I have a website that has been out since November of last year. I have submitted 6-7 article (5 have been through article distribution services). I have many hundreds and maybe over a thousand links to my website… but… when I do a link search at yahoo (link:mywebsite.com… I only have maybe 20 links going back to the site from the article pages.
How long does it take for backlinks to be indexed? Could I still be caught in the mythological sandbox? Or could I have gotten penalized for getting too many links back to fast?
