I own and run http://www.nysportsboard.com - it's just a php forum and nothing else - aimed at discussion about NY area sports teams. I have the mod_rewrite hack installed to make the board more spider friendly.Some questions...After the latest backlink update, I noticed only 2 to my site: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=& ... sboard.comA link from my profile on the Ny Giants.com message board, and from a thread from another sports message board called sportsforums.net.So even when they do the backlink update, it may only pick up some of the links? Why did the link from the sportsforum pick up but none of my other threads there? I have the link as my signature on lultiple sites, and have posted it in discussions on numerous other boards. I also have direct text links set up at several other sites. Why did only these particular 2 backlinks register?When I just search for Google for "nysportsboard" I get posts from Ozzu and other message boards with my sig or where I have mentioned the site. But it doesn't come back with all of the mentions out there - any idea why? Also - how do the backlinks work? Does the actual text "NY Sports Board" or something work is it the actual <a href> to my site? If I had a jpg for example somewhere with no text but a link to the site, would that work? So what else can I do to get noticed? We are starting to gain some regular contributors which is good. it's kind of a dead time of year for sporrts talk until March Madness and the NFL draft before the start of the baseball season. But I wanted to do all I can to ensure good rankings when Google updates everything again.I ask a lot of questions. Thanks for your insight.A couple of things I forgot to mention when we were talking earlier. Prior to the last backlink update, you were showing zero backlinks and had a PR 0I suspect Google is just starting to really find and get your site indexed and ranked. Things should start to improve for you after the next PR update and you get some PR to your site.As for the rest of your questions, I'm as interested in the answers as you are.Lots of questions ...
