What weight can 1 huge inbound backlink carry and how long does it take for Google to recognize
-
My DA is only 22. I got a beautifully crafted dofollow backlink from a site with a DA of 94 and an AHrefs rank of 98 (the 98th most valuable domain in the world)
2 parter-
1. How much do you think one link like that will affect my DA and rankings? (i understand this is subjective - looking more for opinions)
2. How long before MOZ and Google Search Console see the link? It has been 10 days and the link is not showing up on either yet.
I know the best thing to do is put my head down and keep building links rather than focusing on "when" and "how much" but I'm getting antsy and curious for the community's opinion.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Congrats on your great link!
Hope this clarifies your doubts.
Did you use the Google Search Console tool "inspect any URL in..." ?
Did you search for the page - Google search box - that has the link, and then follow the link to your website?
Regarding on how the link will improve the DA, it is hard to say. In my experience, can be from 2 up to 12. Why? it dependes on many factors like the PA of the page, if the page is highly related to the content into your website, if that content is "clear" for Google due to your meta tags are also related to the subject, it is within the best practices and so.

How long should does it take before I see SEO results?
I am thinking about launching a website connected to Christmas - which gives me less then 2 months to develop and begin ranking for the site. Is this too short a timeframe and I should put off this plan until next year or can I actually begin ranking for low competitive keywords within my timeframe.

How does it take after getting links discovered by google to see increase in rankings?
Five of my friends linked to my site from their website and updated their sites through Google Webmaster tools right after linking to my site. Though the Google spider crawled the site as soon as they updated their pages, it still took about three weeks for my site to get a bump in the serps from their links. Why does it take that long for links to kick in and what is the average time it normally takes to see an increase in ranking from links once Google discovers them? Thanks mozzers! Ron
