These are the things that i have seen that worked for me.They have increase my search engine ranking
backlink to my site
submitting articles
posting comments
It's great to see things that are working for you, just need to understand something where are you back linking your websites. Secondly you have talked of submitting articles, to where? assuming you were assisting a newbie here at hubapges and you wanted the person to understand your second point, thirdly posting comments - are posting comments on your own hubs or other hubbers hubs or you are posting comments on blogs other than hubs.
you should use these kind of posting in seo forums.
Passing judgement on others is not a pretty or popular practice authors on HubPages are from different parts of the world and not everybody is online @ snap of your fingers
not to mention this forum may have already been or in progress already and exist elsewhere.
3 weeks, 7 hubs, and a hubscore of 80..not bad 20 not bad at all. gotta ask...are you wrapped up in a blanket?
hmmm maybe I'm thinking about bed and getting all wrapped in my blankie
yes it is very cold here in atlanta.I need to turn the a/c up a few degrees
backlinking to your own personal website(promoting) helps but, backlinking to others doesnt help YOUR traffic. Your traffic is only increased if that website backlinks you in return, driving a little extra traffic to your site or Hub. To get backlinks you either need to network with the ADMIN of the site in cooperation or just get lucky and hope they backlink to your hub or site by noticing that you linked to them. Or another possible way is for an admin( using Technorati , etc,) to see that you've produced a well written article that corressponds to what they are promoting on their site and getting lucky that they backlinked you! Networking by using Technorati tp pick relevant web sites and contacting those WEbadminisstrators and asking for mutual backlinks is the only good way of manually getting backlinks. Posting backlinks to others without reciprocation only gives you better page ranks for search engines (which is good)but will not get you extra referring traffic without reciprocal backlink networking... better search engine traffic but less referring traffic if they do not reciprocate. P.s backlinking makes page rank go up only if its relevant/related content. If the google parsers( bot crawlers) see no relevance in the backlink your page rank may go down, so only backlink using relevant links
ME122, I think you may be confused about the word backlink. A backlink is a link FROM another site TO your site. If you have a link on your site out TO someone else's site, that's just a link, not a backlink.
There's some evidence that Google likes it if you have some links out TO other authority sites, but that's not nearly as important as backlinks FROM other sites.
If Google sees other sites linking to yours, they see that as an indicator of quality. However, they've got wise to the idea of reciprocal linking, and won't give you the credit if they can see you've just exchanged links.
So what you really want are one-way links, where other sites lin to you, but you don't have to link back. If you both have multiple sites, you can be clever and link in such a way that there are no reciprocal links.
I do link exchanges with appropriate sites all of the time for my own sites. If they are similar to mine and the link makes sense, I think it does help rankings. But I would never do an exchange with a link farm. Then I do think that Google would penalize my site.

First of, I don't really know what I'm talking about, or to be more specific, I don't know the name of what I am talking about.But thanks to a few hubbers on here, I have taken to backlinking the easy way. You backlink a hub to...for example...shetoldme...or blurbalicious...one of them anyway.Then...

I continually see two types of groups on the forums/HP. They are the following:1. If you backlink in social bookmarking sites and spend lots of time going over your hub, working hard at getting them out there, you'll make money.2. If you leave a hub alone for a while, even without a lot of work,...

IzzyM and I have been chatting about backlinking, and disagreeing on what's the best way to go about it. She's been spending hours backlinking her Hubs on social bookmarking and backlinking sites, because she feels that's been recommended on the forums by Hub gurus. I'm not at all sure that's...

I just wondered if anyone backlinked their backlinks, like putting Shetoldme links on Reddit for example. I'm seriously running outta ideas of how to get traffic.

So far I've mostly been relying on writing good content and trusting people to find it, but after a spike this summer, my traffic here at HP has collapsed to some rather depressing levels, considering the number of hubs I have, and I've been thinking maybe it's time to start putting more effort...
