Question on finding backlinks

I have my first site that I put together a few weeks ago. I have a daily checklist I follow for the SEO. I used SENuke and Unique Article Wizard to put out articles and social bookmarks. I have pages on Hub, squidoo, weebly, scribd, blogger, wordpress, youtube video, and a few more linking back to main site. Not to mention all the social bookmarks that I did!

I got the page to #1 on google for a particular set of keywords and on the first page of google for another set of keywords. That was for a 2 weeks. I was happy. Feeling good, no sales though, but thats for another topic.

All of a sudden it dropped to 12 place on google. Not happy anymore. I had 30+ visits a day now down to 6 a day.

So I was checking my backlinks and...

Went to findmypagerank(dot)com and I came up with this. Notice backlinks - all 0. What happened? I'm confused. I must be doing something wrong?

Pagerank: 0
Alexarank: 19,739,034
Backlinks in Google: 0
Indexed in Google: 30
Backlinks in Yahoo: 0
Indexed in Yahoo: 0
Backlinks in Msn: 0
Indexed in Msn: 21
AltaVista: 15
AllTheWeb: 15

    Could be that you built backlinks too fast maybe, but be patient. A new site always goes through this kind of thing. Just build slowly over time with a variety of linking methods and you should be fine.

      The question is did you have links in there before and they disappeared, or did you only get this.
      Anyway Google takes a long time to list links in such listings; so the links exist (otherwise you could not have been #1), but they are not yet listed in that list, that is all.
      With respect to dropping in rank, it seems that this is a common feature, there is a novelty effect first and then a correction. Next step is to go back to work and show to Google what you've got.

        Actually I never checked them before. I will find some patients and continue the SEO.
        Thanks

    Try to check this over the week and see if the rankings stabilize.
