Akismet always detects my goarticles article as spam

[havefunandlive]

I'm trying to do some backlinking for my article on goarticles by doing some blog commenting, but whenever I try to leave my article as my url, it gets picked up by Akismet and therefore, never appears.

I've been using bit.ly to get around that, but it's been 4 days since I left the comments with the bit.ly redirect and they still haven't shown up. (blog backlinks usually take 3 days at most to start appearing. In my experience anyway).

In fact, someone else made a comment after me, about 2 days ago on one of the blogs I commented. So I checked their backlinks and they've already been credited.

Should I continue to use bit.ly? I heard that they use 301 redirects so the backlink should have been credited to my article. That's why I used it.

If bit.ly was the wrong choice, how do I get around akismet so I can get back to work on backlinking and have them actually appear?

EDIT: is domain forwarding to my article a good idea? Would I be credited that way?

This is a big problem! I just discovered that my bit.ly url is getting the credit for my backlinks!

So I guess using any redirect is out of the question.

But I still can't use my direct goarticles url without being falsely detected as spam.

That is good to because I am also using bitly for my comments on blogs. I will have to shorten the title of my blog post thereby shortening the url.

I'm glad I could help.

But I'm still in a terrible predicament, though, heheh.

You're saying a comment you make on other blogs with your article URL is blocked by askimet?

For some reason askimet is thinking it's spam - perhaps someone has been spoofing your domain?

Yes. Consistently.

Ah, I didn't see this part.

It's not on my own domain. It's on goarticles' domain.

It seems the only real course of action I can think of right now is to repost the article on squidoo, but I liked goarticles ability to rank on google searches easily...

It's difficult to say. The simplest solution I can think of is to try one of the other article directories. Honestly with a few backlinks they all can rank fairly well, though some have better internal linking than others. Try ezinearticles or articlesbase, for instance.

I guess that makes sense.

Squidoo has the highest amount of domain backlinks, the highest PR, and doesn't require approval, so I think I'll give that a shot.

Thanks for your help.
