I'm kind of curious ... what makes you think the links are not being followed, or picked up by Google or Yahoo? I'd suggest looking into what nofollow does on WordPress blogs, and how it's treated by search engines. (It doesn't really mean that they don't follow the link; they just don't treat it as a regular link.) The nofollow thing was for links in comments, not in the body of posts.

The site is in 3.1.2 but I can't tell whether it is forcing no-follow or not? Here is the site <snip> I don't understand why my outlinks from this site are not being followed ?

I'm not saying that it was or was not funny; I'm just saying that if you want people to link to your stuff, you have to provide stuff they'd want to link to. Okay.

And I have tried hubpages, but I don't like them as much so far. Those definitely seem to result in very fast indexing compared to other things. It is just one tool, not the end all be all. Maybe no one will find it helpful. Yea, I also made a squidoo page or two to promote also. And I have tried hubpages, but I don't like them as much so far.

There are also directories that you can submit to. Many nowadays are pay-per-submission, so you've got to have something worth listing (well, that was always true for the better directories, but when you have to pay, there's no sense in wasting money). Directories like DMOZ.org, Yahoo, BestOfTheWeb, etc. DMOZ of course is free, but not so easy or fast to get into.

Hopefully when telling someone about your website they digg it or stumble it or whatever, but you gotta tell someone about your site to get people going to it and linking to it right?
