Can you find the backlinks of articles you backlinked to?

    At ezinearticles and goarticles

    If you're like and you can't (ANY article for that matter) isn't it worthless to BACKLINK to them now?

    Com'n guys this is the backlinking forum.

    The technique of locating an ezinearticle that's ranking, determining the keyword, and little or no backlinks is being sold on another VERY popular forum. Then publishing an article on the same domain (ezinearticles.com) and throw a few backlinks at and you should be able to outrank it.

    Numerous articles were written about backlinking your articles.

    Maybe next time maybe I'll just keep it to myself that backlinking has changed for the article directories.

    What do you guys think?

    If you got a decent enough article to start with,then it wont be deleted and you can track your links. Perhaps you are spinning your articles so bad that it spun out of the directory

    Who said anything about deleted articles.

    The question is: Can you find ANY article on ezinearticles that has a backlink TO THE ARTICLE itself? (not a link FROM the article to my website)

    IF you've bothered building the backlinks to them :)

    Thanks

    There are so many articles and some not even get indexed, I see it as a bad way to promote anything, seriously wasting $$ or time on writing content for other domain, instead of doing that content on your domain. And yea if you publish an article make it a long one and make links to it as well.....

    Yeah I agree that you want to build your own domain instead of linking to ezinearticles. But there is a technique that's being sold that showed an easy way to find ezinearticles articles that were ranked and outrank them. Part of it was to publish an article on the same domain.

    And it also worked when I wanted to test out a niche. Basically I was writing articles and building backlinks and if the niche flopped it was all for nothing. But if I built backlinks to the article I could easily just change the resource box to another domain. Then if it was successful I could build the links to the domain instead. And use the resource box in the article to test a new domain without having to write another article, wait a few months for it to age, start backlinking to it and wait for the links to get indexed, etc. I could just redirect the old article and links to a new domain.

    But yeah I agree in the long run the articles and backlinks should be pointing to your domain.

    Thanks

    yeah you can find the backlinks. Things is, it takes time for backlinks to show up in a tool such as a backlink checker.

    Have you tried checking the backlinks of articles in the "Most Viewed" section. Articles that used to have thousands of links and PR now has none. Pages that are years old and had links pointing to them now have none. These changes just took place in the last month or so. Like I said ANY article, even the older ones.

    Do you see any articles with backlinks? Do you have a URL?

    Thanks

    I'm not sure I follow this, but I have articles that are indexed fairly well for my keywords. There are backlinks to the article and to my site.

    How old is the article? And what is the URL? Did you do anything special to get the backlinks TO YOUR ARTICLE on ezinearticles or goarticles indexed? Is there more than one?

    I've thrown a bunch of backlinks at some of my articles over the past few months, and a bunch more over the past few weeks and none of them show up :(

    Thanks

    Yes, use SEOmoz's LinkScape tool. Download their toolbar at SEOmoz.

    You're right. Thanks for the link.

    Does it still affect your SEO? I'm just wondering because it doesn't display in SEOQuake (Yahoo), and articles that used to have thousands of links now are only showing 100+

    Thanks
