On Dec 26th (2 weeks ago), I wrote a keyword-optimized blog post as an experiment in backlinking. I then embarked on a fairly aggressive backlinking project for that post URL. This included 30 or 40 article site submissions (including manual submission to Ezine Articles and a few others) with anchor-text link pointing back to my post url, paid backlinks (blog commenting) from 3rd party linking service, links from my own 10 or so blogs (all on different IP addresses), dozens of social bookmark links, and to top it all off, I painstakingly posted links back to the post from 7 web 2.0 sites, and then linked to THOSE 7 from about 20 OTHER web 2.0 sites. After all that was done, I pinged all the RSS feeds for every page that had a feed (which had already been submitted to aggregators).
There should be hundreds of inbound links to the post page on my site. But Market Samurai and Scrapebox only register 28. And here's the strange part. Of those 28, only 3 are from external sites! The remaining 25 are from my own domain (links from other pages on my site, sitemap, category links, etc.).
The weirdest part of all of this is that the article page currently ranks #12 on Google for its chosen keyword, even though only 3 inbound links are registering.
I would be very interested in what the more experienced Warriors think of this result! Any opinions are appreciated.
Thanks!
Ken
