Links from highly relevant but low Domain Authority sites: Yes or No?

[Jeepster]

We're reaching out to companies that we have a business relationship with (past and present) to find out if they would be interested in linking to us. 
All are obviously in the same industry so highly relevant. But some of the sites are low in Domain Authority (with scores of about 15-25). 
Should we also ask these sites -- or avoid them?

Personally (but just my 2 cents') I would say yes, if they are in the same 'arena' as you and they are legitimate links then I can't see why they wouldn't beneficial - it's all about a diverse link profile, you can't expect to get DA links >45 every time and that certainly wouldn't look varied!

People may disagree but I wouldn't worry unduly, I think a lot of link building is 'gut feeling'

What I would say though is make sure that you document (I use Excel) each link you build \ gain \ earn, it makes life a lot easier if you ever do get a warning!

Cheers!

Thanks for the response. By the way, I'm guessing 2 cents is a Yorkshireman being generous

Ha ha very good - you know 'copper wire' was invented by 2 Yorkshire men fighting over a penny!

I agree with Andy - it's not all about the domain authority and one day their sites may gain in DA anyway.

Just don't go for any spam links.

If you have the opportunity to get those type of links without paying for them and you feel it would get your site on the radar of the audience they have then go for it. If your asking should you spend money to get those links from sites with low da that dont have an engaged following i would say no.

hope that helps
