Open Site Explorer
-
Typically when using Open Site Explorer to analyze links, how long does it take for them to show up? I have some links that are on high page ranking sites, yet they still do not show up with the Open Site Explorer.
Thank you

OSE can be a couple months behind at times. I think this last one was through May? I also think I read that it has a smaller index than previous ones so your links may not appear.
But I would use a variety of tools. OSE is great but it often misses a bunch of notable links. WBT also has a great tool for checking site links

We are aiming to update Open Site Explorer data on a monthly basis. The data isn't real time, but instead lags behind a few weeks (we crawl, then process, then publish). We just had an update, and there should be another update on August 3rd -- see our handy dandy calendar at https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/345964-linkscape-update-schedule.

It should appear, you can use the search feature within the tool.
It also updates every 30 days or so, and if it was within that gap, it might not appear yet.

Spammy links redirecting to homepage of site -
Hey guys, I'm auditing a website at the moment and Moz is showing a few spammy links linking to it. The problem is these domains are all 301 redirecting to the domain I'm auditing. Let's say I'm auditing Site A. Site B is been flagged in Moz OSE with 12 spam flags. When I try to open Site B in a browser, it redirects back to Site A. What's the best thing to do, here? Disavowing domains redirecting to the site is surely a bad idea? Cheers.

301 redirect from a de-indexed site
Is link juice passed from a website that has been intentionally de-indexed by webmaster? The scenario is I had 2 websites with similar content. I decided to get rid of one by de-indexing. I also did a 301redirect from my de-indexed site. Not the whole domain but just the 2 URL's which I believe could pass on link juice. In this case how long the link juice would flow via 301 redirect?

Links for edu and gov sites
So it is general knowledge that links from .edu and .gov sites are valued higher by Google. So, I hired some guys on freelance sites to help me buildlinks and get some love from SERPS. But one thing I notice quite often is that some of these links are actually like *.edu.tw (with a international TLD after .edu) What is your thoughts on links like that, do they have ANY edu value?
