Do the back links on Webmaster Tools mean that the site has been weighted accordingly by now or do I need to wait until they appear on Google search? |
Your links wont ever really show up using the link: operator.
GWT gives a much better view, but it is only updated at G's whim, and the data cant be relied on completely (it also includes nofollow links which have no value).
