I HAVE WRITTEN 10 DIFFERENT ARTICLES ON HUBPAGES, EACH ARTICLE HAS A BACKLINK TO MY WEBSITE ON THEM... WILL THIS COUNT AS 1 BACKLINK OR DO I GET CREDIT FOR 10 BACKLINKS?
Hi, you are asking "will it count as 1 backlink or as 10?" The answer is both. Technically, you have 10. HOWEVER, since they are all coming from the same domain name and IP address, it will NOT boost your ranking the same way that 10 links from 10 different domains and IP addresses would. So, even though you have 10 links, your ranking results will act more like you have 1. Advice: Diversify your links. Links must be diversified not only in domain names, IP addresses, types of sites (web 2.0, blogs, social, .edu etc, relevant partners, etc), but also with the anchor text.
If the content of all the article is different and posted in different sites then surely it will give you 10 back links..
Anthony, If you submit good articles to hub, people will eventually finds them, read them, and go to your site via the links you put on those articles. If you got targeted visitors to your site who are reading your site's content, this alone is a plus value since Google also measure the time of each visitor that coming to the site. The longer they are in your site, the better because by then, Google knows that your site giving "VALUE" to its visitors so they want to browse over it longer than you might expected. Not to mention if your visitor really love your content, they can share it with their friends through social platform like facebook, twitter, or G+. In short, if you can generate high value content for your readers, then in most cases, your content get shared across the web and you will have a boost in ranking for that particular page.
Depending on where the links are pointing to. If ten links are pointing to the same URL, you probably know the answer to your question. Agreed with jmjsolutions, diversity is very important. It's the diversity that Google looks at, they are asking you to create shareable content, the more diversity means wider range of shares.
