Google doesn't show but a small portion of the BL that has indexed. It doesn't mean that it doesn't take them into consideration. I'd use Yahoo to get a better picture of your BL situation

Obviously if they are new, it takes them a while to register. Everything is taking longer now. With all the billions of sites out there, you just gotta play a waiting game. Sometimes a backlink might not get noticed until that site gives an updated sitemap to google. Otherwise they just sit around till googles spiders get to that site, which could take a while.. just be patient in all things concerning Google.

Don't panic, it doesn't mean that Google started considering them now, it is just that it makes BL updates from time to time and then shows all the new links that you got from the last update at once.
It's not that it just considers 8, but that just shows 8. It's better to check it out in Yahoo (linkdomain:yourdomain -domain:yourdomain) and then assume that Google has the same number of links as Yahoo shows.
