I was hoping that I could get some advice. So I put up my wordpress blog, it is set up for the most part. Had 24 Articles written around my niche concentrating on 3 key words. Started adding content to my site. took two of the articles and submitted them to aprox 30 article sites, did digg, delicious, and twitter. Also set up a ping.fm and sent out links to articles on all the services they offer. Went to some other niche related forums and posted helpful non-spammy posts with links where allowed and here is my problem. according to the firefox seo tool I have never at anytime had more than 7 backlinks to my page and as of the last three weeks it has gone down to 1 but now is back up to 3 but that is still horrible. I did also go on ebay and bought some links could that have hurt me. Anyways thank you in advance for all your help. Everyone here is always vey helpful. My site for you to take a look at is
Ecigauthority.com. I welcome any and all suggestions. thank you!
