          I loaded the link in a program that makes HTML code visible. (For HTML noobs like me) here's a link to the program http://www.pagebreeze.com/

          If you edit the HTML Source with that link, and then view it, nothing is displayed..

          I'm not that clued up with HTML, but from what i can tell, Google wont see that as a link.

              After testing that code in an HTML viewer, I would say no, Google wont see that as a link.

              Could you give me a real example of the link?

                How much time does it takes for a backlink to get registered in Google? My basketball anime website has been live since start of this week and Google has not registered any backlink.

                So my website https://www.animedhfa.com/basketball-anime/ about basketball Anime has shown no changes in DA or backlinks. It has been 5 days perhaps since it went live.

                I got some backlinks in quality sites, and google crawled this sites something like couple days ago, but until now i did not see any results, im stuck in second page, i got backlinks with the exact keyword. Do i have to wait a little more? Do i have to worry bout it? Thanks

                Index.php OR .php - Which is better for urls

                I was wondering.  When I build links should I build them using "index.php" OR ".php" at the end?  Does one have any more value than the other from an SEO standpoint Example: www.mywebsite.com\hotdogs\index.php or www.mywebsite.com\hotdogs.php
