How long b4 a backlink is counted in the serps?

    Just curious what the consensus is about how long it takes for the SE's to count a new incoming link towards the value and position of a web site?

    For example, I add a link on site a to site b. We'll call the day it's spidered and cached as day 1. How long do you think it takes a SE to calculate that link towards the site it points to? Instantly, a few days, the next algo update?

    I haven't seen a lot of discussion on this and I'm just curious what the majority opinion is on this.

    10-14 days is my estimate.

    It depends if the Sandbox theory is true or not...

    If it is, It will probabally be 3 months or so...

    Would depend on where you are between two Google updates...

    I only see big BL changes once every 20-30 days or so.

    Back links are counted internally towards ranking before the are publicly reported.

    SO the sandbox is nothing to do with it?

    I have heard so many things and seen a lot on the sites I work on...

    I dunno, Backlinks in yahoo for 1 site are about 180 odd, and in Google about 12. Most of those links went up in the last 2 months (5 or 6 a day)

    well, google doesn't show ALL backlinks. it's just a selection of them; usually they only show PR4 or higher.

    the ones lower than PR4 (and the other ones not shown) still count, but they just don't show on a link: search.

    Where does google get the PR of some of these forum links then- is it the Archive that carries the PR?

    The forum itself carries the PR, and is passed down to the individual forums and posts just like any other website structure.

    I was convinced of that for a very long time until I was proven wrong...

    I'll find the link: request again then link to it later... (A PR3 showed up in the results)
