Hi Guys, How much time it takes for google to update your backlinks, i want how good i did last month on link building. On google webmaster tools i have a number of backlinks which are for month july, and on yahoo some of them but maybe 25%. Does it takes a few months to get your backlinks updates, or a month ? Thanks
Backlinks are picked up as and when Googlebot visits a page, but the display Information on Google webmaster tools is updated about once a month.
Wow this helped, thanks for this, i didnt know this either. I thought the links were not working or something, few months.. Wow long time
If the page you are on gets indexed/updated the link counts. High PR sites seem to get spidered more often (and thats the only value they have IMHO). Google deliberately fudges their back link count and for the same reason they devalued PR. Rather watch your serps. I submit to the free directory lists and I generally have to wait two weeks before they start showing any signs of life. Some link checkers work better than others but its a hit and miss job at best. Rather submit and forget. Links are high volume, low value You dont have time to waste checking everyone.
well on some(not sure), it takes a month or so on yahoo too or something, i noticed, ill get back on this, when ill get more info Thanks
It is more possible that stronger links (with more PR) are indexed faster than low pr, so it's different for particular linking pages.
They are updated from time to time generally with or before the pr update you can see the historical data on : http://www.seocompany.ca/pagerank/page-rank-update-list.html (They missed the last backlink update)
for backlinks check yahoo site comand if there is not a backlink on there after 1-2 weeks by the time you get it live then there is not a good link!
If you search Google it may only show a few of the backlinks that it knows about, but in Googles webmasters accounts it will show many more. If you check my site in Google it says I have 80 backlinks, in Google webmaster tools it says 4000+ and if I check Yahoo it shows 16000+ One annoying thing is that a competing site has 800 backlinks in google, but the majority of them are from it's own domain
If by stronger you really mean spidered more often you are right. But dont be in too much of a hurry. Every link is a good link after it has been spidered. I generally work on a month between visits but so what if its in the supplemental index and it only gets looked at every three months. What you want to worry about is placing your links on pages that are going to last and if there is any substance to the belief that one link is stronger than another, where it is going to grow from strength to strength. The biggest mistake you can make in this game is to think out of the box and relate everything you do to this immediate point in time
I always use yahoo for that yahoo better than and very fast but google not count all links cuz if u check yahoo may u c 160K and when u go to google just c 160 ! google use another methode which different about yahoo to count backlinks
a neat tool I found (though I don't know how accurate it is)... http://www.iwebtool.com/backlink_checker
