If they still exist and you are not getting traffic from them then nobody is clicking on them. This could be for any number of reasons that without knowing where the links are anybody here would just be guessing.

SEs will take a while (could be days, weeks or months) before getting those backlinks into their system and the backlinks will not show in their results until they have been indexed.

As I said, patience is called for.
