Hi I submitted articles for two of my blogs a while ago. Most of my efforts went into Ezine, because I was under the impression this is the major one. However, to try it out, I did submit two to another(Articlebase) This was a while ago, and when i do a Backlinkcheck on my sites I do not see the articlebase listed as a link. Ezine is. Any help?
it takes sometime to show up the links on your backlink search. Also check yourself that whether your links are accepted onto articlebase or not?. Sometimes submitting same content to different article websites is not accepted if they find you doing so
You do not need to worry about not seeing your links. There is no tool that would show you the real number of backlinks that your site has. Google, Yahoo and all the rest, they show just a very little part of what they really count. Put your time in building the links instead of counting them
Hi, I checked and the links were live, they were accepted. It might be that the site I am using is not catching every backlink. i used one of the first sites I got off Google when I typed in back link checked.
You guys should take a look in this thread: http://www.netbuilders.org/article-marketing/ezinearticles-going-nofollow-24206.html It will help a lot, it's basicly Google that gives less weight to Ezinearticles in the future etc. Good read, really
Article Marketing is low value although Ezinearticles is one of the best of the bunch, I rarely bother unless I see the links in competitors link profiles.
I had great success checking my back links using the SEO Tool for Firefox. It's basically Yahoo site explorer, without having to log in to your site explorer. Again not all back links will show up immediately; maybe ping the article page to let the search engines know you have new content.
A good way to check backlinks to your site, that Google is aware of, is by using the tools that Google gives you. https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ Sign up for a Google account if you don't have one already. Just follow the steps to add your site to Webmaster Tools, select your site, then find the "Links to your site" section within the Dashboard. It provides a breakdown of sites linking to you and includes the specific pages being linked to in the expanded view for a link source.
I've submitted articles to both EzineArticles and ArticlesBase. I've had better luck with EzineArticles. EzineArticles is a clear leader. Also look into Buzzle; I've found that Buzzle performs similarly well to EzineArticles, better than ArticlesBase. Also, keep in mind that ArticlesBase only has nofollow links. If you want more of my opinion you can read my reviews of article directories. There, I explain more about what I've found works, and why. =)
Just because your link to articlebase.com doesn't show when you check your backlinks, it doesn't mean that articlebase.com is not valuable. Maybe your article on articlebase.com is not indexed yet that's why it wasn't shown when you check your backlinks.
if you use both you get a good mix of do and nofollow. If you have been building links that are dofollow and google changes its algo to include nofollow and you have none - where does that leave you...
Do it without waiting for getting it listed and counted. It would happen one time or other. Never spend more time on article once or twice a week in different directories would be better . Better do more forum postings, blog commenting. that would help you more.
