Relevance or Authority for Links

[qlkasdjfw]

Which one do you weigh more than the other? I prefer high-authority sites over low-authority but relevant sites/pages personally. From my experience, non-relevant'authoritative' websites/pages tend to have a bigger impact than 'relevant' websites/pages.

What do you think? What is your experience?

High Domain authority > Relevancy of site(if it's a low domain site)

I usually find that high domain authority sites even if they are not relevant give you a bigger boost than relevant sites with less Domain authority.

Same here.

If you go to Google and search for a highly competitive keyword the authoritative sites will rank highest.

It is very easy to be relevant - any idiot can do it.  Becoming authoritative is very hard.
