When does G, Y or MSN update their BL's? It seems yahoo/msn are faster in collecting your BL's... google still shows me with 20 while msn/y show me 200-300 Is it nightly, weekly, monthly the updates?
MSN is the only one that lists them all - you could still have them in the others, they just don't show up.
Google finds them pretty quick but only shows a snapshot (small % of the links it knows about) G updates the snapshot several times a year, msn shows the links pretty much as soon as they are found.
I would aproximate this way: MSN : 1-2 weeks. Yahoo : 1-2-3 weeks Google : 4-6 weeks. Now ... Yahoo sees the most links ... almoust all the ones that exist. Msn sees less, but still, many of them Google sees the fewest .. About 5-10%.
Google doesn't need 4-6 weeks to find new links and does also not only see about 5-10%. The fact it doesn't list them all doesn't mean it doesn't know they exist.
How do you know how many links the SE's see ? You don't. You know how many they show when you run more advanced searches. Just because google doesn't show many links certainly doesn't mean that it doesn't know about them. Google has for ages only shown a selection of the links that it knows about.
Oh peopleeeeeeeeeeeeeee I refrase (english is not my native language ... perfect sense in english is not my strong point) Google showsssss only .... Not sees
so to confirm... google will update their actual "link:" tool anywhere from 4-6 weeks... but by acquiring BL's google will change SERPs and know about your link efforts, sooner then their monthly or quarterly "link:" update? I'm assuming the adjust SERPs daily based on BL's even before the link: tool is updated? Am i right?
IBL's can have an effect on SERPS even before they appear as link: ... Usually, form my tests ... it takes about 1-2 weeks for Google to see the new links to you site ..and reposition you in Serps...
