Links from low PA pages on high DA sites... What effect do they have?
-
My company's website has inbound links from very high DA websites (LinkedIn 96, Yelp 91, etc.) but from pages with very low PA (1). These low PA pages are the company listings pages.
In the case of Linked In, there are several products/services listed with ideal anchor text to the relevant pages on our site.
How do these links effect our overall ranking and trust, and why aren't they listed when I use OSE to analyze my pages?
Thanks!

Thanks, I'll start a new thread.

Christopher, you might want to ask this as its own question, as this is an old thread and new responses won't bounce a thread to the top. I only know of this question since I happened to be subscribed to the thread.
I'm not an expert in PA and DA, but my guess would be that a new release from 2009 doesn't get a whole lot of links and traffic in many cases.
A common response to the question of "should I build links to one of my inlinks to increase the authority of my inlinks" is that you should spend that time getting links to your own page, not doing someone else's linkbuilding work for them.

Why do all the news releases on PRweb.com have a PA=1? It makes sense that the news releases start at PA=1, but news releases from 2009 are still at PA=1. Is it because the vast majority of news releases have one internal back link? What is the affect of a follow link from a page with PA=1 and DA=96? Also, is it possible to increase the PA of your own press release on PRweb.com by adding your own external back links to the press release, thus having a decent PA and a very high DA?
Best,

Your linked in link is no follow. If it was do follow, I would try to get links to that page to raise the PA, but other factors matter. I have seen many pages with lower combo PA and DA rank higher, not sure exactly why though.

I hope the link-building campaign is going well! Q&A is more active than ever; feel free to come and start a new thread with any questions you have, you'll have lots of people to lend you a hand as you continue working on your site.

Thanks, Clement. Driving traffic to the profile pages is imperative.

New profile pages on any site (high DA or low DA) will also have a PA of 1 to start off with.
I believe that is not something you have to worry about as long as it's from a high authority trusted site
One thing you might want to look into is whether the link is a do-follow link or a no-follow link as Google don't follow no-follow link, if you are trying to rank in other search engines (such as yahoo), then it won't be too much of a concern

Thanks for your help, Barry. The link-building campaign is just beginning for our site and I see lots of work up ahead!

Thanks for the tips, Dan. They are much appreciated. As far the URL's are concerned, our page shouldn't be pw protected or blocking robots

Having links from diverse and quality domains helps a lot in terms of link building. The fact the pages that you have links on have low authority isn't bad and pretty natural looking.
That said they're not going to be a magic bullet in terms of getting you ranking but should definitely count as another domain pointing in. I would definitely recommend getting links like these into your business sites as part of your link portfolio.
As for why they don't show in OSE, could just be because OSE hasn't crawled it.

These links are helpful because any link from a good domain is a great thing to have. OSE may not find them if those pages are blocked by a robots.txt file or password protected or something like that. Without seeing any URL's I can't really tell you for sure. But these are good links to have. Be sure to get higher PA and more relevant pages linking to you as well though. Having a good variety helps.

What if trusted sites in your niche have low authority?
What if the most trusted sites in your niche have relatively low authority? Should you still spend a lot of resources to get those links or go after easier links with higher link authority (as determined by MozRank)?

Are link exchanges bad for SEO these days? Also, is adding my site to free yet relevent directory sites a bad idea?
I operate a computer services company in Eugene, Oregon called "Eugene Computer Geeks". We do a lot of web design, and need incoming links to my site very badly. Lately I've been asking clients if they would link to me, but they almost always ask for a link in return. If we exchange links, does Google penalize my site? Would the incoming link be better for SEO if I'm not linking back to the other site? ALSO Is it possible that manually submitting my site to free, yet relevant web directories would hurt my rankings? It's not a big deal to me if it doesn't help my rankings, as I see a benefit to having my site listed, but wanted to make sure there wasn't a chance that it would hurt my rankings. As far as I know all the directories are free from SPAM, porn, warez, or anything like that. Thanks!

High Domain Authority Even Though It has spam links to it...?
I own a domain that can provide links to my website, but it seems to have picked up a lot of spammy links - 2000+ linking domains. SeoMoz toolbar still gives it a domain authority of 66. Should I use the domain to link to my site? Or will it have a negative impact?
