Link juice - What could be the reason for our bad internal page Page Authority
-
So OK we have a domain authority currently of 41, we are well established but unfortunately we don't have any pages with PA. I have a fair idea of why this is the case but want to get some other opinions before I form my strategy.
1.It appears our internal link structure is not great and is not very organised
2. It appears we have 58 links going externally on some pages. Some of these external links are social media icons in the footer which are followed.
Is there any other factors I should be aware of when building PA on some of my inner pages.
Any Thoughts would be appreciated.

If you only have outbound links from your internal pages then that should be a major clue as to why you have poor "PA" Page Authority. You need to develop a concerted effort to "Earn" links to your content. Especially from high "PA" pages on high "DA" Domain Authority websites.
There are a lot of ways to earn inbound links but the best way is to create great high-quality content that solves problems or answers questions.
How about giving people a solution to a problem your clients often face. Create your solution pages to get people to go to and stay on your site. People will start to pick up the content and the inbound likes will start coming in.

Internal linking should have a hierarchy. Your main pages or top tier will have the highest pa. Linking within the text to the internal pages should start to allow the link juice flow down the hierarchy. You should make sure when you link to internal pages that there is common ground between the pages. You don't want to link from a page about sports to a page about cooking unless the cooking content is sports related.
Build a strategy around relevance and you will see these inner pages start to gain page authority.

Hi,
You should aldo get inbound links directly to the inner pages to get the PA increase. Prioritise your main landing pages and try to build links on those.

How many links with page authority to beat competition if we already score 62
How many links with page authority do I need to beat or get closer to competitor with page score 78 and domain authority score 72, if we already score 68 on page and 62 domain authority. This is in one of many beauty product markets. I ask because there is a company offering me for $80 each 10 links with higher than 70 page score (up to 80) and higher than 74 domain score (up to 86). All the other factors: number of links and social are almost the same for our website and the competitor's

Why links coming from this page are never found? (opensiteexplorer)
There is a very strong authority and ranking website that has links on it to some of our competitors websites and other companies. I used opensiteexplorer to check if these links were showing up as backlinks on competitors site but I was unable to find them. This 'powerful' page of links has been around for quite a while so I don't think time has anything to do with it. SEOmoz toolbar itself gives the particular page good rank, trust, and authority. Using this website (not sure it has any use) http://rapid.searchmetrics.com/en/ it finds the outbound links and domains. I was unable to find any nofollow or noindex things anywhere on the site.. Just looking at the site and it's links I would think it an ideal backlink target for my company. However using opensiteexplorer I am lead to believe this backlink is never being found? Any thoughts? Cheers

Does focussing deep linking too much on one page have a negative impact elsewhere?
Hi, I'm just starting a backlinking campaign on a new website and am focussing on one deep page for client - focussing a lot of good quality backlinks on that one page. I'm aware that most of the other pages, including homepage, lack good backlinks. Can I go ahead and focus powerful backlinks on that one 'deep' page without a problem, or may that approach result in negative impacts on other pages' SERPs.

Internal Linking - 100 plus links
Hi Everyone, I have a question of how the on-page links are being counted. Say you have a page with a warning of having too many on page links (100+). How are all of these links counted? Let's say there are only 5 links on that page. Do the links on each of those pages count too and so on and so forth? I just want to make sure I have wrapped my head around this correctly. Thanks!
