One of my early mentors told me that he sees benefit about a month after the initial link is posted, and that the links seem to get stronger roughly 5-6 months in. This seems to be true in my own analytics, though perhaps I'm reading into it a bit. Some rough testing on my part seem to show that it takes about a month for a link to directly affect rankings though, certainly.

Alan is correct. To elaborate a bit, if you were to receive a link from the New York Times home page, google would see the link within an hour and your rankings could immediately benefit. The reason is nytimes.com has a PA of 99 which basically means it is one of the most important pages on the internet.
If you were to receive a link from a random page on an unknown site, or even a popular site but on a page which is deeply buried, the link may never be seen.
Crawlers move through the internet based on links. The amount of time for the link to your site being discovered is dependent upon how well the page containing your link is linked from other pages.

It depends on when they are crawled, any think from a few hours to a few months, but useally a few weeks

Domain authority or page authority in ranking
Hi, sorry if this is an obvious one... I am doing some keyword research tool and have a few keywords I wish to ran for. Looking at the DA of the sites on the first page they are averaging 60ish, my site is 33. However, for the keywords I am targeting they seem to have PA of 1, or at best, 5. From what I can make it out appears they are ranking for the keywords because of their strong DA rather than any seo work. If I were to target these keywords and send backlinks to the individual pages and so build up a PA on my pages would this be enough to challenge the competitors or would I still be at a major disadvantage because of my lower DA? Hope that make sense? I know what I mean but hard to explain it Thanks

Or another way to put the question - when you launch a new site, what steps do you go through?

OpenSite Explorer-How Long For Links to Show Up?
I have acquired a very good number of high PR rank backlinks from quality websites to my site over the last several months. However, when I check my LInkscape Analysis they do not show up and my number of incoming links seems to remain the same. How long does it take for these to show up with the SEOMoz tools? Thanks
