Hi, Has anyone noticed there WMT backlinks have not been updated for Feb. The last time google found a link for me was Jan 29th. How often do they normally update, and does this mean your SERP ranking is delayed until they update. J
Nothing to worry about. Google is constantly crawling links and adding them to your links that they use in SERP algorithm calculations. Sign up for "Google Alerts" and you will see EXACTLY what I am talking about. They will notify you INSTANTLY whenever a link to your site is crawled! Yesterday, I posted a Do Follow blog comment, at a site that has "music, karaoke, and entertainment" in its content. Those words are common to my site, so its a relevant site for link purposes. TWO HOURS after the comment was posted (containing my anchor text --see below for an example in my DP sig) -- Google sent me a Google Alert, letting me know that the link was present and accounted for.
