Understanding DA and PA maths...surely this is NOT correct

I have been using a paid for database of links plus Rs links of course from BHW and I am trying to understand DA and PA and UL (Ahrefs term ...basically link value after taking account of outgoing links I believe) maths

Many profile links and free site builder links for example have high DAs and PAs and corresponding ULs. SO in theory are great links (but see ps s below) . In fact MUCH better than your average PBN link you pay for in terms of DA PA and UL. metrics .... or for that matter what I would call a real organic link .

Is that a correct interpretation.or are these metrics misleading for profile links, free website builder links web 2.0 links and the like which surely must have a low link value ...........

What is the correct maths or approximate maths as obviously only Google know.

What is the possible relevance and traffic discounts Google will apply ....

I do realise there are lost of other factors but nevertheless is the maths I am using correct or not !!!

Please can someone clarify

BASICALLY HOW DO YOU CALCULATE LINK VALUE FOR DIFFERENT KINDS OF LINKS AND METRICS?

ps they index well via Blogger method so not worried re non indexing issue

pps yes I REALLY get it the importance of diversity, relevance, link speed growth and traffic issues but never the less the maths I have shown is still too flattering surely.................

ppps in my head I assume Google attaches a huge discount factor if link or page link is on has no traffic ..is that correct.........

It's not clear to me what you mean. We don't know at all what ahrefs and/or MOZ algorithms do to come up with their metrics. Profile links are pretty much all nofollow, so even if they come from high authority sites, their value is not even close to a lower authority pbn site as the later links are always do~follow.

Oh sorry should have mentioned all should be do follow as well I forgot to say that

Basically what I am saying is that the DA / PA / UL type metrics whether from MOz Ahrefs or whoever give higher scores for a good profile link or web 2.0 link (eg one of Rs) THAN they do for your average or even good PBN or organic link.

I am saying surely that cannot be right ...how should you discount the link authority for those kind of links that have zero trraffic etc as if you take the raw metrics from Ahrefs Moz etc they give scores that are too HIGH

Sorry that was not clear ....see below I have not shows the PA and UL but they are good as well given the kind of links they are
