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.

right now as i am writing , i am creating follow backlinks on different sites , but when i check my websites backlinks list only few show up, for ex: on ahrefs site, refering domains are 13 and backlinks are 40. my question is what should i do to keep both number of refering domain and backlinks just around the same ?

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.

Is listing our media mentions in our News section canceling inbound link benefit?
Long-time Moz user, first question ever! When our company is mentioned in the news, we add a blurb to our In the News section on our site. If we link to the article, is that 2-way link canceling out the benefit of the inbound link from the publication? It's a two-way link, but we aren't trading links with SEO intent or doing anything malicious. Thanks, Sean

Spammy backlinks are working?!
Hello, fellow MOZers. I just read this article of this guy (not myself, I promise 🙂 ) I never heard before: http://stream-seo.com/churn-burn-backlinks-case-study/ According to him SUPER spam is actually helping, and, according to him again, google punguin didn't knock it down either. It looks and sounds all very shady and salesy for all those tools he is mentioning (actually, not just mentioning, but linking to). At the same it looks impressive if it's true. My thoughts are that it's falsified/buttered article, otherwise, if everything he says is true, we would see direct correlation between ranking position and number of backlinks (linking domains). I've been struggling to resist the temptation to try some spammy techniques to get backlinks to see what happens, but, at the same time, my brain says not to be an idiot.
