Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Chris,

I'm looking at expired domains, narrowing them down to only those with good quality link profiles, those with .edu, .gov links, genuine .org links and links coming in from otherwise quality sites. Because it is only the domain, and there are no pages to actually to go and look at, I am wondering if in this situation it matters whether the PA is higher than the DA.

Based on what you said, my guess is it just means that when the site was operating there was an internal page that had higher Authority than the home page, which is fine, but as long as the link profile overall looks good, the higher PA than DA doesn't really matter. Would you go along with that?

That's a good idea to see, on the OSE report, whether there are a lot of links going to one page in particular. I will doing that from here on.

I am seeking links from real estate content sites to promote a free course I have about apartment investing. The response has been good from the first five sites I approached, with three granting links. In putting the linking pages on Open Site Explorer though I noticed on had a PA of 40, but a DA of 28.

Of course I am grateful for the link, but usually it is the DA that is higher. What does it mean when the PA is higher than the DA, and would a link from this page help me?

Any help is much appreciated.
