a lot of review sites - well, most of them - don't link to your site using your link or your domain. the link on their site is usually a tracking link using their own domain. does that help much when it comes to inbound links? we have over 150 affilaites linked to man of muscle, yet alexa says we have only 1 inbound.
Hey Basschick,

You know, I didn't think of that when I was sending the post. True, if the link isn't to you, but rather via their internal tracking system, it won't give you the backlink! Good catch, and thanks for pointing that out!

Still, the traffic is good enough to warrant the time it takes! (as long as you are getting good reviews...)
