Oh boy... This is interesting! Never talked to anyone on "this side" before :) Okay, if you reeeeeaaaaalllly want to learn what's going on. Copy and paste some of the sentences you are writing for people into Google. You will immediately find your articles. Analyze how those sites are monetizing. Remember those keywords you centered the article around? Type those keywords into Google. Did you just find that same site? How many Google result pages did you have to click through until you found it. Watch that site in the listings for a few weeks. Is it getting closer and closer to the first page? If not, dig around until you find one of your articles on a site that is for it's main keyword. Go to yahoo.com - in the search box type in 'linkdomain:example.com' (no quotes and replace example.com with that domain). How many backlinks does it have? Next week, when you search for that keyword again, did the site move up in the rankings? If so, then go back to yahoo and see if the backlink count increased. Did it? It definitly should have if it moved quick enough in the Google search results. Look at all of the sites that are linking to your articles site. How did that webmaster get those links? I think I quickly spelled out the complete overview here. The only thing I left out was finding choice keywords to target. That's an art. No ones going to give you anything except general knowledge, otherwise they would be hiring a guy offshore to write articles centered around a keyword ;)
