How long does it take for google to show backlinks?

    After a two year webmasters vacation I came back. My new sites are going on a month and google is still showing no backlinks, while Yahoo is showing 600.

    Can anybody explain to me what is going on?

    Because I do not remember it taking this long for google to do this.

    Google is notoriously slow at showing back links. In addition, they don't show everything they have. Yahoo is where you should look if you really want to know what links you have.

    Google only show 'real' backlink thru their webmaster tools. Any google link checker won't show the 'real' number because I think that google don't want to show your backlink for public eyes.
