I created a spreadsheet today that shows the Page Authority of all 26 of my new properties (in one ring).
The PA is insanely good for about 15 of the properties. For Pinterest, the PA on MY Pinterest is 94. Not the Pinterest domain--my new Pinterest that I created today. It's 94. That is insanely high.
The PA is abysmal for about 4 of the properties (Weebly, WP, Tumblr, and Blogger).
The PA is N/A for two of them (G Drive and Bit.ly).
My goal was to discover which 20% produce 80% of the power. This way, when I'm building the personas, I can focus on just 5 or 10 of the properties and spend 80% less time, and only lose out on 10% of the power.
Since adding just one property takes more than one unit more of time (because you also have to add it as a Profile Link in every other property) this is not linear, it's geometric.
HOWEVER, I did some more digging. The top ten pages with the highest PA were also pages that offered only no-follow links.
And the weakest sites offer do-follow links.
It took me hours today searching for the sweet spot.
There is definitely a sweet spot...
There are FIVE sites that have BOTH high page authority AND give us do-follow.
They are not the highest PA of all, but they are the highest with do-follow.
