      Hi,

      I have performed a search on a root domain and the page auth is higher then the domain auth?

      I would have thought they would have been the same or at least the other way around!

        If a large site had a strong link profile for one page and then thousands of pages with no links or low value links then that one page may be worthy of a high authority rating but the domain as a whole probably wouldn't.
