Domain authority

Will a link from a website with a high domain authority but a low page authority help my site build authority and rank?
The reason I ask is I have the opportunity to get a .edu link however its on a sub-page with no page rank or authority.

Yup - it should help. If you have influence over the domain, try to make sure that the page will get linked to from another page on the domain that has page authority already. There could be a danger that the page you get a link on is not naturally crawlable on that domain, and thus wouldn't naturally picked up as spiders crawl that domain. You could also try linking to it from an external source to make sure the link would pick up page authority eventually.

According to SEOmoz, ‘Domain Authority measures the predictive ranking strength of entire domains or subdomains, Page Authority measures the strength of individual page.’
Whenever a new page has been created, the PA of that page should be none and then with the time people stated link to it and PA grows with time…
Usually .EDU links are promising links (no matter from a sub page) so I think you should go for it because with time the PA will increase… and this link is surly going to help you in many ways…

Impact on backlinking with https://www.domain or https://domain
Hi, this questions have bugging me for a long time now; we check our website how is indexed on Google and we see that we have most of the backlinks for URL https://www.speedhub.eu , but 15% are linked to https://speedhub.eu , in the past we had our website for http requests redirected via 301 htaccess to https://speedhub.eu without giving it importance, now we have it with www included. Bottom line questions: Is it important if your links are with www or without www, do you lose "link juice" by splitting your backlinks via links with www or without www ? Does Google make a difference for domain positioning via this criteria ? Best regards,

What's more important page authority Vs domain authority?
Hello everyone, I am fairly new to SEO so I'm still trying to get my head round everything, I am currently looking into some back links .. well looking at competitor's back links to copy. I was just wondering what's more important page authority or domain authority? So for example if a page has a page authority of 50 and a domain authority of 10 is that better than if a page have page authority 10 and a domain authority of 50. Thanks so much in advance!

Domain authority through blogs
So, I was looking at my competiton, and noticed that they have 4 times the amount of link that my page has. I noticed that they made a blog on almost every free blog hosting available (like webs.com, jimdo.com, .weebly.com...) And every blog has a high domain authority (and poor content) with links to their page. Is this helping with their domain authority? Should i do if for my page too? Thank, M.

Why Aren't Authority Links Showing in OSE?
Hi, we have created quality hubpage networks and squidoo lenses for the purpose of driving qualified traffic to our sites and generating authority backlinks. The backlinks from squidoo and hubpages are all dofollow, have been shared via social networks and are indexed in Google, why aren't any of them showing in OSE? Many thanks in advance, Lee

Mutiple domains pointing on the same web site issues
We have in out company lots off different domains pointing to the same web site (On for most major countries actually...) . Unfortunately this was done by having all the DNS names to point to the same IP address to the target web site, and not by using a redirect as should have been done. As most of the pages on the web site are linked internally (All the pages of the site links at least to the front page), this resulted to have all the different domains linking one to each other causing artificial external backlinks to our main .com web site. I just wonder if google is giving us a penallity for this backlinks ? Also this causes the same content to be shared among different domains, resulting probably to self competition for keywords. Should we now remove all other domains resulting to a loss of these "artificial backlinks" ?

Looking at Page Authority of a link to our website... what Page Authority number should we use in deciding the link is junk?
What are the Page Authority ranges? 1. Excellent link 2. Moderate 3. Total junk link Of course you look at the anchor text you can use, how many links are on the site, how often it is cached. Thoughts?
