I have managed to finally get some back links to my site as well as doing some blogging and submitting articles. Despite all this, Google still does not recognize any back links to my site. Does anyone know why this is????

Also, when i designed my first site (www.acejackonline.com), i really was new to web site design and really didn't set up the site properly (as you can probably tell if you checked it out). I have a new URL that actually contains the key word that I am trying to attract and want to start to build a new site. Can anyone recommend any decent SEO resources to help so that I do not have to rely on Adwords. Also, if anyone has any ideas on how to make my current site less sucky and perhaps a PR higher than 0 please let me know.

Thank you

There is hardly any content on your main site. I would build that up quick.

A few sites you may want to read up on for basics is

seomoz - bookmark this page it will come in handy more than a few times

You can try seochat but I find they can be just as confusing and contradicting as it can be helpful..definatly look at the first one I gave you.

Thank you for the help. I am working on the content, albeit slowly. Thank you very much for the seomoz link.

Any ideas on why back links are not showing up and how I can change that?

Thanks for the help

Use the yahoo link command instead to see your inbound links. Google knows they are there but doesn't show you them with the link command on a live basis.

Here are your links.

Great, that was a help. nice to know that something is linking back. Not everything is recognized but at least it recognizes more than google. Thanks for the link!

While trying to figure out how to get a PR of at least 1, I found these sites that may be useful for others struggling with the same thing:

highrankings.com/forum
searchenginewatch.com
webmasterworld.com
seomoz.org

I also found out that the backlistings that I have may be hurting me more than helping me. Anyways, that is it.

I found out that backlinks that have a PR 3 or lower will not show up on the google backlink search.

Backlinks are fine, but honestly this is for every newbie... stop trying to find the holy grail... simply write great, unique content each day and trust me... overtime you'll be ok. Backlinks will come, traffic will come and eventually the money will come.

Absolutely! And yes, google backlinks are only generated when the linking page is PR 4 or higher.

It takes time to get your PR up, and good original content is the only way to make it happen and make it sunstainable. You'd be suprised at the ammount of non sollicited back links a good quality site can generate.
