How long it takes until google start showing your links back to your site. I have submitted to hundreds of directories I have also links back from another web sites. In google search for my domain I have more than hundred sites that contain words of my domain and there are mostly all links but those sites are not shown as sites that link to my site. Anyone know why? Is there anything that I can do to change that?
For checking backlinks use yahoo. Google takes few months + it will show less number of backlinks than Yahoo.
Google will probably show some of the backlinks in their next backlink update. Recently they had an update threfore, it may take another 2-3 months before another update. Google never shows all the submitted links as backlinks. Try to get links from well established sites and directories. It should help! MSN & Yahoo are way ahead of Google when showing backlinks. Keep your fingers crossed for any luck with Google!
