Backlinks According to Google

[TWPLC_seo]

Good Morning,

Google has just recognized some links going to my site. I used a seo toolbar downloaded from firefox that informed me of the Links according to Google.

My question is that them links have been there for ages and Google has only just recognized them. Is there a reason for this? Does Google  only show links quarterly or half yearly?

Thanks

Does this data match "link:www.yourwebsite.com" when you put that into Google? This is so rarely updated or accurate I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Try Open Site Explorer or go to blekko.com and type in

yourwebsite.com /seo

which will give you a better analysis.

It's also not that the links you have are not being 'recognised' by Google - i.e. if you have a good link, it will be likely to contribute to your ranking, just not available via the link: command.
