Google ignores links using css class .pos?

[PunkJazz]

I have 25 links on a pr6 site that have been up for over a month and still do not show up in the backlinks for a single url involved. Is google just monumentally screwed up or is it ignoring the links because they are positioned with ccs?

Example:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.pos {
left: 50px;
top: 50px;
position: absolute;
}
-->
</style>

and then links like so:

<p align="left" class="pos">a href="http://blahblah.com">blahblahblah</a><br> etc

did you accidently forgot the "<" opening for the a href?

it should read:
<p align="left" class="pos"><a href="http://blahblah.com">blahblahblah</a><br> etc

positioning links using css has not prevented google following links as far as i am aware.

Yes thanks that was just a cut and paste typo. In the current state of google how long should it take for prominent backlinks from a pr6 page to start showing up in backlinks?

PunkJazz, I don't know that anyone can answer that definitively. One might expect that a PR6 page would get spidered regularly, and that inclusion of the link would be fairly quick. However, there has been a lot of oddity in backlinks noted here. One question - is the PR6 page with your link already in Google's cache? If so, it's not a spidering issue, it's a link determination issue.
