PA and DA
-
Over the past couple of monthly updates I have notice both coming down a bit even though nothing has changed that should affect them. Anyone else notice this? Perhaps it is attributable to better metrics?

thanks very much Keri

Here's a help page about our DA calculations that may help http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/domain-authority. The short answer is that DA can change because of the way we calculate DA and because our index changes each update.
-
Think of these metrics as relational. As Google tweaks it' algorithm, based on what's going on in the world of search, OSE/SEOmoz might update the criteria of discounting certain kinds of links, and the flow of internal and external link juice. Their dataset also is expanding and as they read and discover more data, the overall metrics change, impacting the scores. I would relate them to your competition and see how you are doing to get a big picture rather then worrying too much about the movement within your website. It's very very useful data regardless.
I hope this helps.

The metrics are in a constant state of update I'd guess.

DA stuck at 1 for .financial TLD domain
Hello! One of our clients has a domain with a .financial TLD. The domain id over two years old. We have been creating a lot of good content (including articles, infographics and videos) every month for over 12 months. We have also been creating backlinks and the Search Console shows a total of 1319 links to the site from 64 root domains. However, the DA and PA on Opensiteexplorer haven't moved from 1. Also the number of linking root domains shows as zero. Traffic and keyword rankings haven't picked up either. Could someone please help with why this would happen? Is there anything to do with the domain TLD of .financial? Thanks in Advance

DA dropped 7 pts in one week as well as our competitors. Is something going on?
We have consistently had a 70 in DA and now all of the sudden we are at a 63 as well as seeing the same considerable drop among our competitors. This was odd as I have not seen this type of drop in DA since being with the company. Any ideas are appreciated.
