Backlink updates

I just had a question, does Google run backlink updates regularly (likes its cache and indexing) or does it do it preiodically (like the PR updates)

I just noticed, via Google alerts, that my site got a couple of backlinks so i was just curious

Thanks

 

One post, one view, and this thread has a five star rating?

This thread?

Anyway, the answer is that it does backlink updates irregularly.

 

Well... I think.. update can be seen only when Google change no. or backlinks (We all call it BL update) We check it with link: command. But, it keeps on updating BL in backend.. thats, why ranking... keeps on changing daily.. Because.. a website can have different no. of BL in different Data Centers.

Thanks

 

i think G does updates backlinks regularly.

 

What does it matter, as the display is completely worthless.

 

yep thats right, google only shows random results of your true number of backlinks..anyway G! update backlinks quarterly. The same as PR update
