    I have said it before, and I will say it again.

    Anyone selling links based on DA is either incompetent or a scammer.

    DA has nothing to do with the value of a link. What matters is the link profile of the page your link will actually appear on, and unless you can trace a direct link path from the home page to the page your link is on, DA tells you nothing about that.

    People selling links based on DA are almost always just creating profiles on these domains and dropping the links there. They have absolutely no value. You would get the same benefit from a link on a brand new domain.
