      Suppose an old established site's root has High PA, High DA & High MR scores but the TBPR is significantly low.

      Can it be taken as a pointer that Google has algorithmically capped that site's  ability to pass link equity when the home page metrics look suspect?

      Example case: pegasusdirectory*com

      PA = 88, DA = 86, MR = 6.61, but TBPR = 3 ( aged site )

      (p.s: I'm aware that on inner pages of sites, it's quite normal to see high PA, Page level MR but no TBPR; my question is specically about guaging quality of the link for the DOMAIN in question

      Should I spend time on getting links from such domains ? ) TIA

        I would do some Google searches for the primary target keywords for the domain in question. If the site is ranking well, then you can bet that Google likes the site regardless of what the tool bar says.
