Guys and gals, I have a big dilemma,

I have been building backlinks to some of the pages of my blog like crazy in the last couple of weeks, but I see almost no change in their SERP.

Some of these pages went from 5 to 150 backlinks in the last two weeks and yet their SERP has barely improved. Most pages on other sites that rank better than my pages barely have 15-20 backlinks and from what I've checked, they're not higher quality than the backlinks I have.

What's going on here? Is there a waiting period for backlinks to take effect or something?

    Yep. It usually takes about three weeks for Google to index your backlinks.

    You can speed everything up by pinging the pages where you got your links from - but that is not recommended as you'd rather want Google discover the links by themselves, in a natural way.

    Whatever, go ahead and ping them anyways. Jam them all into an artificial RSS feed if you have to. I advocate slapping Google in the face so it knows who you are when you're a new site.

    Are you sure your links are strong? It isn't about quantity, you know.

      Most of the links are from the big article directories and from sites in the same niche or related ones so, I think they are strong.
