How Is The Quality Of Backlinks Assessed In Open Site Explorere?

[sunilmuse]

How do I asses the higest quality backlinks using the Open Site Explorer tool? Is there a measurement that ranks the highest quality backlinks for a given search?

Thanks.

Open Site Explorer should display the Page Authority and Domain Authority scores for the inbound links listed. Those scores are out of 100, and the higher they are the better. A quality link could have either a comparatively high Page Authority, Domain Authority, or Both.

What's the minimum amount of page or domain authority to go for? Are there any scores that would be too low?

Is there a way to assess whether competitor's backlinks are indexed in google using OSE?
