UAW Yahoo Backlinks

Probably none. The backlinks will exist but Yahoo is not going to share its propriety data in real time. it is an out of date estimate only. The number will always be low and you will see old links in the results.

But seriously, what will you do with the results anyway? Would it make a difference if it said 5 or 500? You might think it does, but it doesn't really. What counts above all else is traffic to your site. This (if using organic sources) is directly determined where you rank for your target keywords.

Focus on selecting quality keywords. And then focus on where you rank for those keywords. Forget crap like the quantity of backlinks Yahoo is showing you.

Here is a tip ... get a spreadsheet. Put in it -

'keyword' 'start current rank' 'start traffic from keyword' 'week 1 rank' 'week 1 traffic' etc

Keep track of your marketing campaigns. Create a list of say 30 keywords and to 3 articles per keyword or so.

You really didn't answer my questions. I am not doing article marketing for direct article traffic, I am doing article marketing for SERP and organic traffic.

I know where I rank for those keywords, I am using this is a baseline comparison to other services to figure out where max efficiency is obtained.
