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

Just re read how I wrote the question - it's actually a competing site that has the spammy link profile - that is why I was frustrated they were ranking higher.
But hopefully Penguin refresh will impact them.
Thanks

Great point Karl! Added incentive to make sure our client's backlinks are authoritative and squeaky clean.

Hi Laura,
Just to add to what David said...if the company above you has a spammy backlink profile then there is a good chance that the Penguin refresh that is coming "in the next few weeks" will hit them hard and your client will be back to number 1! Keep building these high quality links and you will be fine.
Good luck!

Hey Laura,
SEOmoz uses data from OSE for its DA, PA, and other link metrics. Since SEOmoz only updates the index every four weeks (lately it has been more like every two weeks), the data is a little bit delayed and not instantaneous. In addition, the actual crawl takes two to three weeks to complete meaning the data will not necessarily be included in the next update. Basically, the link should show up in OSE and impact your DA/PA within six weeks or so. One thing to keep in mind -- the delay in OSE will not impact the timeframe in which Google considers the link for rankings.
I would definitely spend the next couple of weeks building additional high-quality links and cleaning up the backlink profile. It is rare for one authority link to 'undo' all of the problems that a spammy backlink profile has caused.

Should I disavow these links?
Hi all, I have a ski website that I am currently performing a toxic backlink audit on. I have noted that a lot of the links being flagged as toxic/spammy by the tool I am using seem to be the same/similar sites with different URLs. The sites are vaguely related to skiing (relating to helicopter travel options for travelling to ski resorts) but it is concerning me that there are so many of them and they are being flagged as so toxic.

Do you think it is worth disavowing these? Or contacting the owner to ask them to remove the link? I have included an example of some of the links below. https://www.cannes-helicopters.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
https://nice-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
https://monaco-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5 Slightly different site but same favicon icon:

Value of Links? What is each link worth?
Morning Everyone, I just had this thought and wondered what everyone's opinions were in terms of link value in monetary terms. We'll assume for the purposes of this that the links come from contextually relevant sites and that the sites in question have got the Moz DA from being high quality and have a good quality incoming link profile. Its a bit of a theoretical question, but i guess imagine if the only way you could get links was to pay for them, what would they be worth to you. This is link value for SEO purposes, they will have in addition value from traffic from good sites, that no doubt varies wildly depending on topic. I assume everyone also agrees on: The first link from a domain is the most valuable High DA sites are worth more than low ones. So could anyone who has an opinion on the link value suggest a monetary value for links. Its really just using a monetary amount to see how best to target my time. Here is my example of what might be expected, but I am hoping people with more knowledge will perhaps correct it. DA Rating First Link 2nd-5th Link 5th-10th Link 10Plus Links 5 $5 $2 $1 $0 15 $7 $3 $2 $1 25 $25 $10 $5 $2 35 $45 $20 $7 $3 45 $65 $30 $11 $4 55 $95 $45 $19 $5 65 $200 $100 $45 $6 75 $350 $120 $65 $9 85 $700 $240 $95 $15 95 $1100 $450 $200 $30

Internal Link Building and Link Juice Quality
Hi There! I manage the website for a law office that covers many geographical locations. For very specific niche content, we would prefer to create one piece of content and link to the various geographic locations where we would handle that topic instead of posting multiple variations of the same content for each specific geographical area. If we put a button on these pages that has links to each location, will that have the same "link juice" effect to the pages we're linking that linking directly in the text would? (example: the Where can we help you? button on this page : http://www.zdfirm.com/volkswagen-recall/) Thank you!

I am getting links on people's wordpress blogs but are not showing up on the just discovered tool. Is it true that wordpress links are no-follow links that do give off any link-juice?
A blogger told me that "wordpress.com does not allow blogs to show advertisements or use links to sites that sell merchandise of any kind" is this true? Am i wasting my outreach time trying to get links from wordpress operated blogs?

Too many external links vs linking root domains - good or bad?
Hi guys, After the latest Linkscape update, we noticed that our website have 424,671 external links with 4,395 linking root domains, so roughly 100 links/domain. Does Google consider this to be a negative thing or we do not need to worry about it. Many thanks. David

Value of International Links
Does international link building make sense for US websites (.com domain)? The links we could acquire are from websites in the same niche, but I read on a forum that Google will disregard (devalue ?) international links. There is work involved in getting such a link, so it's quite important to find out whether they are worth the trouble.
