Site DA and squeeky clean link building

[BobGW]

Hello,

We've got a piece of useful content we're doing outreach for. No sites we have found are in our exact niche, but there are generally relevant sites we're targeting.

What's a good rule of thumb for the minimum PR or DA we should go after to make sure our link building is squeaky clean for the future?

PR1 is a good minimum, but it really depends on your niche and how much resources you have to do this outreach. If you want to make sure you are only getting links from quality sites, I would do a manual review to see if the site passes the sniff test, and also run a backlink report to make sure they're not doing anything shady.
