My website is about a week old. I know I have backlinks, but when I do "link:fearthebots.com", nothing shows up. How long until google starts seeing them?
well, that depends on how often google crawls the site on which your backlinks are located , and that depends on their own backlinks, PR and millions of other variables
Give it another week and try the yahoo site explorer, I don't think there's a fixed number of days for them to show
i guess most of the backlink checkign sites rely on yahoo siteexplorer ... so u better use siteexplorer for much!
I takes atleast 30 days for backlinks to show up in case of Google. for Yahoo it takes 15 days to index links to your site. Patience my friend is the virtue.
start blogging, write a post about your topic or better yet use one of your articles and post it as a blog entry, then make a title backlink all d best! use digg.com
I think my site have more than 50 backlinks. But when I check in google ,it said only 6 .. You See ..
First When you have got backlinks, nothing (except for human visitors) happens until search engines such as google or yahoo bots have visited the linking pages. It may take a few hours to a few days or weeks depending on the importance of the linking pages. Second You have to use the right tool. The link:url in google search shows only a very limited amount of your real backlinks; furthermore it is updated only 3 to 6 times a year. Therefore, check with yahoo explorer. Since you are looking for backlinks of your own site, you may also check it with your google webmaster account. If you do not have such an account, subscribe, it is free.
link:yoursite.com is not/will not show all the backlinks you have, By the time it will display only some of the linking pages... but again, not all of them
It really depends on so many factors, so my advice to get a Google account and sign in to Google Webmasters Tools then verify your website and wait for the backlinks to gets updated and shows up As advised above, you can always refer to Yahoo Site Explorer for a quick view of your website backlinks.. But it will show you 1,000 links ONLY at any given time
Your links sometimes takes months to show up. The yahoo linkdomain is good but not 100% accurate either. I have built over 1000 backlinks some f my sights and only 200+ show up Yahoo....so I don't worry. My suggestion? Don't worry about the little stuff so much, just spend your time building more and more backlinks from high PR sites. Eventually Google will notice.
Still doesn't show in google. But I guess what matters is that my site has moved from not listed... to 60ish... to 13th placement in 12 days. I think the .gov and .edu backlinks are pretty much golden. After they linked to my site my placement shot up overnight.
