Steady Decline in Domain Authority since December 2014

[T-wrench]

We have a site that was at a 32 domain authority in December, and our competition as usually been about a point or two behind us. But since December, we have fallen a point or two after each index and are now at the point of 26 and our competition is up to a 33. The competition did fall a point or two but were able to regain what they lost.

We publish original content blogs over 600 words per blog targeted at our audience twice a week and post to all of our social media channels and have guest blogged linking back to our site. We also updated the look of our site to be mobile responsive to comply with Google's mobile indexing. I did find some spam feed burners linking to our site over 4,000 times and have since disavowed those links.

Has anyone experienced a decline in domain authority in the past few months and have you been able to turn it back around? Is there something that we should look at fixing or something we are missing that could help bring our numbers back up?

Thanks for your feedback, I realized after I posted my question that it was pretty vague description of what we are doing. But thanks for answering, this will help me for sure.

It is impossible for anyone to give meaningful feedback with the information provided.

We have no information about the quality of your blogging on your own site, the structure of your website, how your site update was done, where you are guest blogging, the quality of your guest blogging.... and all of that same information about your competitors.

Domain authority for most sites goes up and down, up and down, down and up.  Stay focused on doing a better and better job of winning the ecstatic approval of your visitors.

Is there something that we should look at fixing or something we are missing that could help bring our numbers back up?

Your focus should be on quality.  Numbers are for entertainment.  Quality is what defeats your competitor - or what your competitor uses to defeat you.
