      I have been guest blogging on various websites. The web pages that display my guest posts have zero page authority but a great domain authority of 60/100 or more. 2 links I developed are noted below as examples:

      • http://www.evancarmichael.com/Small-Business-Consulting/8101/How-To-Hire-Extraordinary-Salespeople.html

      • https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/4195/blog_posts/28772-4-essentials-for-rental-property-owners 

      Am I wasting my time with this?
      Thank you!

        No, the page authority is earned by the links it gets from other sources. If it is a guest post it is probably a new page, therefore it has no authority yet, but it will earn it over time (the most links it gets the better (shares, etc)).
