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.

Creating a subdomain or subdirectory for each major city for our main website...
If our website is abc.com I am wanting to create a subdomain or subdirectory for each major city for SEO targeting purposes. But I want each domain to go to our see the same content from the main website abc.com. What's the best way to accomplish this? Duplicating our main page over and over sounds terrible , especially when trying to make changes down the road. Should we create an alias for each location? example.. abc.com/new-york, abc.com-chicago, etc...? If we go that route how does google acknowledge that? Would that mess up our SEO or help? Thanks!

How Effective Are Links Between The Same Company's Websites With Different Domain Extensions?
Morning! The main competitor of an eCommerce site I'm working on has a total of 31 sites for 31 different countries. Each one of these sites has a different domain extension (.com, .co.uk, .fr, .it etc.), and every single one of these sites' pages links to all the other homepages through a dropdown menu on the navigation bar. When I pop the .co.uk URL (our main competitor) into Open Site Explorer, I'm advised they have a 45,079 links from 475 domains. If I look at 'just discovered' links, most are from their own sites - I guess MOZ picks these up every time a new page is created. Now, these guys are huge in the UK. They rank in the top 10 for pretty much every single search term and, to put it into some kind of perspective, their Search Metrics score is 33,000 compared to our measly 160! Don't get me wrong, they do get some decent links from authoritative sites, but it seem most of their links are from their own sites. How does Google view these? Does my competitor have these thousands of 'internal' backlinks to thank for their current position? I've just checked their .kr URL and this has 12.5 million(!) links from just 450 domains. Do every single one of these links pass equity? Or does Google just look at one from each domain? Thanks, Lewis

Does the number of people who click on a link to your site from another domain influence your domain authority?
Say you have a link to your site on the BBC, is it the fact that you're being linked to from a domain of very high authority that boost your own domain authority or is it dependent on how many people actually click on your link from that site? Any insights much appreciated!

Custom Domain Vs Free Sub Domain for SEO
What is your take on custom domain vs free sub domain for SEO? (example.com vs example.blogspot.com) Say if I have 10 links from 10 different domains but all hosted on blogger.com, will it still have the same link benefit as ones hosted on different hosting account? I am assuming it might be less due to the same C class IP appearing for blogger hosting. What do you think?

Should I be Improving Domain Authority?
Hello I work for a company that deals in Collectibles and runs a collectibles news service. In the UK our site ranks on the first page for the keyword "collectibles". We wish to strengthen this position and increase our rank on the US Google. I'm going to be working on Keyword Optimisation for the site, to hopefully make many of our pages more relevant and improve the rank. However I feel we may be held back by our Domain Authority score. Our Google PageRank and MozRank are both low due to the fact we don't have a huge amount of external links to the site. Is this something that will potentially hold us back? Should I be working on improving this as before the site optimisation? We are well set up for a content based strategy due to "News" nature of the site. My ownly concern with link building is i've heard that it could potentially negatively effect us. Or is the risk of link building only really associated with black hat methods? One last thing. I've been using the Google keyword Tool to judge competition for specific search terms. Is this useful for organic search? Or is it only relevant for PPC? Sorry to be a pain with all these question! Thanks
