Here is a list of the most important aspects which helps search Engines determine a link's value:
- relevance - links from pages that cover the same topic as the target page, or are closely related, are worth more than links from unrelated pages;
- authority - authorities are sites that are linked to by most of the sites relevant to a particular content;
- trust - trust takes into account how likely the linking page is infiltrated by spammers;
- anchor text - the anchor text the linking page uses is a powerful factor for search engines to determine the relevance of the target page.
- independence - links from independent, third party sites are evaluated much higher than internal links from your own site;
- cumulation;
- diversity - getting links from different sites adds to the target page's diversification;
- temporal patterns - temporal factors include when the target site gets new links, how link the links existed and how quickly they were added;
- context;
- domain.

There's lots of variable that Search Engines  use to calculate a link's value. It's different from Google to Yahoo or Bing. And none of them share that algorithm though.
However, in most case, a link from a high DA domain, high PA page, and from a high quality content is often considered high value.

Search engines utilize complex algorithms to evaluate the value of a link. They analyze the trustworthiness and authority of the linking website, the relevance of the content on the linking page, and the context in which the link is placed. Additionally, they consider the diversity and quality of the overall link profile, including the number of links pointing to the page and the variety of sources.
The anchor text used in the link also plays a significant role in determining its value, as it provides context and signals to search engines about the linked content. Ultimately, search engines aim to prioritize links that provide genuine value to users, leading to a more relevant and informative search experience.
