SEO experts treat Web 2.0 links as a second-tier priority because they are usually free, easy to create, and less powerful than paid backlinks. Paid backlinks often come from high-authority sites, which pass more SEO value and help boost rankings faster. Web 2.0 links are still useful, but they take time to build and usually have lower authority, so experts use them more for support than as the main strategy.
