How long does it take for crawlers to update links? As in number of back links

Unfortunately there is no exact answer to this. Say you get a bunch of links from a variety of sites. The "better" quality sites like blogs that get a lot of traffic, are updated frequently and maybe have a higher pagerank, among other things, will see their pages indexed sooner than lower quality sites like directories. IN some cases, the site may be decent quality but is really huge so indexing new content on it may take longer too. So a link from a high profile site may get indexed almost immediately, but your links from crappyseolinks4salenow.com may take a few weeks.  Then, once Google finds the new links, it will also take some time until they are factored in to Google's ranking of your site. And that can also depend on how often your own site is crawled and re-calculated.

So it could be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.  I have seen the effects of even a good link take anywhere from a day to a month to show up.
