Hi Jimmy!
I don't know exactly what you did in your articles, but did you use keywords that you used for your site?
It's very important to use your sites keywords correctly in the articles you submit. Here are some key places to use them in your article:
Title - Use your main keywords in the title of your article
Top - Also make sure to use your keyword in the first paragraph
Body - Try to sprinkle your keywords throughout the body of your article - don't keyword spam, though!
End- I always try to use the keyword at the VERY END of my article as well. I don't know if this makes any difference, but I read that on your site you should have your keyword at the very bottom right of your page, so I use that theory with articles also.
Author Box - Create a great statement about your business here, along with a link to your site.
Also, submit your articles to GREAT sites that have high page rank such as Ezinearticles and Article Dashboard. I also like GoArticles, Searchwarp and Amazines.
Be patient - it took me about three months to get my home decor site ranked, and I was submitting 3 or 4 articles to about 10 directories every week! Work smart and keep a good attitude - it will work!
I hope this helps!
