I recently started a new site and have sent quite a few backlinks to it (including from a number of web 2.0s that I manually created with unique content), but when I check ahrefs or WMT I only see a total of ten referring domains, despite the fact I've sent backlinks to a number of sites over the past week and a half or so. Is it just that Google takes a while to crawl pages depending on popularity (I notice that one backlink i managed to post on an alexa rank 100k site was counted within a day), or is there something else?
How long does Google Crawling take?

Google can crawl your site on demand via webmaster tools .
The site that is backlinking to you must get crawled by google in order to be visible on sites like ahrefs . keep in mind that ahrefs and similars' database are not refreshed that often though.

Google Crawls my site like instantly when I ask them too via Webmaster tools, but it's true that it takes 2-3 days to be indexed in their search engine.

Thanks! I was wondering more about the other sites - the sites I am building backlinks on. I was wondering if they needed to be crawled to to show up in GWT etc and, if so, around how long might that take
