Hi Kandice,
Page Authority predicts the likelihood of a single page to rank well, regardless of its content. The higher the Page Authority, the greater the potential for that individual page to rank well in search results.

[http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/page-authority](Hi Mark, Appreciate your answer, but I think there might be some confusion as to what Page Authority represents. Page Authority predicts the likelihood of a single page to rank well, regardless of its content. The higher the Page Authority, the greater the potential for that individual page to rank well in search results. More in this article here: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/page-authority Unfortunately, PA isn't influenced by on-page optimization (although this is certainly an important factor for SEO) and links from .edu sites do not inherently boost your PA more than links from other sites. But we all love links from .edu sites. :))
Unfortunately, PA isn't influenced by on-page optimization (although this is certainly an important factor for SEO) and links from .edu sites do not inherently boost your PA more than links from other sites. But we all love links from .edu sites.
In short, the best way to increase PA is to get links from other pages with high PA (or many links from pages with lower PA) These can often be internal links from your own pages, but you'll often see better results from getting external links to these pages.
Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!

Kandice,
I appreciate the simplicity of your question. Are you sitting down? This is one of the key fundamentals of basic SEO. Here are the answers.....
Every link you build for your site will be "graded" on the PA of the site you are linking to.
PA is a nebulous term. Thats why its so fun.....its like asking how much does your boyfriend or husband love you. You think its a lot and they might tell you a lot but they only love you as much as they love you.....google and other search engines won't tell you exactly what their algorithm does...so everyone guesses....seomoz domain authority is their guess at what the PA is. (SEOMOZ is kick ass and smarter than you and I and it is probably close to what Googles algorithm is).
If you want to increase your PA on specific pages, build links to your pages from high PA sites. The no brainers are .edu sites......if yu want to identify specific ones that are worth targeting, then use the open site explorer to identify the highest page authority sites your competition is using and then copy them......nothing wrong with that.
An even easier method of increasing your PA that most people forget about is on page optimization. google will look to your site for relevance and quality score for your keywords. if the on page optimization is sold, you will have a higher page authority for your keywords.
Hope this helps. if

Link juice - What could be the reason for our bad internal page Page Authority
So OK we have a domain authority currently of 41, we are well established but unfortunately we don't have any pages with PA. I have a fair idea of why this is the case but want to get some other opinions before I form my strategy. 1.It appears our internal link structure is not great and is not very organised 2. It appears we have 58 links going externally on some pages. Some of these external links are social media icons in the footer which are followed. Is there any other factors I should be aware of when building PA on some of my inner pages. Any Thoughts would be appreciated.

Domain Authority and Page authority for external links. What's the difference in value?
Hi Guys. I understand the difference between page authority and domain authority in terms of how likely that page is to rank. But what about a links from a high DA site, but from a low PA page? We’ve identified a client with extremely high DA (73/100), but their blog page has a PA of 1/100. Would a link from this page be pretty much valueless due to the low PA? Or would it still be quite strong as the DA is so high? Perhaps you could point me to some good reading or Moz post on this topic? Thanks guys. Isaac.

Best way to get over the Hump (from page 2 to page 1)
Hello, I've recently been able to bring my site way up in the rankings for some very competitive keywords. I've done nothing spammy, and everything has been done with a lot of detail and a focus on only using the best techniques. My site is on page 2 for a lot of keywords. What would be your suggestions for getting over that hump and making it to page 1? I'm happy with my results (coming from pages 30-50 to page 2 over a couple of months) but I'm not satisfied and won't be until I can be on the top of page 1... Any suggestions are welcome... Thanks

Are Links/Resources pages considered spam?
I'm dabbling with link building in a non link-happy industry, traffic safety (IE Traffic cones, barricades, safety vests, etc...). We currently are doing #RCS in terms of giveaways for college students as well as discounts in a wider EDU Outreach campaign as well as legitimate guest posting. I have started to use Link Prospector, and got a list of links/resources pages that we can get info from. I found some great links through here, including ways to get links from higher-profile .gov domains, but was wondering if it is worth it to go after the high(er) quality links/resources pages. By higher quality, I usually set a floor of a DA 25-30 and have a limited amount of external links per page. These would be for branded keywords (IE the company name/domain) and not exact match anchor text. I'd really like to see how other SEOs feel about this.
