    Web 2.0 is a big topic with lots of different meanings. But in terms of link building for SEO, mostly people are just referring to social media and user-generated content sites, which can be useful for generating links - either by the 'white hat' way of getting your customers to talk about you and generate content that links to you, or by the more 'black hat' method of generating lots of content on these sites yourself with links for the sole purpose of helping your pages rank more effectively.

    The kinds of sites referred to as 'web 2.0' can range from Twitter to Wikipedia to Squidoo.
