Where are my backlinks going?

INTERNET MARKETING

I've been doing a consistent backlink plan for each of my articles. I add them to 10 different article directories, add it to squidoo, hubpages, wetpaint, gather, blogger, xanga, and also passing it through Free traffic system. I ping each one of the pages and all my pages are linked to my homepage and to another article on my site. I also use onlywire to push it out to the social bookmarks. Now I was checking my backlinks at backlinkwatch and my articles that should be getting quite a bit of backlinks are only showing up as getting 0-1 backlinks...where are these backlinks going.

Most obvious answer: some of the places you're using have "nofollow" in the links. You may want to check the links where you have stuff posted and see if "nofollow" has been added.

Google is changing the algorithm big-time. Self-made backlinks are no longer going to be effective. Provide a good user experience on your sites, and your pages will rise.

I've been testing this for months. It's all about stickiness now.

Articles are still good for bringing a little traffic IF the people who click through stay on site for a while. Think of it as bait. The link itself is nearly worthless unless it's coming from a high-authority site (and EZA articles are typically PR NR or PR0).

Thanks

About the quote above...do you have a link to the info on your statement that self made backlinks are no longer going to be effective? Where did you get that information or is this an opinion?
