Why is this link from a .edu source not being counted?
-
The site in question is: http://Ellenensher.com
We are wondering why a powerful edu link is not being counted in opensiteexplorer. Is it not being indexed? Or is it some other issue? It shows up in webmaster tools and is a PR 5 link. Let us know if you have any ideas on this issue!

Thanks!

James, OSE only crawls a portion of the web. Even Google can not technically crawl the entire web. There's almost an infinite amount of information and web pages out there. So as long as it's cached in Google, which it is, I wouldn't worry about it. Eventually it will show up. The good news you shared is the fact that it shows up in webmaster tools. You are good.

Is it a new link? You may have to wait till OSE's next update, which looks like it'll be on May 20.

Disavowing Links
I need some advice... I've noticed our link profile has increased with many comments links --- something I certainly have not pursued manually. I'm new to disavowing links. However, before I go ahead and disavow them, I'd like to ask how harmful these links are and would you recommend this is something I can do myself (relatively novice SEO) or if you'd recommend someone who could do this for a reasonable cost. In one instance, the link from this comment thread is with the anchor text, "porn"... Certainly not something we want to rank for, haha! I look forward to your advice

Subdomain links vs root domain links? Are the less valuable?
I am determining the value of links we get. Is a link on a subdomain less valuable vs one on the root domain? How less valuable would you consider a subdomain link? For example blog.site.com vs site.com/blog What other metrics would you take into consideration for the value of a subdomain link?

How long does it take for link to count towards DA?
We got a link for a client this week from a 93DA website .. how long will it take to actually show up in DA or will it affect it at all? http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/ We have a problem with a site, ranking above our client with a very spammy link profile - so I'm hoping this could help to bump them back up to #1 Thanks, Laura

Root Domain Link for Affiliate's Link
It seems my affiliate link: http://www.hrmsplugins.com?partners=21 is not being considered as a "root domain" backlink when this link is used on their website. Is there a reason for this?

Buy links
I know that many of you are against the whole thing with buying links. Your feelings put aside. Will it be better for my site to buy links or even do link exchange? Haven´t the crawlers been thought by now how to find these untrue links? I have read somewhere that the stop after 100 links, aren´t they smarter than that?

If 50% of our links come from one source, will that hurt us?
We have a partnership with another site that we write content for and 50% of our inbound links are from them. Could this hurt us in any way?

Blog traffic / link ratio? (Esimated of how much traffic will result in a link)
Hi, Was wondering if people could please tell me some estimates of how much traffic is likely to gain links to a blog post? For example 1,000 hits = 1 link, Hence 10,000 hits = 10 links to a blog post? I understand there is no magic ratio I just want to know what people have achieved. I’m after averages not just a one off really successful blog post too. Please specify the topic you achieve this in e.g. SEO, photography, business, heath... etc.
