    As I was writing all these years, mainly all links still work, the real problem is just a way they are built + some more...
    So everything still works, but rules are changed, as google algo is evolving(not so much lately ) so the rules of the game are evolving too and there are many factors in the game now.
    And if you are trying to game the system you will be gamed eventually, because as system grows you can't get and tune all these signals right, so this is the sole purpose why 90% or more people fail in SEO these days.
    They want to outsmart the system with low quality content all the time and then eventually they can't keep up and all falls apart, what they should do is create great content and only jump start it, then everything will fall into place and things will kick off.

    100% agree.

    That is one reason why I urge my students to choose a single niche and own it. Whatever they are passionate about and are already involved in or always wanted to become engrossed with but never could before.

    even if you use profile link or web2.0 links you have to give such links extra juicy by backlinking to it forming 1tier and tier2, thus it does work irrespective of the type of link you use but make such that such links is further boosted

    let me make it very clear having great content or good content whatsoever name you call it won't make you rank in the serp you need backlinks

    Yes the ideal is to create pages that aren't dormant pages (have no links from within and from without linking in to that profile page).
    You can build some very powerful pages on some Web 2.0s by getting a lot of followers, likes etc
    Similar to how you would a profile on a forum or social networking site.

    But I digress about the content. Sometimes it can work both ways.
    Sometimes all you need is content and you rank high as an authority site in your niche.
    Other times you can have all the content and not rank. Thats when you try the links.
    Even then though, there is no guarantee. But in most occasions it does work.
    Because Google is only a machine at the end of the day.
