I have a question re backlinks from 2 different sites linking to me. And when I say 2 sites, I mean ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL (so we won’t go off on tangents about relevancy, ******** vs nofollow [though, for the sake of the article, both will be ********], number of on-page outbound links, etc).

Site A, NY Times, whose page (a relevant article) with 0 backlinks has a link to my site.

Site B is a Wordpress blog with an OK backlink profile (say, Moz DA rank of 30) whose page (an equally relevant article with the same length and depth as the NY Times’) has 1000 backlinks, and this page links to my site.

Which backlink will be worth more to my site? Site A page’s or Site B pages? Again, for the sake of this argument, we’re assuming ALL OTHER ELEMENTS are the same besides the backlink profiles. Thanks!

Does the NYT link have a high UR? Or is it some deep inner page on a sub domain, etc?

I'd vote NYT unless it's ridiculously deep, but that'll be determined by UR.

Show me the Ahrefs stats. No more Moz trash. How much traffic does Ahrefs say each page gets?
 
I'd take a link from a page which has more visitors
 
It's like comparing a fillet steak with a MaccyD burger.

Site A, NY Times, whose page (a relevant article) with 0 backlinks has a link to my site. = The NY Times if it's a featured article will have more traffic than 99.99% of blogs.

If you're meaning just for SEO purposes, then again the NYT link.
 
This is a great question and I'd like to see what others think.

The ideal situation would be to get a link from the NYT and then build tier 2 links so you have domain authority and page authority.

The second site will definitely be good for your site, a mixture of both types of links are essential for good rankings.

If it was a straight decision on 1 or the other, I would personally go for the NYT.
