Does link have any value?

[whiteonlySEO]

I recently received a link, but upon inspecting the page source on the site I did not see the link in the coding. Is this a link with any SEO value? Is google able to see this link?

Note: Upon inspecting the actual link on the page, I do see coding with a followed link, but on the page source, only the actual table in which it is listed shows in the coding, with none of the content - including our link, showing.

How did you discover that you received this link?

If it was through some kind of alert or a tool, a link to the source page should be available to you as well. Additionally, you can try the site search controller in google to see if the link has indexed.

If Google is indexing it, then you are getting some value from it.

How much?

Links are valuable in a bunch of ways, the two top of mind for me: relevant click through traffic and/or link juice.

Depending on the type of page the link is coming from, it's common for sites to have a rel=nofollow meaning it's not passing link juice, however it doesn't diminish click through traffic. All of which supports contextual links that are well placed and from sites related to yours.

Hope that helps and feel free to provide a bit more information for further support.

Cheers,
