Google Link-building Update....

Hey, Guys

How long does it take for Google to recognize your link-building efforts with authority websites and affect the SERPS?

[RyanKent]

It can be as little as a few hours to as much as a couple months. It depends on the popularity of the specific page which contains the link, along with the number and quality of links pointed to that page.

Ahhh,

So this might be kind of a dumb question but does the page that your link shows up on affect the strength of the Referral. For example ( We just got a "do follow" link on a National Association website with major link juice. Our link is not on the homepage but it is on a sub-domain. If it were on the homepage would it have made a bigger affect ?)

The strength of the link does depend on the page that it is on.  So, if the home page did have more authority, then it would have a larger impact.

It's an ongoing process and depends partially on the authority of the sites you are getting links from.

Google has to recrawl the page that the link was placed on, then bake that into their algo for ranking, so if the links are on pages that Google crawls often, it will get counted sooner.

[RyanKent]

Chad is absolutely correct.

As pointed out it depends, on a variety of factors.   It can take hrs or either months for Google to crawl something.  One thing that we always suggest is that you can use social signals, in particular Google+, on the page that has the link to get it crawled faster.

For example if you are a gun company, and you want the link that you got on NY Times to be crawled faster tweet out the NY Times article.

In the end you want that page that has your linked to get crawled faster.  Here are a few tips that we wrote about a few months ago, that might help you: http://www.theedesign.com/blog/2013/raleigh-internet-marketers-index-your-website-for-you
