High guys I've been trying to figure this out and I thourhg I might pick your brains. When you get new links to your website. How long do you think it take for them to be taken into conideration in the ranking alogorithm?
lol..you'll get alot of answers on this one. I feel it takes a couple of weeks (normally), but it depends on how juicy the link is.
2-3 weeks I think, but sometimes you need to wait until 3 months to take effect to your ranking. That's just my own experiences.
You will get the benefit of your new link immediately after your link is cached by the search engine spider. It is exactly similar as when you will make any changes on your site you will analyze the effect of that change when it will cached by Google.
Depends how often the page you get the link on is indexed by the search engine spider. Things like a page's sitemap will effect how often a spider crawls a page.
There is no right answer to this, there are so many variables to take into consideration. patience is the hardest aspect of SEO
It is kind of crazy what I read as responses on this thread. If you don't know something why not click next post and don't comment? Some people even dare to say 1-2 months!!!!!!! That is outrageous. I am saying this and i have never been more confident in anything before: Your links are taken into account once the search engines finds them. I mean the very second. I can say this, once the search engines locate your link, it takes less than one second for them to count them and affect your ranking! Well i agree maybe i am hyping here, but it is due to the wrong responses i read on this.
It depends on the authorit of the website linking to you. I have found that when getting high PR backlinks from social bookmarking and high PR blogs they register in hours. Getting backlinks from low PR sites such as directories can take weeks to months. It just depends on how often Google crawls the site linking to you.
From my experience I would say 2-4 weeks generally speaking, but the folks that said a longer time above could be partially right because if a site that links to yours increases in authority you will notice a more pronounced effect on your own SERP over time. On the other hand you might have a link from a nice site then the site goes downhill or is hacked, sold or changed over to another topic and becomes unrelated. Bottom line is lots of things can effect when and by how much a backlink can effect your site.
yes, we can not sure about it. let say I got a good link back from a high pr website. one day after that, google re-calculate all the website rank and my rank is increased in 1 day. just an advice, about page rank, keep do getting link back to your site with passion and simultant. for rank in search result, always make an experiment with your meta title, keywords and description of your page. keep monitor your position in the search result for a specific keyword after changing the meta
The answers have been leading toward 2-4 weeks and I can say that from my experience and depending upon who links to you 2-4 weeks sounds about right for my websites as well. Funny, I never really looked to see how long exactly it has taken...
I don't think the 1-2 month would be that crazy. I've monitored links for a long while and their seems to be an immediate impact, but then later on their seems to be a second movement, like the PR is recalulated or something. Totally agree with you media.
there is definitely some kind of age dampening filter on them. with a good one, you see the effects immediately it caches, it'll usually jump immediately, drop back, then climb slowly over a period of weeks again to slightly higher than it originally jumped to (usually) they usually seem to be at full power at about 10-12 weeks ish
