Which would you chose? Link on PA56 with 88 OBL's and 80 IBL's or a link on a PA75 with 225 OBL's & 40 IBL (Same Domain)

Which would you chose? Link on PA56 with 88 OBL's and 80 IBL's or a link on a PA75 with 225 OBL's & 40 IBL (Same Domain)
Pretty self explanatory. I want to know what metrics SEOMozzers rely on most. If you are not an expert at evaluating links for large scale development please don't muddy the waters on this question with a thin and vague answer.
-
Just the basic PageRank logic, nothing too fancy. I purposely didn't want to drill into quality and nature of each individual inbound link. The element that did bother me in that decision was whether the IBL's were unique domain or c-block. Other than that what wins is the fact that there are fewer outgoing links on the page I'm getting link from. I assumed this was external outgoing backlinks (not counting internal links, nav, footer etc).
-
Care to elaborate on why?
-
Depends. How trustworthy vs spammy are we talking here? Need more info really - why not link the two pages or two similar pages on another domain so we can judge
If we assume the strength of the inbound links is measured by the PA, then I dont think the quanitity of IBLs by themselves are significant. (How many individual domains are linking, what anchor text etc?)
If the 75 is the homepage, id take that, as I think a 75 homepage can easily support 225 OBs without penalty. (altho both 80 and 225 could easily be spammy)
Otherwise Id take whichever is the closest to the content of your website and gives you a link from within a paragraph of text

My choice: Link on PA56 with 88 OBL's and 80 IBL's

Removing Domains From Disavow File
We may have accidentally included the wrong domains in our Disavow file and have since removed most domains leaving the only very highly rated spammy links (using moz's new spam score)in the file. How long can it take for to google to recognise this change?ThanksMike

Reddit website, what do link provide to users? I'm little confused about do-follow and no-follow.
I share an example with you. Please check and tell me. Why MOZ tool saying this link is do-follow link. But actually the link is no-follow. Here is the link- https://www.reddit.com/r/Bloggers/comments/8i46q4/top_service_industries_who_should_opt_for/ OlCxIyS

Why does a word show as 'Google en-US Mobile Friendly' = FALSE when it also shows that it ranks 3 on mobile?
I pulled a recent report for all words I'm tracking locally and it states that a specific term ranks #4 on desktop and #3 on mobile. But in separate columns, specifically "Google en-US Mobile Friendly" that same terms shows as 'FALSE'. Any idea what this means? Thanks!

Is there a simple way, using the moz tools, to get a count of inbound internal links for a given URL? Seems simple enough but I'm having trouble finding that specific data point.

Finding a list of all inbound links
Hello. I just used Open Site Explorer to find inbound links to a site. But it does not seem to list all inbound links. I will be changing a lot of urls on the site, and I would like to put in 301 redirects only for the pages that have links to them. Is there a way to find all inbound links and the specific pages they link to? Thank you!

Crazy competitive link analysis, 1 - 40 - 38
I'm seeing very strange results on my competitive link analysis. It used to give me a fairly constant domain authority of 38, now one hour i'm seeing 1, then 38 then back to 1 but if I look in opensite explorer it says I have 40. The same weirdness is having to every other stat in the section both in the overview and more detailed section. The same thing is happening with one of the other competitors i'm comparing my link profile with. What's going on?

Link Blocks
Sorry, perhaps a noob question. In relation to site explorer, have also searched and unable to find any information, wondered if anyone could advise as to what "Linking C Blocks" are? Found under the "Compare Link Metrics" tab. Thanks in advance. Lee
