If i get link pointing to a specific page , will that link add up to the count of linking root domains too ?
-
If I create a fresh link pointing to specific page on my site, apart from adding a number to "page linking root domains" does it also add up to root domain linking ?
-
sub-domains isolate the link value and don't allow for the flow of value into the main domain. It's best practice to use sub-folders instead on the main domain that allow for link value or 'juice' to spread through the site - thus - building trust.
Unless a sub-domain could hold and contain it's own content to work apart from the primary root and gain trust and value, I would go the route above. Every situation needs to be clearly identified and reviewed.

How about subdomains?
-
Yes. A link to any page on your site is a link to your domain. Be careful you don't build all your links to one page (or even too large of a percentage) as this could be a red flag to the Penguin algos..

Domain Authority and Page authority for external links. What's the difference in value?
Hi Guys. I understand the difference between page authority and domain authority in terms of how likely that page is to rank. But what about a links from a high DA site, but from a low PA page? We’ve identified a client with extremely high DA (73/100), but their blog page has a PA of 1/100. Would a link from this page be pretty much valueless due to the low PA? Or would it still be quite strong as the DA is so high? Perhaps you could point me to some good reading or Moz post on this topic? Thanks guys. Isaac.

Why is this link from a .edu source not being counted?
The site in question is: http://Ellenensher.com We are wondering why a powerful edu link is not being counted in opensiteexplorer. Is it not being indexed? Or is it some other issue? It shows up in webmaster tools and is a PR 5 link. Let us know if you have any ideas on this issue! http://cba.lmu.edu/facultyresearch/meetthefaculty/ellenensherphd/ Thanks!

Should I request backlinks to use anchor text that is page specific?
I work for a community college, with fairly high seo for the college in general. We have no budget for advertising specific programs, so we are trying to optimize individual pages on the website, e.g., physical therapy assistant, welding, etc. Does it make a difference if other websites use our main url, college name, or the college name plus specific program as the anchor text? Also, I'm seeing some posts here recommending to avoid lots of directory listings. I assume that doesn't apply to industry specific directories, like nursing school directories, right? I'm still a very new newbie and appreciate your advice.
