Recently, I started submitting my sites' urls to directories - page by page, since the site's pages have different content and metatags. I should have quite a high number of external links by now to both sites. I have statcounters on both my sites and also on my blog. However, my traffic has been stable and low. I have also built a third site, which I monitor through statcounter, and I notice that none of them actually responds to an increase in external links. When I use Alexa or any other tool to access the number of external links to my site, they record none. How is that possible?
Last week I realized there was a big problem with my metatags in the qualiresearch site - the name of the company was misspelled. I corrected that about a week ago - nothing happened to my logs. My ranking is still exceptionally low.
But what I really cannot understand is the following fact: the "Merton research consultancy" site was innitially hosted at www.dabliw7.com.br . It was "Merton W7" at the time. Then I created (with the same design, same metatags) "Merton MZM", located at www.qualiresearch.com . I inserted links at the original pages, pointing to www.qualiresearch.com . Nonetheless, only the original www.dabliw7.com.br page ranks relatively high in Google on the relevant keywords. How is this possible?

Thank you,

How long ago did you make the switch?

The switch from www.dabliw7.com.br to www.qualiresearch.com was many months ago - let's say, July or August. But the correction I mentioned, this I did about 10 days ago.

But what about all the incoming links that I know all the sites have, and don't show up? And never improve my traffic?

thanks

I still can't identify backlinks with available resources, but the ranking is improving in qualiresearch...
