If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it. However, you can "help" your articles getting indexed by pinging them and/or bookmarking them.

Yea I wouldn't worry about it. If you posted the article and you have a link in it then you know you have a backlink. Not all of your backlinks will show up in yahoo site explorer. However, that doesn't mean that its not there.

Takes time for the search engines to index your backlinks, guess EZ get indexed more often than goarticles in this case.

I would however rewrite some of the articles and upload to other article directories while you wait, to get even more backlinks

I think it just a time problem, as long as the page is indexed by yahoo, it means you have got a backlink from them already.

You can't expect yahoo site explorer show each and every one of your backlink. The best thing to do is, submit and forget... the prize will follow later....

Yeah try with some other backlinks checker tools like backlinkwatch.com and never worry on those issues with which you cant do anything.I mean it solely depends on Google what to index or not to index.Your main target should be taking enough actions to get them counted as backlinks.

Some of your links will show up faster than others. In this case, it's most likely because EZA is gets way more traffic and gets visits from the search bots more regularly. A link is a link -- no worries.

Have you submitted your Ezine author RSS feed to RSS directories? It may help with indexing.

For some reason Goarticles backlinks never show up in backlink checkers although Ezine backlinks do show up. I don't know the reason for this as they are both dofollow.

Try pinging your article link through bulkping and it will certainly help in getting your article indexed..
If you can afford go with linklicious and it will certainly get your article crawled by spiders..

Also just that your article is not indexed doesn't mean that the backlink from that article is not being counted...if spider crawls your article then you will certainly get the benefit of backlink from that article...it is not like search engines will index all the URLs but once it crawls you will get benefit of the backlink but it is just that it wont be shown as a record some where..

BTW when you are submitting to article directories you shouldn't consider them for seo, as they will no way help you in SEO..but instead they will get some targeted visitors to your site...so dont expect much of SEO benefit from article directories..

Never-mind I got the answer in another thread, thanks.

Firstly check your article page where your article is live is indexed or not. If not then just wait and watch or do some work for your that page.

I have a lot of articles out there and they don't all show when the reports are run.

If you are worried, you can increase the value of your marketing work by bookmarking your articles and submitting them to social media sites. The more attention your articles get, the greater the value of the links within them.

Most links will get picked up and counted if the content is valid and passes a 'threshold'.

However, it very common for internet marketers to have a system in place that allows them to build links to other pages that contain their links. Not only does this help them to get crawled and indexed by the search engines but it will also give more weight to the backlinks contained in these 'original' articles.

After 6 months? Hmmmh, I think you can make use of some pinging

My experience disagrees with Alexa.

I have done a recent article spin submission to article directories, which helped my brand new site to appear position 2 on google.com for a local keyword.

Im sure this was due to all the articles generating backlinks to my site which gave me a massive boost in serps.

It will take time if it not get cached - so dont worry you have done your job use your time to do more.

this is a confusing thread. There is mixed and uncertain answers in this thread which is absolutely no use to the OP.

One is saying submitting articles to directorys with your link in them is going to give you backlinks, therfor higher ranking, more traffic and so on.

Then the other is saying submitting articles to directorys isnt for linkbacking and doesnt get you link backs and so on.

Wtf????

Explain in plain english and say it does or doesnt.

I might would Ping them but i wouldnt build backlinks unless its a site you own
Id backlink My own domain.

It seems Google is not the only search engine that has recently devalued the links of many top article directories
