How long will it take for the link analysis to be updated?
-
In an effort to evaluate SEOmoz I started off my free trial with a fresh website that I am going to get to rank on the first page and hopefully to the #1 spot.
I have been link building and changing the website around a lot. When I created the website hosted by HostGator with wordpress installed I marked down where it showed up the first time. After checking for many days to about the 100th spot I found it in spot 65. I have since then been spending some time (not a ton of time, but enough) guest posting, some bookmarking, press release creation and some other odds and ends stuff.
The page has gone up to 23rd but there have been no signs of any work done on the link analysis.
So, How long does it take?

Linkscape, the data source for Open Site Explorer, was just updated on November 2nd. It is normally updated once/month but the SEOmoz team is working to enhance the process which can affect the update timeline.
The crawler sees the top 25% of webpages. It does not crawl 100% of the internet. For the most part, if the SEOmoz crawler does not see the link, it does not have much (if any) value. If you built the links prior to November, then they should be visible in the next update.
Bookmarking can be very valuable if the bookmark is used and visible. For example, if you get your bookmark to the front page of a site and it is promoted in any way. If you simply add a bookmark which is otherwise not used and located on a buried page, it likely has no value.
A Press Release which is offered by PRWeb or other reputable companies and is picked up has value. Some press releases are simply not seen or valued.
If you can earn links from quality, reputable sites then those links will be quickly found by Linkscape, and even faster by Google. Links from a site's home page, or links from a strongly reputable site from a popular web page are helpful. One strong link is often worth more then 100 random links. Go for quality.

Unsolved Updating labels via CSV upload
Hi, I'd like to update all my keyword labels in one go and I thought it would be easier to do this via a csv upload) however, when I try to upload the keyword file with all my existing keywords and the labels, it says I can't due to me reaching my keyword limit.

FollowerWonk: How long have I been following someone?
Is there a way within followerwonk to find out how long you have been following someone for or indeed how long they have been following you for? I have downloaded the excel document from the "sort your followers" tab Which has sections called. "follows @name" and "@name follows" but these just give a last checked date(if they do follow/are being followed) rather than the metric I want!

How long will it take for Page Rank (or Page Authority) to flow via a 301 redirect?
I've recently redeveloped a static site using WordPress and have created 301 redirects for the original urls to the new urls. I know I won't get all the value passed via the 301, but I'm hoping some will. Any idea how long this may take? It's been nearly a month since the changeover so wondering if it would be weeks, months or more?

How often is Open Site Explorer updated?
Or perhaps my question is actually how often does the seomoz bot crawl the web? I ran some benchmark link counts for a number of websites about this time last month and I noticed when I went to update them for this month the data is the same. Thanks.
