From my experience I'd say every 2-4 weeks in the last couple of months. But 8 weeks also happened in the past. [webmasterworld.com...] gives you an idea

Does a backward link have to be from a site/page over a certain PR before it shows up?

I'm only seeing PR4 and higher pages when I look at who links to me using link:www.whatever.com

lazycat, that's it. Just PR 4 or higher. If you want to see all/more, try ATW instead.

Hi lazycat and welcome! PR4 seems to be the minimum for a backlink to be displayed.

If you want a list of all the links to your site that Google knows about (but does not necessarily display with the link command), you can use the query: +"www.your*site.com"

Although generally Google link: command shows links with PR4 and plus pages, I keep seeing pages with less PR.

link:www.domain.com shows Link with PR4 and higher.

+www.domain.com show just Websites including the Text "www.domain.de"

Backward links have seemed to show up around 4-6 weeks as far as I've seen in the last two updates.

Yep, PR4 and up only show for backlinks.

I'm sure in part a measure to cut down on data... but probably also to prevent people from getting all their competitors google backlinks and link begging them. IMHO

Link to my site or else!
