i have made like 100 backward links for my site
When you say you made them, how do you mean?
I ask because if I take you literally as though they resided on your server and you're pointing them to your main page, that may not be a good idea.

i mean that i went to other 100 sites...and i put my website link on their websites...so in total i did 100
Should I assume these sites were link farms? I mean, you say you 'put them there', which suggests link farms - while my experience tells me a 'normal' submission process takes a bit longer.
I have to ask because these are important distinctions. If they are link farms you might have a problem with Google as a result. From what I understand she doesn't like link farms at all.
...but google isn't crawling those links what do i do to get those links crawled?
I'm not sure you have any control over how, or when Google crawls any other site.
Here's my take on Google and backlinks. When Google (et., al.) crawls those sites she/they finds the links to you and then crawls your site and adjusts to whatever Page Rank (PR) that may equate to.
There may be others here who have more detailed information, so don't take my response as Gospel.

Like I said:

Maybe someone else will weigh in on this if you need more info.
Once you read up on Google you'll understand why I asked those questions. From what I understand Google can be very fussy about sites linking soley for the sake of Page Rank (PR). So much so, that folks who have done this lost their newly found PR as a result of bad practices.
Might I suggest you read up on what they have in the Google group for more info.

Are your sure about this? I have over 200 websites and alomost all my link with other are reciprocal. And the ones with more reciprocal links have higher PR. All of my sites have he same amount of content with the same layout too.
I know perfectly well that Google does not filter out my reciprocal links. In the world of informational sites reciprocal links are perfectly legitimate, if my site discusses widgets and yours does, it is very appropriate for me to link to you and vice versa.
Basically you *may* be rewarded for having a well linked (and therefore more easily navigable) site, but don't over do it.
As people say "design the site for humans" because in the end no matter how many search engines spider your site and what PR you get, your site is only any good if people linger there. If they come to your site and then leave immediately, no matter what your SE rank, you still are losing business.
ok so am i right that links exchanged between different domains are good for LP an PR
and links exchanged between pages within the same domain are ignored?
Nope.
Reciprocated links bring in PageRank just as non-reciprocated links do. While you're right that search engines could detect them and just count them as offsetting each other, I've never heard of any doing so.
Of course, PageRank is only one consideration. Other parts of the ranking algorithms ("hub score," etc.) might be affected by various linking strategies. But the conversation here is about PageRank, and the only factors in that calculation of the PageRank of the linking page itself, and how many outbound links it has.
