Which is more valuable domain authority or page authority?
Very clear explanation by Devanur. I always look at PA for my clients and when we broaden the scope I take DA in that picture together with MR/MT for the domain and subdomain. Since a couple of months I started using a sheet based on the OpenSiteExplorer.org competitive analyses. That explains a lot but also lets my costumers see that there website is changing (improving) which is also quite important off course. So mainly focus on the PA, then DA (with or without MR/MT) depending on the scope of the project. Regards Jarno

Which links are most powerful
Getting the right links is a complicated answer, but I will try to help with a list style format. Here are the questions you should ask yourself: 1. Does the site I want links from fit within my audience? If someone sees my link on a site, is it relevant to where they will be compelled to click on it? 2. Does the linking domain have a high pagerank, page authority and domain authority? 3. If I get a link from the domain, is the link a "followed" or "no-follow" link? 4. Even if the factors listed above are high, do I want this site linking to me? 5. Do other sites like mine link from this site? Is it releavnt to my industry or service? Is it local in nature or nationwide? 6. Is it a paid linking platform? Sites that you can get links from for $5-70 are generally not good places to get links from. Google has become very harsh on paid links. Even if it looks tempting becaise you see a competitor doing it, try to think of the long term health of your site. 7. Look at where your link will be placed. If it just gets dropped on a directory page full of competition and links, I doubt you will get any value from that. Not only from a user perspective since they will not be able to find your link amongst the clutter, but also from an SEO perspective. Hope this helps!
