We all of try to get backlinks, but after getting backlinks to our site what is the time period upto that search engine consider it as backlink to our site? And after a certain time period why search engine not consider it as backlink?
Age does not play a role.. They are considered backlinks when search engines index them (find them and put them in their index). If they are not found then they wont count to your backlink count.. As for your second question, as long as link back to your site is there it is considered a backlink.. Again, time plays no role in this.
It depends you may put your link on a site that does not have good hosting for example so when google goes back they cannot access the site so they deduct the link, other people post on the site (well hosted) and this pushes your link to archive.
Hi there, Well it depends what we're talking about : when a backlink is found, google defines a time stamp for it, and the backlink is immediately added to its "links database", but it doesn't mean it will effect your rankings right away, because there's a lot of other parameters to take into account, like the quality of the link, if it's part of a monstrous link campaign (spam) or not, if your rate of new backlinks is abnormal or not, etc. So it can take a while to see the effects of a linkbuilding campaign, but it doesn't mean the link wasn't taken into account. If your asking "is there an expiration date to a backlink ?", then I would agree with dejanlesi : time plays no role, in the sense that the link will not expire and be excluded without reason (provided it doesn't disappear of course ). Otherwise I think time does play an important role in some specific situations, like for a blog or a news site. For them (especially for news sites), the fresher a backlink, the more the pointed site is valued, because it means it has a fresh and pertinent content. But of course it's not that simple, if there's a new backlink to an old an deprecated website, then the age of the page and the rate of backlinks and the rate of content update will play a part to value or devalue said backlink.
Age is not important at all....as long as backlink is there......it works as vote....whenever search engines crawl it....it becomes your vote till presence
Doesn't "how long a link is there" equal to the actual age of the link? --- I have do-follow backlinks pointed to my sites from different ones and they stay there for years. Even that these link are not listed as backlinks. I think it depends on the PR, as well as how much relative is the site to yours. I have like 90+ links from different websites but the only listed are these on sites related to Free tutorials submit
Would be agreeing with what you quoted, if your backlinks are indexed by the google bot than surely age isn't a factor that should count....
