Hi Kandice,
Page Authority predicts the likelihood of a single page to rank well, regardless of its content. The higher the Page Authority, the greater the potential for that individual page to rank well in search results.

[http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/page-authority](Hi Mark, Appreciate your answer, but I think there might be some confusion as to what Page Authority represents. Page Authority predicts the likelihood of a single page to rank well, regardless of its content. The higher the Page Authority, the greater the potential for that individual page to rank well in search results. More in this article here: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/page-authority Unfortunately, PA isn't influenced by on-page optimization (although this is certainly an important factor for SEO) and links from .edu sites do not inherently boost your PA more than links from other sites. But we all love links from .edu sites. :))
Unfortunately, PA isn't influenced by on-page optimization (although this is certainly an important factor for SEO) and links from .edu sites do not inherently boost your PA more than links from other sites. But we all love links from .edu sites.
In short, the best way to increase PA is to get links from other pages with high PA (or many links from pages with lower PA) These can often be internal links from your own pages, but you'll often see better results from getting external links to these pages.
Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

Kandice,
I appreciate the simplicity of your question. Are you sitting down? This is one of the key fundamentals of basic SEO. Here are the answers.....
Every link you build for your site will be "graded" on the PA of the site you are linking to.
PA is a nebulous term. Thats why its so fun.....its like asking how much does your boyfriend or husband love you. You think its a lot and they might tell you a lot but they only love you as much as they love you.....google and other search engines won't tell you exactly what their algorithm does...so everyone guesses....seomoz domain authority is their guess at what the PA is. (SEOMOZ is kick ass and smarter than you and I and it is probably close to what Googles algorithm is).
If you want to increase your PA on specific pages, build links to your pages from high PA sites. The no brainers are .edu sites......if yu want to identify specific ones that are worth targeting, then use the open site explorer to identify the highest page authority sites your competition is using and then copy them......nothing wrong with that.
An even easier method of increasing your PA that most people forget about is on page optimization. google will look to your site for relevance and quality score for your keywords. if the on page optimization is sold, you will have a higher page authority for your keywords.
Hope this helps. if

Page Authority or Domain Auothority? Which one is more importan when having an external link pointing to your page?
Im about to make a deal with another site. We are going to exchange some links from some blog posts. In order to make a fair deal, I assessed some metrics for our posts. Basically, this site have better Domain Authority than my site (30 vs 25), but the page authority of their blog post in which they want to insert their links pointing to my site is 1 for each of them. On the other hand, the page authority of my blog posts they are interested in is 13. My dilema is about being resonable to set a good deal for both of us. So, my question is, which one matters the most when it comes to external links? page authority or domain authority? My intuition is that I’m in a better position than my counterpart. Thanks.

Domain Authority and Fixing the site
Ok, so let's say I have a page on my site that says "Find a Personal Injury Lawyer Boston" Obviously that is very competitive and it is hard to get links for. However somewhere else on my site I have an article that says "10 mistakes to avoid when making a will." In theory, if I can get links to the "Making a Will Page", that increases the domain authority of my entire site, and boosts the likelihood of ranking for "Find a personal injury lawyer Boston." Is this correct? Let me know and thanks for your help!

How to improve domain authority
I'm having a terrible time with one of my sites - it's a new (less than 1 year) business, and I have accounts

in a number of social media sites including Houzz, but Moz acts like there's only one link to the site. DA is 1.
Ugh. She has pretty good traffic for a small local business, but I'm tearing my hair out over this.

Content of the Product Page
Hi Everybody : how can you tell if the content on the product pages are accessible by google ? please have a look at my product page : http://www.fireplaceproducts.co.uk/stoves/aarrow-stoves/aarrow-ecoburn-defra-wood-burning-stove/ i used classes in product page to set the key features, construction ,... i notices other companies done these as text and they get better ranks do you think that's the reason ? also to test that i added the text exact same as the key features , construction ,... as additional information at the end of the product page , would you thin that would be considered as duplication ? Kind Regards Arta

Google penalizing sites because of press release pages?
Does anyone know of situations i can look up where Google penalized a site because of press release pages (hosted on a non owned major site like prweb or whatever), where the prweb page obtained back links from a group of sites that Google felt was part of a "farm"?

Dirty Link Profile - Suggestions?
Ok, so I was just hired to do SEO for a company and so I did a backlink analysis. As it turns out, they've got a pretty dirty link profile - footer links, white on white links, unrelated links, tiny font links, links from penalized sites, hardly any branded links... you get it. I was thinking about taking the worst of the worst links, removing them and leaving the rest, just to clean it up a little. I don't want them to get penalized.... but... I don't want their rankings to drop either. Think I should leave them all and just start building relevant, branded links? OR Clean up the whole link profile? OR Just clean it up a little?
