Missing Backlinks

I have purchased around a dozen backlinks on PR4 and PR5 websites, however when I search for my backlinks on sites like backlinkwatch.com, they don't show up. Any ideas? My PR is also listed as 0 even though I have written articles and submitted them as well as having lots of "unlisted" backlinks?! Any help or explanations would be greatly appreciated. The link is in my sig. Thanks.

 

SE Indexing takes time how long since your listings were approved?

 

a few weeks

 

I'm missing backlinks for almost a year now, it's around but Google doesn't show it.

 

I have had links for more than 5 months and Google keeps ignoring them. They just started to show up in my webmaster central account but not with a link: search

..

 

Hi, is this tools webuildpages.com is accurate for checking back links?

 

google masks backlinks. i suggest checking yahoo or msn if you want a better list.

Just because they aren't showing, doesn't mean you aren't getting value from the backlinks...

 

backlinks indexing it takes some time ... but continue to build backlinks

 

Check your Google backlinks with webmaster tools.

Thousands of backlinks

 

Google hides links on purpose.

Your PR probably wont be updated for a few months on the toolbar, though the value google uses to calculate SERPS is always up to date, so seeing your site 'jump from PR 0 to 6' won't mean you suddenly rank higher, because google has considered your site a PR 6 (example) for a while, so it is ALREADY reflected in the SERPS.

 

Is there any way to get an up-to-date "unofficial" page rank or something?

 

Nope. All there is is prediction tools, which generally can be off by large amounts.

 

Sorry for posting in your thread, seems pretty pointless just to create a new one.

Can anyone tell me how long it actually takes for google to rank your website? How often does google do a check?

Many thanks,

It takes time to index backlinks but continue searching quality backlinks. Quality backlinks will help for your website link popularity

 

It takes time and there are a lot of factors that google consider before they rank a website...just improve you site with quality and valuable content and at the same time improve your link popularity...use your targeted keywords when linking that might help you for a better position on SERPs for a certain keyword...
