Hi Everyone,

I'm pretty wet behind the ears when it comes to getting backlinks to my site.

I have managed to add around 30 links over the last few days but when I check my backlinks via various web-based checking tools it isn't showing any results.

Does it take time for backlinks to register or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Yes those tools can take a while and in many cases won't show all links.

Yahoo site explorer will show the most and it also seems to take the longest to reflect new changes. Times can take anywhere from a week to 3 months.

Just know that the engines themselves (Google especially) update their indexes for SEARCH (which is their core service) daily. So even if Google's tool says you don't have backlinks for 2 months, it's search results will confirm that you do in days, and in some cases, even hours.
