does work, this page proves that in the results section at the bottom.
You can generated content about all evergreen topics that you can think of.
For your Web 2.0 SEO to be of the highest level the content needs to be unique and well optimized for your target keyword.
You can hand write the content, which is very time consuming.
Do not worry, there is a free option to generate quality content that will index on Google.
Head on over to the ChatGPT website. Sign up for a free account.
Enter “write a unique article about” followed by your keyword.
You can repeat this step 5 times over to get 5 unique pieces of content to post to the web 2.0 sites.
If the generated content is not long enough, you can ask ChatGPT to fill out some of the sections.
Also, go ahead and get 5 niche related images from Google. You can add 1 image to each of your posts on the web 2.0 platforms.
Anchor Text To Use For Web 2.0 Backlinks
An important factor is to understand how to use anchor text on the links.
To be 100% certain about what anchor text to use you can do some cross-link research before you start building backlinks. This means you can check the anchor text that the top ranking sites are using for your target keyword. You can use free tools like SEO SpyGlass to grab your competitors anchor text profile.
Go ahead and analyse 2 or 3 of your competitors backlink profile and roundup comparisons to get the right anchors for you to use for this project.
Do not over use your keyword as an anchor text.
Make sure you mix up the text that you use in the backlink. The following is a good rule to stick to:
- URL
- BRAND
- TITLE TAG
- GENERIC (click here, go here etc)
If you are going to following this ranking strategy you can use 1 exact match keyword anchor text in every 5 links.
So 4 links will use anchors from the list above, and 1 link will use your exact keyword as the anchor text.
If your content is optimized like I have showed you here then it will rank top for the search term anyway.

If Google does not know that your backlinks exist then they will not have any impact on your keyword rankings.
