What Does “How to Rank Weebly Posts in Google Search Results with Jesper Nissen” Talk About?

This episode of the James Dooley Podcast dives into the practical tactics behind ranking Weebly posts in Google search results, featuring digital marketing specialist Jesper Nissen. The conversation zeroes in on how Weebly fits into a broader Web 2.0 link-building strategy, covering why manually posting to Weebly is necessary since it no longer supports API services, and how making content slightly unique across platforms like Blogspot, Tumblr, and WordPress improves indexing rates through services like Prime Indexer.

James and Jesper also explore how Weebly can serve as a tier two backlink vehicle, linking out to social media profiles and other Web 2.0 properties in a daisy chain structure. The episode touches on image SEO within the Weebly context, explaining how uniquely named images uploaded to Weebly articles can rank independently in Google image search. They also discuss embedding YouTube videos into Weebly posts as a way to chase keyword rankings across multiple Google tabs simultaneously.

“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 Results with Jesper Nissen”?

Here are the key points discussed in this episode:

Weebly no longer supports API posting, meaning all content must be manually uploaded, which adds a step but ensures the platform remains a viable part of a Web 2.0 strategy.
Making Weebly content slightly unique compared to posts on Blogspot, Tumblr, and WordPress significantly improves the chances of indexing because Google will not index multiple pieces of identical content.
Weebly is best used as a referring domain and tier two backlink rather than a primary ranking asset, since its value lies in passing link equity to social media profiles and other Web 2.0 properties.
Building a daisy chain structure, where a Blogspot post links to social media profiles and a Weebly article links to the Blogspot post, amplifies the authority passed through the entire link network.
Adding uniquely named images and embedded YouTube videos to Weebly articles creates additional opportunities to rank in Google image search and the video tab alongside the main article.

“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

Is “How to Rank Weebly Posts in Google Search Results with Jesper Nissen” Worth Listening To?

This episode is a genuinely useful listen for anyone already working with Web 2.0 properties who wants to understand how to extract more value from platforms like Weebly. Rather than treating Weebly as a standalone ranking tool, Jesper reframes it as a referring domain asset and explains exactly how to structure a daisy chain of Web 2.0 properties to maximise link equity flow. The conversation is refreshingly honest, with Jesper openly stating that you should not expect Weebly to rank for competitive terms on its own, which saves listeners from wasting time chasing the wrong outcome.

What makes this episode particularly valuable is the level of tactical detail Jesper provides around duplicate content and indexing. His insight that even high-quality identical articles posted across ten domains will only result in three to five indexed pages is a practical lesson that can immediately change how someone builds out their Web 2.0 network. Combined with the discussion on image SEO and YouTube video embedding inside Weebly posts, listeners walk away with a clear, actionable framework they can apply straight away.

SEO professionals and link builders who work with Web 2.0 properties and want to improve their indexing rates and link equity strategies.

How to Rank Weebly Posts in Google Search Results with Jesper Nissen 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 different with two 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 uh 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 Weebly, 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 your social media platforms.

Jesper Nielsen: Yeah.

James Dooley: But my question to you then is on the Weebly, do you ever try and rank it for in the Google videos tab or the Google images tab? Do you ever add 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 keyword. 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 SEO. 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 Weebly 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 Weebly 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.

Jesper Nielsen: Take care.
