Why arent the links I have selected showing up in Google?

In general it will take around 3-6 weeks for Google and the other search engines to completely crawl all of these link pages.

Google will only update the total number of "in links" to your sites around 4 times per year and even then, they will only show a small percentage of the links they are giving your site credit for. It is widely known around SEO circles that the Google "link:" function does not display an exhaustive list of all in links to your site. Rather only a selection is returned.

It is best to use the tool offered by Yahoo:
