ok. so I recently ventured into trying to rank for certain keywords. In this process, I found out the number of links I had to beat. First step right? Now, I went around and did some Web. 2.0 articles with the anchor text for those keywords linking back to my money site. I also did some article marketing, and some blog commenting with the anchor text in the comment area.

I go and check my stats and I see only one of them has been found(did around 20), I do not know why the others are not being picked up yet. Is it because some of the article directories haven't been indexed yet? Is there some other way to find out how long it will take? Can I do something extra to make sure they get indexed? I also bookmarked these Web 2.0 posts.

Or am I just being impatient? How long should it take?

thanks for any help
Melanie
