      I been seeing some sites that have 0 ranking keywords but a DA 40 and 0% spam score, would you guys get a link from one of these sites?

        First I'd confirm that the site actually has no ranking keywords. Moz's keyword index isn't as strong as its backlink index, so you might want to scan the site (at the domain level) in tools like Ahrefs keyword explorer or in SEMRush (to help confirm whether there's a real lack of ranking keywords or not). If the site really doesn't rank for anything, I'd question whether they had manipulated their DA and I probably wouldn't go for the backlink
