I just started Article marketing the 1st of this month and am actually seeing results already. I have yet to syndicate any of my articles yet and am submitting 10 unique articles to 10 high pr sites a day. I plan on adding submission software at the end of the month.

I'm with Jim, just started doing articles myself (have submitted 2 this week with 2 getting accepted and published). Can see the long term benifit of it, but takes quite a bit of time - guess all we can do it do as much as we can and hope its enough!

Chris,

When I checked with several backlink checkers most of the links that you have are from this forum. You have quite a few of them here. The good thing about this site is that they reward you for posting here by killing the "no follow" command. I have a ton of links, but most of them are no follow. Google is only counting 4 of them.

So, whenever you post to a blog or a forum, check the link using this tool: backlink watch http://www.backlinkwatch.com/index.php it will show you which links are "no follow" so you won't post there any more.

God Bless,

backlinkwatch is notorious for labeling 'no follow' on links which are dofollow and vice versa. Besides, having only dofollow links would not seem very organic. A more accurate tool would be seoquake's nodofollow plugin for firefox.

Thanks for the plug in I did not have this tool and I am really enjoying it and can see the value in it.

Very nice, thanks for the info & link - will have to give it a shot.

Wow, Thanks so much I'm going to install it now.

God Bless, my friend!

Quirk Search Status is a plugin for firefox that allows you to see page rank, alexa, and you can also use it to display "no follow" links... very useful and doesn't clutter up any space on your screen.

Pretty high goals - good luck with getting those articles submitted! Do you have these pre-written, paying someone to write these for you, or are you writing these articles yourself?

I have a hard time believing that you can increase your pr and create "high quality" back links by simply publishing articles on a website (unless it were like a digg.com)

Article marketing is great. I avoided it for years but done right the traffic is awesome. Remember to always use original content. Syndication is perfectly acceptable but you must have article directory accounts and the tip is to fully fill out all of the profiles with pictures and everything. The best tools for syndication is Traffic Geyser or Article Submitter from Brad Callen. If you are not into syndication, the top directories that google loves and always rank are EzineArticle (always post there first, let the article get approved then syndicate to others) Go Articles,Article Base, Article Alley, and Article Snatch.

Other ways to get backlinks are Web 2.0 properties such as Squidoo, hubpages, wetpaint, blogger, etc. You can link them to each other to form a link wheel as well as link them to your site.

Video creation and syndication is great for links and ranking on google.

Also Social bookmarking, commenting on related blogs and forums. All great backlinks

I've found some informative ways of creating backlinks for free on youtube.

Out of curiosity, how does filling out all of the pictures help you?

So they can be impressed by your pretty face.

Thanks for the helpful response Ben.
