Ok, I may just be impatient, but I submitted some articles to ezinearticles.com and isnare.com about two weeks ago and I'm wondering how long until I can expect to see Google reporting the links generated by these articles as backlinks. I have to imagine that these sites get crawled pretty frequently, but is there anything I could do to possibly help the process along? Thanks.
Sometimes it can take months to get indexed, the more links you have to your site the better the chance of being indexed. Patients is the key
3 months for backlinks to get noticed!!! No wonder I haven't got any showing up yet! Although I guess in 3 months time I'll be looking pretty good!
It really depends on the PageRank of the page with the links on it, the higher the PageRank the more frequently it is googlebotted, hence the quicker any sites listed there get indexed.
Thanks for the responses, it sounds like two weeks really isn't long enough to expect the links to start showing up. I keep telling myself "slow and steady" but sometimes it's hard to remain patient.
You could likely speed things along. Socially bookmark the articles You could also do things like stumble and digg exchanges for them. That should keep your site from getting banned (though maybe not your account) from the social sites but still help your page along...as the better ranked the backlinks, the better ranked the site You should add them all to Del.icio.us though from your own account. That is a fantastic way to keep track of all the places you submitted.
This was the exact question I'd been planning to ask. Haven't seen my backlinks shown up for at least a week now.
If you are talking about all the links which you are creating, than you should wait for couple of years.
It takes VERY long for Google to notice your backlinks. 3 months sounds about right. I wish they'd update more than that, but it is only done as a service and promotional tool. I hear it doesn't really affect the SERPs too much. However, to get indexed, that could take an hour depending on where you post you link. If you post it on Squidoo or BlogSpot, it's very quick.
