Trying to see which one has more relevance when looking at back linking, if it;s what more important, Domain or Page Authority?

Thanks for you response!

Ditto Bevelwise. We see Page Authority as gaining much more rank this year. Link's from pages with low page authority seem to have very little effect.

Short answer: Look at both. Long Answer:The page authority is more important in my opinion because that is the page that would specifically be passing link authority to your site. You may find a page you are trying to get a link from and it may be a really strong domain but at the same time it's a very large website and your link is 6 levels deep in the architecture and has a low page authority. The link from this page with a low page authority would be a weak link, which is why I say page authority is more important.

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
Link Building | | chill986
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.
Any suggestions?0 -
Link value from high authority domains vs low authority domains. How big is the difference?
Hi Guys. Could you send me in the direction of some quality information on link value. i.e) How much 'link juice' do you get from high authority domains vs low authority domains. Also, I understand the Moz value for DA is logarithmic, not linear. Does this also mean that a link from a site with a really high DA would be exponentially higher value than a site with a low DA. You know....like orders of magnitude better? Cheers in advance, I love you guys 😉 Isaac.
