      How long does it take Google Webmaster tools on average to detect links to my website? What about OSE? My site is fairly new (launched in January) and I've done some guest blogging -- I would think that some links from 3-4 weeks ago would be showing up by now. Am I just being impatient?

          It depends on site. If it is well known then it might index it fast.
          In Laser Marking Machine we are building links some of them are indexing and some of them are still not indexed.

                      Dear All,

                      I'm owner of a new web site and I have tried to get some backlinks. Checking my competitors with moz link explorer I find some forums and some other page that I have started to write some articles and get some back links.

                      The problem is that my competitors are ranking better them me even they have small amount off back links.

                      I checked my website with moz link explorer and this back links are not showing up for my web site.

                      Its now 2 weeks  and nothing. Can anybody tel me how many times it takes for the back links to shows up ?

                      Herre is my web site www.rentpoint.al

                      Thanks

                        hello I have a website with page rank 4 I've noticed when update pages it update right away but when I update with a new post it goes live couple of hours if you aearch for it on Google with the key words you used so that means if you use your site to post useful information or news google is going to pick it up quick I also use Google Plus remember that is 100% google no middle man i have also noticed when i use g+ I get more  hits so meaning I'll stick with google+ to post different information than facebook.

                        this is article I published that you can check out.

                          It depends on a variety of factors.  You will notice that some people say that it takes hrs while others might say months.  I recently highlighted these in my own blog post, but if you want something crawled and indexed faster you need the trust of that website to be increased.  So feel free to share it on social media sites, build links to that page, or connect Google+ to it.

                            Andrew, let's site abc.com is the site linking to your from their homepage. If you really want to check, just see cache:abc.com in Google and see if the page in Google's cache contains your link. Google may or may not show all of your backlinks.

                            Considering your site is new, and the fact that you are doing Guest Posts (which in my opinion are the Directory Submissions of 2011-2012-2013 years), I would look at diversifying your link building tactics to be more natural. Really natural. Specially if you want this site to rank for a long period.

                            I hope this helps.

                              Hi Andrew, it takes only a few hours!... (also websites that post news will not wait 3 months ;)) But I think it depends on your trust and page rank which helps to get new links indexed faster. I have my own domain more than 10 years, got very few but good backlinks and never found time to optimize my own site but at least it has a PR4. I lately tested how blogging helpes to rank for keywords and made very good experiences. At night I posted a short article, submitted it with WMT ...fetch as google... And the next morning the new page ranked already very well !! So upload your page and submit it to google. And check next morning... It worked for my WP Blog. Thats my experience Best regards, Holger

                                How long does it take to get links indexed?

                                It depends upon on how often Google crawls the website and web pages concerned and whether or not they determine the content worthwhile adding to their index. You can perform a search in Google to see if the web pages containing your links have been indexed and check the last cache date.

                                **How long does it take Google Webmaster tools on average to detect links to my website? **

                                About 6 weeks on average, however Google does not include all your links in WMT

                                What about OSE?

                                The way Mozscape crawls and indexes the web means that deep pages are often not added to their OSE reports. If the links were only placed in the last 3-4 weeks it's unlikely Moz will havew found them all yet so I would hold on a couple more weeks.

                                  I believe Matt Cutts once said that the backlinks in GWT are updated every 3 months or so. I'm not sure if the frequency has been changed since then. I don't know how often OSE updates.

                                  It's best to keep track of your own backlinks. As long as the page that the link is on has been indexed by Google, then it is likely already being taken into account from the algorithm's perspective.
