How long for links/backlinks to show up?

I have a new site with about 100 pages, and 50odd backlinks created over the
last three-four weeks... how long before these show up using "link:" in
Google?

Also... Google mentions all my pages in it's index, but only recognises a
link to the main page on 8 of them. No ommited results.

Regards
Steven

Whenever...there's no guarantee they ever will. Google lies. This
isn't me messing about, it's true. They likely aren't being counted
yet and won't be for a while. Don't go getting too many too fast, it
looks artificial because it is and Googs won't like that. How'd you
get them?

When you say it only recognises the link on 8 pages, what do you mean
exactly please?

Maybe never. Google shows just a little subset of actual links.

Yup, see above. Use link and linkdomain with search.yahoo.com

I looked for relevant pages in Google itself, also looking to which pages my
'competition' links... then I mailed I asked for a link... that's why it
took a while to collect these links.

Also... Google mentions all my pages in it's index, but only recognises a
link to the main page on 8 of them. No ommited results.

If my site has 100 pages, and each page refers to the main page, only 8
pages out of those 100 show up as having a link (internal) to the main page.

Thanks for your reply.

Steven

Thanks John,

Wether they show up or not should be irrelevant then. But do these
'invisible' links still add to build credit within Google?

Classic. As John wrote - Google displays only some subset of links.
It probably 'knows' about much more.

Information about number of BLs (back links, also called IBL -
inbound links) reported is updated once per 2 to 7 weeks; last update
was about 3 weeks ago. Nobody but the Google almighty knows when the
next BL update will take place.

Best,
Borek

Of course. Just because Google doesn't show them doesn't mean that they are
not counted.

I don't think 50 links in 3 to 4 weeks will be looked at strangely as that
is about how long it will take to gain them slowly and not buy them. But it
will be a gradual change upward depending on how many links he need to move
up and how those links are with anchor text and all. Plus other factors.
Like did the site become new last month?

It's a detail, but it helps to know ;-)

Yes.

Google for some reason only shows a subset. In the past there was a time
that only backlinks with a PR of 4 or higher were shown. How it currently
works, I don't know.
