When will backlinks start to affect site positions?

Hello there, I am currently running a blog and really interested when google will start to affect my blog positions.

When it's gathered enough proof that the links are real and not from a farm. When there's evidence that people might use them.

SEO is art, not science.

There are a few types of backlinks can negatively affect your ranking in google. Low quality backlinks, purchased backlinks, link exchange, keyword rich backlinks, irrelevant backlinks, etc. Always focus on building high quality and relevant (relevant to your business, products and services) links.
