How much Page Authority passes?

[danielpolo]

Hi,

I have a little question maybe you Mozers can solve me.

I have a friend has a website, highly reputated (Page Authority 73 / Domain Authority 69), actually my website its a 30/17 score. Just have 6 domains roots linking to me.

My question is, how much of that linkjuice will pass to me in numbers?

There are so many factors that go into play when figuring out how much a certain link will benefit your SEO.  I wouldn't look to quantify it if I was you.  Just be happy that your friend shared some link love.  Maybe you should buy him a Coke!

You could also try and build absolutely zero more links after this date and see the change. Tongue firmly in cheek

- Mike's answer is correct.

Hi Daniel,

Disclaimer: I'm not a data scientist and can't speak to the mathematically specifics of how much "juice" a particular link will pass in terms of Moz Metrics (Domain Authorithy, Page Authority, MozTrust) but I can tell you the answer depends on several variables, including but not limited to:

• Specific authority metrics of the linking page
• Number of links on the page

And from Google's point of view especially, factors such as the position of the link on the page, relevance of the page/domain and anchor text are just a few considerations at play.

In fact, beyond the pure mathematically calculations, there are literally dozens of factors that determine the value of link. For a good introduction to the subject, one of my all-time favorite blog posts was written by my boss Rand:

Hope this helps!
