Page Authority on Huffington Post

[1MS]

I was looking into my website backlinks and noticed that a link Huffington Post post has only one page authority while the other post has high page authority like 30 or 40.

Please suggest what can be the issue. Thanks!

Hi Mahendra,

The page authority could differ because of age of the post, amount of back links to the post, length of the post in comparison to the others, social shares etc. - but, in my opinion, don't bother with page authority too much.

Rather focus on the domain authority. This should give you an overall picture about the website and link building possibilities. Try to compare websites instead of particular pages of just one website.

Hope it helps, Martin
