Drop in Domain Authority across 20 sites
-
Hi
I monitor and track 20-25 sites. I got a -1 in DA across the board this month. Has anyone else experienced this. It's possible my server/cms guys have made a global change.
Has anyone at Moz or anyone in the community experienced this?

Hi Andrew,
Yes DA scores change a lot over time. I have noticed more changes this month than usual though. I was a little concerned when my scores went down one (1) on average, but it looks very widespread. Moz may have made some changes to their scoring model or something. We like most people have been working hard to get our scores to go up.
Best Regards

Hi Andrew,
This question is asked a lot on here.
Fluctuations in DA are going to happen as each Mozscape update will be different and may not pick up the same links to your site.
You should check other tools to make sure you haven't actually lost any links that may be causing the decrease, but you shouldn't really be concerned if your DA decreases sometimes.
If you haven't seen it, Rand did a Whiteboard Friday on the ins and outs of DA/PA which you might find useful: https://moz.com/blog/link-count-metrics
Cheers,
David

I should add that not all of these websites are ours, but many are competitors'.

That's a little reassuring. I think. At least we're both in this together.
Anyone else?

Hi. I track 32 websites and many of them saw a drop of 1-2 in DA this month. 7 dropped by 2, 7 dropped by 1, 15 stayed the same, one dropped by 3, one by 7 and one by 8. I didn't have a single one improve.

Domain Authority dropped by 9!
Hello Mozzers, I have logged onto MOZ this morning to see that my domain authority has slipped (seemingly overnight) from 61 to 52! The competitors i track have also slipped but not as dramatically as me and my domain. Is this an expected change in the algorithm? Have all industries been affected? Any help / explanation would be very much appreciated. Ben

Open Site Explorer results are not satisfactory.. is there any issue with it?
Hello Folks, I am trying to check back links of one of my competitors through Open Site Explorer, but the results it is providing is not satisfactory. Competitor URL : goo.gl/xMXHk7 Results provided by OSE : Number of Internal Links : 23 Number of External Links : 100 While the external backlinks provided by other free tools are quite different and more in numbers.. and here I am paying to get accurate data.. Just wanted to confirm whether I am using this tool improperly, or any issue is going with this tool? C6JPxGE
