    Go download SEO Quake. Sites with a pr of 4 and higher can be considered authority sites. Authority sites have a lot of sites linking to them, a ton of content on the sites and have been around for quite some time.

    I just used the Search function of this site (what will they think of next?!),
    and found this thread already in existence.

    Any site that has some real value to offer to their niche, the type of value where as a result most websites in that niche are linking to them.

      Pretty much a site that you concentrate a lot more time on then you would on a small niche site. An authority site is usualy larger in size and something that can be considered one of the more valuable/better quality sites in its own niche. For example, instead of having multiple little niche sites making money with ad-sense, you have 1 large authority site making just as much money if not more than all those niche sites.

    An authority site is exactly that: an "authority" in the chosen field. A good indication that a site is an "authority" is when other LEGIT sites reference it. For example, 2 of my tech review sites are often referenced by other much larger sites (ie. woot.com, fatwallet, etc).

    An ‘Authority site‘ is a site that seems to get an extra ranking boost from the search engines. Somehow, in their analysis of the site and its backlinks profile, the search engine algorithm recognizes a site as being an ‘Authority’. Getting backlinks from sites that are seen by the search engines as an authority are close to being the sorts of links that probably past the most link juice, so they are much sought after.
