Hi Kandice,
Page Authority predicts the likelihood of a single page to rank well, regardless of its content. The higher the Page Authority, the greater the potential for that individual page to rank well in search results.

[http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/page-authority](Hi Mark, Appreciate your answer, but I think there might be some confusion as to what Page Authority represents. Page Authority predicts the likelihood of a single page to rank well, regardless of its content. The higher the Page Authority, the greater the potential for that individual page to rank well in search results. More in this article here: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/page-authority Unfortunately, PA isn't influenced by on-page optimization (although this is certainly an important factor for SEO) and links from .edu sites do not inherently boost your PA more than links from other sites. But we all love links from .edu sites. :))
Unfortunately, PA isn't influenced by on-page optimization (although this is certainly an important factor for SEO) and links from .edu sites do not inherently boost your PA more than links from other sites. But we all love links from .edu sites.
In short, the best way to increase PA is to get links from other pages with high PA (or many links from pages with lower PA) These can often be internal links from your own pages, but you'll often see better results from getting external links to these pages.
Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

Kandice,
I appreciate the simplicity of your question. Are you sitting down? This is one of the key fundamentals of basic SEO. Here are the answers.....
Every link you build for your site will be "graded" on the PA of the site you are linking to.
PA is a nebulous term. Thats why its so fun.....its like asking how much does your boyfriend or husband love you. You think its a lot and they might tell you a lot but they only love you as much as they love you.....google and other search engines won't tell you exactly what their algorithm does...so everyone guesses....seomoz domain authority is their guess at what the PA is. (SEOMOZ is kick ass and smarter than you and I and it is probably close to what Googles algorithm is).
If you want to increase your PA on specific pages, build links to your pages from high PA sites. The no brainers are .edu sites......if yu want to identify specific ones that are worth targeting, then use the open site explorer to identify the highest page authority sites your competition is using and then copy them......nothing wrong with that.
An even easier method of increasing your PA that most people forget about is on page optimization. google will look to your site for relevance and quality score for your keywords. if the on page optimization is sold, you will have a higher page authority for your keywords.
Hope this helps. if

JPG's listed as the Top Pages in Moz
In Moz, under Links, my Top Pages are all .jpg's. Is this unusual? Should I change the names of those jpg's and redirect the jpgs listed on the Top Pages to the html page it can be found on?

Like instead of people linking to this page: https://www.freequilt.com/cat-and-the-fiddle.html it looks like from the Top Pages that people are linking directly to this image: https://www.freequilt.com/images/nursery-rhyme-series/cat-and-the-fiddle/moona.jpg
My thoughts are to rename that image so no one is linking to it, and redirect the image to the html page. Would I be hurting my Google ranking any by doing so?1 -
Impact of distribution of backlinks across multiple pages
Community, I would be interested to see if anyone has been seeing any experiments, experience documentation, or other data that would give context around the impact of pointing backlinks not just to your money page / home page but distribute it across pages. When doing competitive research I often run into competition which has lower domain strength and page rank but a link profile that is more spread out across their domain; these competitors often outrank my site despite their individual page properties being weaker. Any reference to existing documented experiments, personal experience or guidance is welcome.

Should I link from my blog back to my product pages?
Hello... I just installed a blog on my Magento site. My question is whether or not i should be linking within posts on the blog back to the product or category pages that i am talking about...from an SEO perspective. If in my post i am talking about flashlights being important when preparing for a storm, should i link the word flashlights to the flashlight category on my site? I know I can do this, the question is should i, from google's perspective. A) should i link the word (flashlights) to that category on my page B) should i put a line at the bottom of every post that says something like "if you are interested in purchasing flashlights, visit this link" and hyperlink that whole sentence... THANKS!
