How long ago did you do this? If it was very recent then you might just need to wait some time for them to show. Also, make sure you are using the proper Backlink checking resource. Google tends to be light on the links when checking with them for whatever reason.
It depends when posted the links. Directories pages might be long to index if they are. Most directories that I have seen do not seem to get their pages indexed. Google may re-visit sites every 2 weeks or month. If you look for links in Google, you may not see all links. Use Yahoo! instead to see all links.
Google tooks up to several days within each update. (actually, if you've a pageranked site it tooks only several hours until googlebot crawl your site and update your backlink list). I do recommend using SEOQuake to check your backlinks
it takes time for google and yahoo to show the backlinks. google might take as long as months to update the backlinks. besides, to see some backlinks, you will need to build lot more backlinks than just 20. just keep building links and you will see your backlinks increasing over time.
very true. I remember a few years back (just after google tried the ill-fated "live indexing" build) that I was trying just to get a site INDEXED. And it took about 6 months. Thank God thinks aren't like THAT anymore! Keep at it, and it will get some links showing. Also, try looking for them in Yahoo, Google doesn't show low PR links, as far as I remember...
Google shows only like 3-4% of the total backlinks + it updates once 3-4 months Try searching on yahoo they display like the most of the backlinks
