I believe you get a percentage of the "link juice" right away. I'm guessing 20%, although I have know real basis other than guess.

I have to agree with this also as I have noticed this. I have very competitive terms that were sitting on page 2 of google for quite a long time. They were stable for about the pat 6 months on the same position. I then started a new link building campaign and the SERP's position moved in 4-8 days. it fluctuated back and forth and after 2 to 3 weeks rankings were stabled to page 1 results. its still continuing to move up. It hasn't been even two months yet so I have to agree with this but I still think the best results are to come after 3 months.
