All My Metrics Improved from Last Month but Domain Authority Decreased
-
Hi SEOMoz community! My site's Domain Authority has decreased from 43 to 41 since last month. I cannot figure out why. ALL my metrics (Domain MozRank, Domain MozTrust, External Followed Links, etc. have increased. See attached image. Is Domain Authority a ranking system based on your peers? Can someone better explain the Domain Authority algorithm? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hmm, our DA is back up to 43 with yesterday's crawl.
Thanks EGOL.

**My site's Domain Authority has decreased from 43 to 41 since last month. I cannot figure out why. **
Have you ever used a voltage meter or a sound level meter? You can see flux in the digits or a little jitter in the needle?
How about getting on a digital scale. The number moves around if you shift your feet, move your arm or even fart.
DA has the same type of flux.

Hi, this is interesting, I see that you increase a lot the links. What kind of links did you build? I think that the links drop down your authority. Lets see what the most experienced members will say.

Domain authority drop
Hi SEOmoz gurus, The last 2 months I am seeing a drop in the Domain authority for some of my clients. Some of them are old sites. Some are new (less than 6 months old) For the old sites I thought the reason for the drop might be caused by discounting the value of low quality backlinks. But this cannot be the case for the new sites - they have high quality backlinks from newspapers and I can't make any sense of the drop. Has anyone else experienced the same issue? Might this be caused by a change in SEOmoz algorithm? Thanks!

What's the best way to switch a campaign from sub-domain tracking to root domain tracking?
I realized after the fact that one of my campaigns also has a mobile website sub-domain that I'd like to track (ex: http://m.website.com). How can I switch this campaign over to root domain tracking without deleting everything and starting over?

Domain redirection www or without
when i start campain for the first time it says " "Roger has detected a problem: We have detected that the domain www.xxxxxxtour.com and the domain xxxxxxtour.****.com both respond to web requests and do not redirect. Having two "twin" domains that both resolve forces them to battle for SERP positions, making your SEO efforts less effective. We suggest redirecting one, then entering the other here." How to resolve this and how can i redirect xxxxxxtour..com to www.xxxxxxtour.com ? Thank you
