Getting a link from a page on a site with high site DA but low PA?
-
Does anyone know if it is still worth it getting a link from a page on a site with a really low Page Authority - say a news page on a site that has an SEO Moz tool bar PA of just 1 or 2, but the domain of the site has a high DA like say 83
Is this worth getting??
Thanks

I completely agree and yes this is just my opinion however I am concerned that for example .gov sites etc are the exception and not the rule. I think if you were deciding wether to have a link from a .gov or .edu site then yes it would be beneficial however if it is just a 'trustworthy' domain the impact would depend on far more factors (topical) than simply the trust that the domain holds.

This is just opinion...
I think that if you get a link on loc.gov or kids.gov or sites like that... they will be kickass links no matter how low the pagerank or how many outlinks are on a page. Those links are really really hard to get and really really hard to get links are really really valuable.
They are like letters of recommendation from The Pope.

Thanks, the pages I am looking at seem to be new pages on a site, with no links into them, hence have a really low PA. But the DA is really large for the site....so wondering how good and valuable these links are...
-
Sounds good EGOL but do you think the same amount of trust is gained from a page that is linking to enough pages that there is no longer has link juice to give (assuming that is the case)?
-
I view it like this.... high PA is mainly going to pass good linkjuice... however, high DA is going to pass something even more special and that is "trust".
I would rather have kickass DA and low PA than the opposite.
-
In my opinion, no. I would assume that if the DA is that high and the PA is that low then that page is already linking to a large number of other pages and that it does not have much more link authority to pass.

Links from highly relevant but low Domain Authority sites: Yes or No?
We're reaching out to companies that we have a business relationship with (past and present) to find out if they would be interested in linking to us.

All are obviously in the same industry so highly relevant. But some of the sites are low in Domain Authority (with scores of about 15-25).
Should we also ask these sites -- or avoid them?0 -
Links between own sites cause bad pagerank?
Many people say PR does not matter, but for me its an indicator that links from a domain with higher PR may rank better. My client has a about 4 different travel-sites of very different kinds of travelling. His sites are not ranking bad but all sites have just a PR 0-2 although the content is unique. I made the experience that even sites with few content will have at least a PR of 3 after some years with no SEO effort. One reason is may some part of duplicate content (4 Tours begin in Manaus, so the description for Manaus is on all the 4 Tour pages the same) but another is that the pages have few external links but many of other sites he is owning... like: also check out this -> link to another own site. Question: If I take all these links away (they even don't cause many referrals at all) - will this have a positive effect on rankings? Means trying to have always more external links from not self owned sites is a good start? Thanks for sharing your experiences Holger

Buying High PR Sites
Is it possible to buy old sites that no longer have a site up that has a high PR? Can I just put up another site about anything I want and rank well for it? I see that my link profile (anchor text) will not support my on site SEO. However, could I link to another site and pass page rank with this tactic? Please discuss... Especially those doing this...

Is purchasing internal page links from directories worth it?
Since data suggests that only the first link on a page to a singular URL is counted, are the deep links purchased from directories worth the money/provide any value?

Mobile sites link strategies
Hi, I am working for a large mobil-site (+200.000 pages), to improve their SEO, and am trying to figure out the best way to set up a linkbuilding strategy for the site. The urls are very dynamic and often rather long so deep linking is difficult. Any input/ideas would be welcome 🙂 Jens Peter
