How long for links to help in SERPs?

[kevin7654]

Hello,

I recently purchased a number of high quality links to my site on PR5-PR6 sites. Most were similarly themed. It's been 4-5 days and none of my SERPs have improved! I've included the search terms I want to rank well for in the anchor text. How long does it generally take to see results from new links?

My domain is almost a year old and I rank 11 for the a fairly non-competitive term that I would like to rank well for. I'm just wondering how long it will take to get on the first page. If it takes more than a month for the SERPs to change, does that mean renting a text link for a month is worthless for SEO?

Thanks,
Kevin

I would wait at least three months to see any real effect on G.
