First, you need to vary your anchor text. Google considers a rapid increase in backlinks with the same anchor text as potential search engine spam.

Keep doing what you are doing with the articles, but try to make certain you vary the post times and vary the content so it is unique.

You also need to make certain your website is SEO optimized and you have included the keywords and title tags and all that other stuff for your on page SEO.

There are probably tons of other things you could be doing like submitting videos to video sharing sites... but you are moving in the right direction.

Google is notorious with their misleading ways, they will never show you all your back links. A better alternative is yahho's site explorer. However even yahoo (and I'd guess everythig lese) has a certain lag between a link going live and it being shown in site explorer.

It takes google awhile to get your back links showing up on there index. If you really want to start getting google backlinks I was placing another page of mine in every blog post. This was getting me google back links from my own blog even though they where using the same domain name but located in different places.

Hello, Google is jus terrible showing you backlinks.

Just try yahoosite explorer and you'll se a huge difference in backlink quantity.

Forget about using Google to check your backlinks.

Google crawls each site depending on their popularity. So it might take them up to a month to find that new link that points to your site. Also Google index is so massive that it takes quite some time to re-calculate it and make the new link juice take effect.

So all in all it might take like 3 months before you get the full benefit of that link.

You can learn more about keyword optimization before trying to get backlinks for maybe the wrong cause from our post, Learn Keyword SEO in One Post.

Google is Google... You will only see your backlinks after 3 months or six months, some even a year... but they are there and they have already been indexed. It just doesn't show.

well it takes time for you to see your rankings.. Usually it takes months. Just continue on what you're doing, improve more is better. And you'll get there

Just to throw in my two cents here...

I think the keyword work at home may also be too competitive and hard to get a top ranking in the SERPs. You might want to try going a little more long tail with the keyword / phrase you are targeting.

And like it has been mentioned before it can take months to get a top ranking. But if you use social media 2.0 sites, especially video, you could get ranked in hours.

All the best to you and be persistent
