When are backlinks counted by google?

If I have a website and create 200 backlinks day 1 and on day 1 google finds 10 backlinks, 20 on day 2, 30 day 3, 40 day 4, 50 day 5, will google see the day that the backlinks are created and say 150 backlinks were created on day 1 or will google count the backlinks each day as it finds the backlinks ( 10 day 1, 20 day 2. ect. )

    As and when they're indexed. "Rankings" are updated more or less continually.

    As it finds/indexes them, but that doesn't matter very much. Your entire "frame of reference" for thinking about this isn't one that's going to serve you well. SEO just isn't about "numbers of backlinks". It's about quality and relevance.

    "Creating 200 backlinks" really isn't a helpful approach.

    Google counts backlinks to a site when they are indexed, but it doesn't always lead to higher rankings immediately, especially now with the new ranking delay Google has introduced into the algorithm.

    If Google discovers 10 backlinks on day 1, then, from Google's perspective, 10 backlinks were found on day 1. The creation date of a backlink means nothing to Google, so don't worry about getting penalised for creating 200 links a day.

    That said, 200 links in one day is too much and it might look unnatural even if Google doesn't discover all of them at once. Build 20 or less per day instead.

      That's not true at all. You should work on creating and attracting as many good links as you can. There is no limit. There is no number that will get you penalized or look "natural". That is all horsecrap.

    Nobody know when backlinks are counted. It doesn't matter how many. The matter is quality backlink

      I understand you want to know the 'indexing' part of the backlinks. But don't get too much into it. If you are using Google Webmaster Tools, you can check the indexing status there. If not, there are other backlink checking tools you can use.

      Now to answer your question, if the sites from where you are getting backlinks from are authority sites, then googlebot crawls such sites frequently than sites with low or no authority at all. So in this case, there is a huge possibility that your backlinks can be indexed within a day or two (depending on the crawling schedule and that site authority).

      Hope it helps.

    GWT takes time to generate back link data in your account. Assume that you create 10 back link per day but SE robots unable to crawl and index that page in same day. That's why it not consider as your back link. Now out of 10, 5 back links page are index or crawl by SE that consider as a back links.
    This is also factor until GWT not update your back links and display old data.
