Where are my backlinks going?

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.

    I have been noticing the same problem. I have been using SENuke to auto-post to web 2.0 sites. I have yet to see any of them show up in backlinkwatch.

    anyone have any ideas?

    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).

      To the OP...it sometimes takes MONTHS for a backlink to show up!

      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?

      I have not heard about the non-effectiveness of artificial link building. Anyone has any data to support this?
