Backlink updates on Google

Shoot me in the head if im saying the obvious

Hi,

This might sound stupid.... but.... Does Google update the backward links every certain month, day, hour?

I know it prob depends on how many you have how big is your site etc, but will Google update the backward links to your site in one go... or does it do 'bit by bit'?

Thanks for your help that I hope to get ;)

Wee rj

I'm assuming you're asking about the links they use as backlinks rather than the links shown using the link: search - and these are all very rough....

Google used to update backlinks every month / six weeks.

It seems they are now updating them more frequently than monthly, but they seem to have included a delay of 3 months ish before your site gets credit for them.

It's mainly speculation, but try this search for more info: [google.com...]

The link: search operator usually shows new backlinks every month to six weeks.
