I collaborated with good quality travel bloggers DA30-40 with guest posts and after one year some articles on those travel bloggers have Page Authority 1, Page Moz Rank 0, Page Moz Trust 0.
And some articles on travel bloggers have good metrics PA 20, PR 5, PT4.
Why is such difference?
Is it because some of them were hidden vs those that have been published on home page?
 
PR5? Really?

This is most likely because PA/DA and everything from Moz is a total crap. Don't focus on completely irrelevant stuff. Are you ranking? Are you making money? Are you getting traffic? That's what you should be focused on. Not some fancy cute number that won't change anything.
 
The articles which got decent metrics might have got shared on social networks while other's did not. Check for those page backlinks on ahrefs or any other backlink checker.

I notice guest post which been posted on home page (with/without sharing on social media) got decent metrics but guest post published on hidden post (which mostly not shared on Social Media) got 0 Page metrics.
Does it mean hidden guest post does not worth anything?
 
Because Moz has a terrible backlink database and crawls a lot less than Majestic and Ahrefs, if it can't find any links in its database it just shows 1 DA 1 PA as default. Try it on Ahrefs and see what you get. They could also have PBNs which are blocked by crawlers.
 
Beside agreeing with everyone that these metrics are crap to look into. You need to see if you are ranking and thats it. If that page is getting you the traffic, thats all it matter. But keeping it aside, its normal to happen. If you publish 100 pages on your post, it might be only 10 of them which starts appearing in search engine, gets traffic, gets shared in social website etc etc. So the other pages in question might have got more links from external places

+1
 
MOZ shows PA1 when they see no backlinks toward that page.
PA is mostly a metric for how many links a page has. ;)
