What Does “How to Rank Weebly Posts in Google Search: Web 2.0 Tiered Link Building with Jesper Nielsen” Talk About?
This episode of the Fatrank Podcast features James Dooley in conversation with Jesper Nielsen, a social media marketing expert and creator of the So Me Poster tool. The discussion centers on how to use Weebly posts as part of a tiered Web 2.0 link building strategy to support overall SEO performance. Jesper shares his hands-on approach to working with Weebly, including why he manually creates and updates posts rather than relying on API services, and how he ensures content uniqueness to improve indexing rates through his Prime Indexer service.
The conversation digs into the mechanics of building a tiered backlink structure, often described as a daisy chain, where social media posts link to Blogspot articles, which then get boosted by Weebly posts, all working together to pass authority back to the main website. Jesper also explains the importance of image uniqueness for ranking in Google image search, drawing a direct parallel to duplicate content issues in standard search. The episode wraps up with an honest assessment of Weebly's limitations, clarifying that it is best used as an additional referring domain rather than a standalone ranking asset.
“I use it kind of like a referring domain because the core of Google's algorithm is referring domains. It is the page rank algorithm. That's what Google is based on. So, that's why we are posting to all of these domains because we get it an additional referring domain.”
— Jesper Nielsen

What Are the Key Takeaways From “How to Rank Weebly Posts in Google Search: Web 2.0 Tiered Link Building with Jesper Nielsen”?
Here are the key points discussed in this episode:
- Weebly should not be expected to rank competitively in Google search on its own, but it is highly valuable as an additional referring domain that passes authority through a tiered link structure.
- Posting identical content across multiple Web 2.0 platforms reduces the chance of indexing, so making titles, H1 headers, and article content slightly unique for each platform significantly improves indexing rates.
- A daisy chain link building approach, where a social media post links to a Blogspot article, which is then linked to from a Weebly post, creates multiple layers of authority that flow back to the main website.
- Images uploaded to Weebly can rank in Google image search, but they must be made unique since Google will not display the same image twice even if it appears on different platforms.
- Using an indexing service like Prime Indexer after publishing Weebly content is an important step to ensure the posts are discovered and can begin functioning as referring domains.
“If you take let's say 10 completely identical articles with completely identical titles and post to 10 different websites, not all of them will index. Let's say three, four, five will index. And the rest will not index. Not because of the low quality, but because of the identical content.”
— Jesper Nielsen

What makes this episode particularly valuable is the depth of practical detail packed into a short conversation. From the explanation of why API posting no longer works for Weebly, to the nuance of how image duplication in Google image search mirrors duplicate content issues in standard search, every point is grounded in real-world testing.

How to Rank Weebly Posts in Google Search: Web 2.0 Tiered Link Building with Jesper Nielsen is available on:
James Dooley: How to rank Weebly posts in Google search results. Today I'm joined with Jesper Nielsen, who does a lot of different social media management, social media marketing, and he's just created an amazing tool called So Me Poster. But today's episode is about Weebly and how to rank Weebly posts higher in Google search results. So, first question, is there anything specifically that you do with Weebly that you might do differently to other website 2.0 properties like Blogspot or Tumblr?
Jesper Nielsen: Well, uh Weebly is this also old web 2 platform kind of like the free wordpress.com sites and Weebly sites and the other guys. So, Weebly, the thing that I do with Weebly is that I don't use any API service because they don't support that anymore. So, you do have to go in and manually post and update. And I make sure that the content on the Weebly post is slightly different than the Tumblr and wordpress.com and Blogspot content to improve indexing chance. Because what I do see is that I run the Prime Indexer indexing service and what I do see is that if you take let's say 10 completely identical articles with completely identical titles and post to 10 different websites, not all of them will index. Let's say three, four, five will index. And the rest will not index. Not because of the low quality, but because of the identical content. So, I make sure that the Weebly is slightly different, slightly unique, especially with the title and the header, the H1. And then I use the Weebly article kind of like a tiered backlink to the other guys. So, I have my social media profiles with they do contain links. They link back to the website. They might not contain links because I just want them to rank on Google. But then I just paste these URLs inside of the Weebly article. So, the Weebly will will act as a boosting link to the to the social media profile links.
James Dooley: So, while I'm at that, I'm presuming you'll be using some poster or some mini poster to do all your social media statuses on like Facebook, on Twitter, on LinkedIn, on Instagram, maybe on Blue Sky and Threads. And then you'll grab them URLs, put them into Weebler, and then you'll then load it into Prime Indexer to try and get Weebly indexed and also try and rank it as well. And then like you said, it acts as a tier two backlink for the two social media platforms.
Jesper Nielsen: Yeah.
James Dooley: But my question to you then is on the Weebler, do you ever try and rank it for in the Google videos tab or the Google images tab? Do you ever have like an image or a video onto the Weebly article?
Jesper Nielsen: I normally I I don't add videos except with if there is a if I publish the YouTube video on my own channel, then what I would do is I would go after a specific keywords, name the video that keywords, and then I would take the video embed and add it into the Weebly article. And then I would also add an image where I name the image as the keywords. Because what happens when I index the Weebly article is that then the Weebly article it can rank, but the the image can also rank. And one thing I notice is that so, the YouTube the image that you upload to the YouTube video that you show that you see in the YouTube channel, this image can rank, but you cannot reuse the exact same image. You do need to make it somewhat unique. So, this is kind of like an image issue. It's kind of like the duplicate content idea in the in Google search. We see the same thing in image search. So, you can't reuse you won't see the same image two times, even if it's on different platforms. So, I make sure that the image is slightly different, uploaded to Weebly as featured image, and then just send it to the indexing service, like that.
James Dooley: And then, with regards to using Weblet, like the Web 2.0 property, as as specifically now, forget about the rankings within Google search results, but acting as a tier two. Do you ever use it, obviously you you power it up to the social media platforms. Would you ever do any of the Web 2.0 properties like Weblet linking to Tumblr or the WordPress or the Blogspot? Do you ever link to those also or not really?
Jesper Nielsen: I uh what I do is I could let's say that I post to Blogspot first, because I would do that because I I'm using Social Media Poster for that. Then, I would grab the link from Social Media from the Blogspot article and put into the Weebly, so it's kind of it will become a daisy chain, so social media post, Blogspot article ranked to the links to these guys, and then the Weebly links to the Blogspot that links to the social media post. So, it's it's becoming kind of like a daisy chain. Yeah. So, that's how I do it.
James Dooley: And then, how do you find Weebly posts rank? If you had to choose, let's say Weebly over Blogspot or WordPress or ghost.io, is it up there with one of the best or is it just you know what, it's probably a bad question just do all all of them?
Jesper Nielsen: No, it's just I do all of them, but it's just don't expect Weebly to actually rank for anything like that.
James Dooley: Yeah, sure.
Jesper Nielsen: I use it No, I use it kind of No, I use it kind of like a referring domain because the core of Google's algorithm is referring domains. It is the page rank algorithm. That's what Google is based on. So, that's why we are posting to all of these domains because we get it an additional referring domain. So, that's how I see it. It's not for the ranking purposes. Not Weebly Weebly anyway.
James Dooley: Yeah. So, I hope you like the video on how to rank Weebly in Google search results. One thing I would say is make sure you check out the link in the description. There's quite a lot of other episodes where we talk about how to rank Blogspot in Google search results, how to rank WordPress Web 3.0 property, or how to rank ghost.io, which is a great platform and it's great for actual rankings as well. So, make sure you check out the links in the description. Just It's been an absolute pleasure.
