How long does it take for new links to show up?

[Kibin]

Hi all,

We just kicked off our first infographic to start a content marketing strategy:

I'm wondering how long it will take for SEOMoz to add this to our link profile, and I suppose more importantly, how long it will take Google to recognize the links that have been generated from it.

The response has been pretty good and I'm excited to see the results.

Thanks!

For Google it is usually almost instant. Once they crawl your site and other sites with your content it will be indexed.

As for SEOmoz, OSE usually updates once or twice a month. You can check the update calendar here.

But FYI SEOmoz doesn't get all the links, they only scrape a little percentage of total links.

You can also check Google WMT for links to us to see if they update that information.

Charles,

Thanks for the kudos on the site design. We've spent the better half of January sprucing it up with bread crumbs, service pages, a new layout, the custom illustrations, etc.

The goal was to increase user experience while also improving the SEO friendliness of the site. It was a lot of (positive) change and that's why I'm excited to start seeing some results and fruits of our labor!

I didn't know that you could submit a url to WMT... in fact, we haven't been using WMT very much at all. I just poked around and found out how to do that, so that's done. Thanks!

As for backlinks, we did get a fair number of quality ones (and one coming early this week from eHarmony's blog yet too)... so I guess I'll just have to be patient for that to show up in OSE. We're still a pretty new SEOMoz account, so I'm just a bit antsy to start seeing some of our metrics improve.

I guess I just need to be a bit patient

Thanks for the response!
