I have created 30 odd links for my site. Out of which 17 are indexed in google. My concern is that GSC shows only one link. Is this normal? All links were created in Nov/Dec only
 
GSC links :)
highly Possible your links aren't cached yet just indexed.
wait for it dont worry if they are indexed that means google bot has crossed paths with your backlinks it will surely cache your links too :)
 
Did you manually check them if they’re seen on google search if not do that you’ll find your answer

Yes, when I meant indexed - I can search in google and find them.
 
I know it will pass link juice. My question was more from learning perspective. Is this normal and expected behavior? Hopefully someone has seen this before :)

GSC simply doesn't show all of your indexed links.
 
first of all. i would prefer comment links upon GSA links. btw I have noticed that backlinks only affect your rankings when they are also cached by Google. Specially when they are shown in GSC.

Great work. You are almost there - 15 more posts to go.

Posting irrelevant messages across the forum
buddy I am free for 15 minutes so just posting some replies which can help people... Didn't get what you mean by just 15 posts to go?
 
He was commenting to your rush to get to 100 posts
but why would I rush for 100 posts? Does it give an extra badge? I actually pass my lunch break by reading ideas and success stories here. Little did I know that replying to people actually give an extra pleasure of helping someone... :P
 
OP If you are finding them manually in the forward facing index then they are relevant to your campaign , Search Console does not always show all links so you should not have any concern. But why build odd links? Where these foundation links or are you testing?

What do you mean odd links? The links I built are all types (guest posts, profiles, social bookmark, reddit, PBNs). My question was why links are not showing up in GSC vs finding them in google search (paste link and search in google).

Even today, I have some 30 odd links that I can find in google search (indexed) but I see only 1 link in GSC
 
It takes time for them to show up in GSC. Ihve had like take a month to show up after indexing. But I have some that just don't ever show up. Give it time, if they don't show up and they are indexed by google there isn't much you can do.

In the past I would worry a out getting links to index. I have since found it much more sucessful to create the link and move on, Google will do its thing in time.
 
Update:
Today GSC updated and shows most of the links and more. Some links which are not showing up while googling also show up in GSC. So they are indexed but not searchable in Google :)
