Backlinking rookie, does this look good as an action plan

Driving backlinks to some articles for some juice, going to do the following:

1. Social bookmark article URLs once published, along with pinging and RSS feeding.

2. Create Web2.0 pages on a few big sites (squidoo, hubpages, tumblr, etc) using spun versions of other articles with anchor text links in body pointing back to original articles (i.e., the spun content will never point to the original content is was spun from, just for safety).

2. Throw a few Yahoo Answers and high-PR forum profile links at article URLs, varied anchor text.

3. Submit spun versions of articles to blog network content distributors Free Traffic System, Article Ranks, and Article Marketing Automation. Spun articles to have varied anchor text that link back to other articles that aren't the same source as the spin (same technique as Web2.0 pages).

QUESTION: Any other blog network services you prefer over AMA these days in that $47-$67/mo price range? Something new you'd recommend?

4. Submit spun versions of articles to other article directories via UAW, again with varied anchor text links that point to different articles than the spin source.

5. As time permits post a few comments on dofollow blogs for each article, participate in a few niche forums with actual posting.

That's the plan!

Did I cover all the big areas pretty much? Trying to diversify and have both short and long term links that can last the test of time while still giving the articles a bit of immediate traffic (which has its own benefits).

Any suggestions?

    It seems like a great plan to me. However, as far as I know, Squidoo, Hubpages and Yahoo Answers are nofollow. But they will definetly help diversifying link sources and look more natural for the Big G.

      I see a ton of yahoo answers as strong backlinks for pages via Site Explorer, but interestingly I haven't seen a hubpage or squidoo page lately. You may be right on that.

      EDIT: Just went and looked at a bunch of affiliate links within the bodies of squidoo and hubpages for other people that were posted today, no sign of any "nofollow" code in their a href links, so they're probably fine.

      You made me think twice haha, because I've seen both of them mentioned too many times as cornerstone backlink sources for everything (though with silghtly reduced PR and importance in recent years due to exploitation and Google penalizing them a little) to make me believe they went to some sort of of nofollow system.

      EDIT #2: On the other hand, a quick check to Yahoo Answers DOES show nofollow instructions on every a href link from people posting live urls today...so now I'm really confused, lol.

    Have all links from all articles and web 2.0 pages point to your main site.

    Just make sure you link all your inner pages too.

    Other than that it looks like an ok plan for weak to medium competition depending on how good your main website is.

    Squidoo and hubpages require you to contribute a little to their community and then they turn your links from nofollow to follow.

    You can add Unique article wizard to your networks. I have heard good things about SEOLV also but I haven't tried it yet.
