    I hope that this will help you --> SEOmoz guys say that - "Domain Authority represents the best prediction about how a website will perform in search engine rankings. Use Domain Authority when comparing one site to another or tracking the “strength” of your website over time.", on the other hand "Page Authority predicts the likelihood of a single page to rank well, regardless of its content. The higher the Page Authority, the greater the potential for that individual page to rank well in search results."

    Domain Authority measures the predictive ranking strength of entire domains or sub domains, Page Authority measures the strength of individual page.
    Page Authority measures the predictive ranking strength of a single page, Domain Authority measures the strength of entire domains or sub domains.

    Page Authority will measure the predictive ranking strength of single page.
    Domain Authority will measure the strength of entire domain or sub domain.

    Domain authority is for the whole domain/website whereas page authority represents on the authority of a certain page. Both can vary from each other.

    Domain authority is a ranking factor in Google which measures a website/domain's authority by the number of credible sites linking back to it. Page Authority on the other hand is a measure of a page's likelihood to rank highly in the SERPs. The higher the Page Authority, the more like the page will rank highly in the SERPs.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    Hi
    Different between page authority and domain authority:-
    I saw many pages; I think Domain authority means reputation of your domain with all pages. But Page authority means reputation of particular page.

    A domain (site) is made up of multiple pages.
    There's a similar relation for authority: domain authority is made up by adding up page authority.

    Many pages with high authority result in high domain authority. You can control this incoming authority flow with internal links and boost most important pages by linking from high authority pages. In example you can have a blog with good articles and link your product pages.

    According to my point of view Domain Authority is mainly based on strength of the whole domain while Page Authority is based on strength of any individual page.The higher the Domain Authority, the greater the potential for an individual page on that domain to rank well.And having higher Page Authority means potential for that individual page to rank is high.

    Its mainly what most everyone has mentioned, its a factor of your keyword within the domain name.
