how long does links take to show up on backlink searches and pr ratting? i thought as soon is i submit it should show... help anyone
Google updates both the PageRank and its backlinks only a couple of times a year so sit tight and give that refresh button some rest You should also know that Google only shows a small fraction of the links pointing to your site. You can have a look at Yahoo Explorer to see more but even they don't show everything. Having said, this DOES NOT mean that your backlinks wouldn't be effective before the PR/backlink update takes place. The link juice starts flowing almost immediately and given that you've done some effective link building, you should see a rise in SERPs pretty soon. P.S. Forget about PageRank - there's only very few areas where PageRank actually matters (mainly site flipping and link sales) and odds are that you're not in any of those.
it may take 1-2 months for google to start showing your backlinks. regarding PR, google usually update PR every 3-4 months or so
Goto yahoo site explorer to check your backlinks..most are shown with a few days there..Google can take much longer ..or not even show it
