I have 2 questions regarding guest posting..

1. Are do-follow backlinks from nicherelated guestposting increasing your site DA/PA? (lets assume they come from a midrange PA/DA blogs themselves)

2. Are they still viable as offpage seo or only as a traffic source?

    Your both questions answer is YES.

    1. No-follow link : These links have hidden powers that make them just as important as followed ones.

    2. Guest posting : Guest posting is the one of the good options of building backlink for your website (but you should doing guest posting in reputed sites )

      This has to be a troll...

      Nofollow links do absolutely nothing for SEO, the one millionth time this has been said on these forums.

    da = domain age. meaning a backlink will not increase the age of your domain.

    and yes. do follow links are the only links that actually help rankings. no follow links do nothing for seo

    Actually DA\PA means Domain Authority \ Page Authority, not age

    Guest posting is important from SEO point of view but you need to use high ranking websites for guest posting.

    If you are guest posting on blogs with actual readership and authority, then yea of course there is some value there.

    If you are trying to guest post just for linkbuilding purposes then honestly I would rather just hire out some PBN links. Same thing in the end.

    Effective only if you are getting a link from link within the content not from Author Bio.

    Simply the answer is Yes.
    I hope you already have got a clear idea on your first question.
    Guest posting is still effective in both ranking and traffic.
