DA of 53, what is a good DA number?

[BigBlaze205]

Looking for links, I found a association http://nafahq.org/

with a yealy membership fee, they have a DA of 53. Before sending my money, I would like to know your opinions.

Is a DA of 53 something I should conseders? What is a good DA number?

Thank you,

Jean

Jean,

The more important question is how relevant a directory or association site is to the market your trying to target?  Inbound link profiles require you have links coming from sites and directories that have a variety of performance indicators, from relatively low up to as high as you can obtain.

If that association is quite appropriate to your site's purpose and intent, not only do you get the benefit of relevance relationships, you can also potentially get people clicking through to your site from your listing there.  Highly relevant people.  Which itself is both good for business and a strong signal to search engines that it's a valuable link, and your site is important.

You might want to buy the membership if the site's DA is higher than yours. Also check to be sure the page your listing will live on has a high PA. Consider whether the site is relevant to your site and whether your listing is likely to drive qualified traffic to your site.
