Domain Authority Dropped to 1 from 13
-
Hi,
Our domain authority was at 13 two months ago and it dropped to 1 one and half month ago, I waited for MozUpdate but still no luck.
my question is if my domain name doesn't have proper non www to www redirect, moz tool will show authority correctly?
How do I check if redirect is proper for Moz to account it ?
website is working fine though, no problem to redirect from non www to www.com website.
Regards,
Vishal

Also, what links are you building?! Link building the wrong way can definitely backfire.

It will take our tools some time to pick up on recent backlink growth. With any luck, our tools will find and index those new links to your site that you've been earning, and you'll start to see your Domain Authority increase over time.

Hi,
When DA was at 13 we had 0 backlinks. no social traffic or nothing just paid traffic.
now I started link building some tools shows 16 some 5 but pretty sure at least 2 links are there,
Just saying that 0 backlinks DA was 13, now 2 backlinks from DA90+ and it dropped to 1.

Hi Vishal, Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.
As long as you've got a redirect properly in place from the non-www version of your URL to the www version, or vice versa, that should be enough for our tools to follow and find links pointing back to your site. It sounds like Martijn, below, is correct - your site probably isn't well represented in our Mozscape Index. Luckily, just by searching for your site with Open Site Explorer, you're prompting our crawler to visit your site, so hopefully within the next one or two index update cycles you'll start to see your Domain Authority improve.
Martijn is also correct that working on improving your backlink profile is one of the most effective ways of boosting your Domain Authority - that's a great place to start!
I hope this helps! If you've still got some questions for us, feel free to give us a shout at help@moz.com.

Hi Vishal,
Usually 1 will mean that Moz didn't include your domain in their latest index. Which is also bad news as it means you didn't have enough links from other sites to really pop up in their search across the web. What I would focus on is building links so in a future update you will be included. In this case it won't mean much as DA 13 was not super high and might have caused you to drop out on the next update.
Martijn.

Page Authority higher on my old (redirected) domain than new domain?
Hi everyone. I moved the domain my blog was on about 18 months ago, and it's ranking in Google never recovered. I've noticed in the 'Inbound Links' tool that my old domain (jamescrowley.co.uk) shows a page authority of 26, while my new domain (jamescrowley.net) shows a page authority of 15. Any idea why that would be? 301 redirects have been in place for the whole 18 months, so I'd have thought the authority would have been 'passed on' by now? Many thanks James

Is there any study or detailed report on How Moz & Google calculates domain authority ?

MOZ doesn't work for .dating and .chat domain extensions
I have been a MOZ subscriber for a few years now. I don't think MOZ works for .dating and .chat domain extensions. I have 2 sites that have authority 1 despite back links. Here are the details: https://oooo.dating > DA = 1 https://talk.chat > DA = 1 oooo has 221 links (Google search console) talk has 1317 links (Google search console) May be a MOZ staff member can look into this. If you are customer and use some of the newer domain extensions please share your details if you have the same problem.

Top Pages Report References URLs from a Different Domain
I am running a Top Pages Report using Open Site Explorer and it's returning that the top pages for examplesiteA.org are examplesiteB.com. Important to note that examplesiteA.org was a dormant domain for a few years. We recently purchased it and are in the process of reviving it. Has anyone experienced this before? Would this suggest that canonical link elements were put in place prior to it going dormant and that the top pages for this site are now assumed to be on examplesiteB.com?

Why is OSE showing a higher Domain Authority than Moz?
Moz has today run monthly reports for 2 of my clients' sites. For both of these, the Domain Authority reported on the Moz dashboard is several points lower than that shown by OSE today for the same sites. Why would that be?

Why does the number of the total external links and the followed linking root domains between Open site explorer and the campaign in Moz pro doesn't match?
Opensiteexplorer returns 52.473 total external links and 715 followed linking root domains while my campaign in Moz analytics return 35.899 total external links and 1092 followed linking root domains. Does anyone knows how this is possible?

Domain Authority still down
It was mentioned several weeks ago (http://moz.com/community/q/domain-authority-drops) that there had been a 2 point drop in the DA, and it was to be fixed at the "next" index. The index refresh happened 17th Jan but the DA seemed to remain the two points lower than expected. Is it just my sites 😞 or has this not been fixed yet... and will it be fixed? Regards, Gordon
