@JR,

IMO

Sometimes, backlink checker tool can’t really give the true results. They can just give the average or those easy to detect links.

Trusted sites like ezinearticles mostly blocked softwares like this in crawling their sites for some purposes.

That is maybe the reason why.

Article marketing (for link building) is always a good source of incoming backlinks. Needless to say the traffic it may bring (if the article you have is really a worth to read about). Thanks for the insights!

@lim seng
Most likely the Tool is just not picking up the link, First, check the Google index to see if it’s there, just Google the article title like this “title of article” or even better allintitle:”title of article” and see if it’s in the index. Also, check your backlinks in Yahoo Site Explorer and Google Webmaster Tools under links, most likely they will be there and counted.

Also, depending on when the articles were published and approved, it does take time for G to index them and crawl the backlinks.

It is more likely that the tool is just not picking up the links, but are you talking about the famous ezinearticles.com or Ezine@Articles?

That depends on the article directory, some take up to a week and some just a couple of days, and some even instantly.

Good tips. I never thought about using deep links in the resource box before.

First, I apologize for not seeing your response. Here are a couple of techniques I have used with success: 1. I often use submityourarticle.con for article syndication, which has a feature that allows you to designate the original article source as any URL (not sure how they do it), which typically works in keeping my site as the top SERP. 2. I usually source an original article to my sites several weeks before any syndication to article directories. This again pretty consistently lets me surge to the top. 3. Always, do some level of link building on the original article (social bookmarking, Twitter, or just crosslinking with another one of your sites.

JR is right Google supposedly will “detect” the original source–I think that is where the time gap helps me. He may also be correct if you are using a new or thin site the directories may take you out–most of the ones I use are pretty strong. But, I have had success on relatively new blogs for clients too.

Bottom line Google is always a bit mystical and I always suggest doing rewrites or using something like Article Leverage to tweak, avoiding the the duplicate content.

Hope that helps–I will try to pay closer attention to the comments. I reade you in RSS reader, so I miss comments sometimes, but I never miss a post!
