Hey, I was wondering... i wrote some blogs last night an linked back to one of my pages. I tried a couple of backlink checkers and they didn't show the links. Did I do it wrong?

    If only backlinking were that easy!

    No, you didn't do anything wrong, but it will take a while before your links will start showing up in backlink checkers. You have to wait for Google to "discover" them.

    Keep on backlinking, and just check back again in a week or so.

    Yes, it may take a while before Google finds your backlinks. Keep patience. For me it took couple of weeks. Backlinks from the similar niche are more authoritative. You may already know that.

    Even after Google, or Yahoo etc. find it, they may not admit it. The search engines do not report all of the links they find. Google only shows about 10% of the links, from what I have read. Obviously no one knows for sure, but it is fairly obvious that people place hundreds of links and then a couple of months later there is only a handful visible in the engines. It is believed that they don't want you to know how many they find as that might help you reverse engineer their algorithm.

      Thanks, you guys are the best...I get it.
      I've looked for niche blogs to write in, but when I go looking for a niche blog, I just usually find someones else's blog in that niche

      Yes it appears to be lopsided, either you are a huge commercially viable enterprise capable of spending large sums of money on google, then they get all the love, while us little fish in the big pond have to make lots of waves...
