Calvin,
Let me go back to a previous answer:
Better to stop now with that and take a month to study up on link building before you do more damage. There's plenty of good info right here on Moz for a start.

Hi Chris,
Please answer my 2 questions
1.does no follow link Contribute to DA or PA(Directly or Indirectly)? if yes how?
2. lets say if someone clicks on my no follow ext link and that person lands on my site, is it gonna increase my DA or PA as it is providing a referal? and for( how long should a person should stay on my site to have maximum benefit)?

A site that sends traffic to your site via a link counts as a referral. A site that has your website address shown on it but that address is not clickable (maybe as an image or it's just not hyperlinked) might technically be a referral but since analytics identifies clicks on a hyperlink as a referral, that's usually what it means--and that's regardless of "DA".
Only the clickable part is actually called the "link". The surrounding text can provide context for that link, in regards to how google determines the link's value to the page being linked to. Words included in the clickable part of the link are considered to add much more important context than those surrounding it so google weighs those more heavily than surrounding words.
"Domain authority" is moz's approximation of google's pagerank scheme. DA approximates the overall value of all the pages on the domain and "page authority" approximates the value of individual pages. It is very possible to have pages that have zero PA on a high DA site and that links on that zero PA page approximately worthless so don't pay attention to DA only.

hi chris,
i have this confusion, Let us suppose I have this website and somebody in Canada just wrote 150 words follow link , an external link, to my site
my question is , is that gonna be a referral link or a back link if that website has DA of 70? higher the better
second question: How does that particular post contributes to a referral or a back link I mean does somebody click on it , does somebody reads it ,does somebody shares it, what happens ?

You would be best to rethink your back link strategy. For the most part, if YOU can create them, or you can have someone else create them for you, they're either worth nothing or you'll take a hit for them from google--regardless of the ration of links to referring domains. Better to stop now with that and take a month to study up on link building before you do more damage. There's plenty of good info right here on Moz for a start.

Calvin,
Think about the difference between 500 different companies giving your company a recommendation and 500 employees of a single company giving your company a recommendation. If you were a non partial 3rd party deciding which might be more influential to a potential customer, which would you say might be?
Google's algorithm attempts to replicate that decision.
While 500 employees of one company might be influenced by a single person (such as a CEO), it would be much more difficult and a much broader show of support if 500 people from a wide range of influences to make a common recommendation.
It's a logical choice. Don't shy away from logic when it comes to google.

If I get multiple links from one domain, will that help my rankings?
Hello, I have developed a relationship with a blogger in my niche. He has published a guest post of mine with a link back to my site. Does it make sense to keep providing him with content to build different links from different pages within the same root domain? Thanks! Ricardo

Backlinking question
Hello everyone! I currently work for a software company that sell's CRM software for product sellers and one of our options along with this service is a website builder option that can provide the client with a website with several different templates to choose from. Currently, we have over 500 clients using these website templates and I noticed that they are all under the same IP address. My question is, in terms of a backlinking effort, would it be beneficial if we included a link to our company's website on the footer on each of these templates? Example could be: Powered by: (company's name) and have the name a link to our site. I'm worried that this could be seen negatively by Google if we dofollowed these links or the fact that they are all under the same IP. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

Building backlinks on sub-pages instead of main page(rood-domain)
Hey Mozzers! I am facing a problem and I need advice. I have recently opened my new website, which purpose is to offer quality articles, optimized for SEO. The problem is that I cannot find the right keyword to use for the main(root) domain (http://xxxxxx.org) as it is consisting of many niches. Is it a good idea to build backlinks on pages (http://xxxxxx.org/the-keyword-for-ranking) instead of building them on my root-domain? So basically, my root-domain will have less backlinks than my pages inside? Please give me some advice and way to act with. Thank you
