        I wouldn't focus on the da of inbound links. I would focus on if they are contextual relevant and earned. If they look spammy--avoid.

        For example:

        1. directory.flashnewz.com => Looks spammy to me
        2. austin.rjabankruptcy.com => Looks better

          Excellent. Thanks. How do I fix the spammy links?  seems like something I can control.
