Getting a link from a page on a site with high site DA but low PA?

[inhouseninja]

Does anyone know if it is still worth it  getting a link from a page on a site with a really low Page Authority  - say a news page on a site that has an SEO Moz tool bar PA of  just 1 or 2, but the domain of the site has a high DA like say 83

Is this worth getting??

Thanks

In my opinion, no. I would assume that if the DA is that high and the PA is that low then that page is already linking to a large number of other pages and that it does not have much more link authority to pass.

I view it like this.... high PA is mainly going to pass good linkjuice... however, high DA is going to pass something even more special and that is "trust".

I would rather have kickass DA and low PA than the opposite.

Sounds good EGOL but do you think the same amount of trust is gained from a page that is linking to enough pages that there is no longer has link juice to give (assuming that is the case)?

Thanks, the pages I am looking at seem to be new pages on a site, with no links into them, hence have a really low PA.  But the DA is really large for the site....so wondering how good and valuable these links are...

This is just opinion...

I think that if you get a link on loc.gov or kids.gov or sites like that... they will be kickass links no matter how low the pagerank or how many outlinks are on a page.  Those links are really really hard to get and really really hard to get links are really really valuable.

They are like letters of recommendation from The Pope.

I completely agree and yes this is just my opinion however I am concerned that for example .gov sites etc are the exception and not the rule. I think if you were deciding wether to have a link from a .gov or .edu site then yes it would be beneficial however if it is just a 'trustworthy' domain the impact would depend on far more factors (topical) than simply the trust that the domain holds.
