I am losing 1 point of DA at month? What could it be? I have noticed I have lost 50K (out of 300K) of internal links after a website update, could it be related to that?

Thanks.
Definitely part of the strategy more digital PR actions to increase the quality of the external links, rather than quantity.

Hello
You should use quality backlinks on your site. And you should update your site content, then your DA will be increased. You must try these two things on your site, then your site DA will be definitely increase.
Thanks!

Hi Alberto,
I don't believe that losing internal links will affect your DA, so losing those internal links shouldn't have made your DA drop. Although I'd make sure that you intended to lose those 50k links and that you still have a good internal linking structure.
DA is calculated by Moz using a bunch of different metrics, so a score going up or down could be caused by a number of things. There is more information on Domain Authority here, but here are the reasons why DA may go up or down:
- Your link profile growth hasn't yet been captured in our web index.
- The highest-authority sites experienced substantial link growth, skewing the scaling process.
- You earned links from places that don't contribute to Google ranking.
- We crawled (and included in our index) more or fewer of your linking domains than we had previously.
- Your Domain Authority is on the lower end of the scoring spectrum and is thus more impacted by scaling fluctuation.
Overall, it is the volume and quality of external links to your website which will affect your DA, rather than internal links.
Having said that, I wouldn't worry too much about DA dropping by a point, this can happen sometimes and I'd focus more on the long-term.
I hope that helps!

And you have no incoming links to your domain, dropping at the moment?

Website crawl error
Hi all, When I try to crawl a website, I got next error message: "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal cookie name" For the moment, I found next explanation: The errors indicate that one of the web servers within the same cookie domain as the server is setting a cookie for your domain with the name "path", as well as another cookie with the name "domain" Does anyone has experience with this problem, knows what it means and knows how to solve it? Thanks in advance! Jens

Transferring link juice on a page with over 150 links
I'm building a resource section that will probably, hopefully, attract a lot of external links but the problem here is that on the main index page there will be a big number of links (around 150 internal links - 120 links pointing to resource sub-pages and 30 being the site's navigational links), so it will dilute the passed link juice and possibly waste some of it. Those 120 sub-pages will contain about 50-100 external links and 30 internal navigational links. In order to better visualise the matter think of this resource as a collection of hundreds of blogs categorised by domain on the index page (those 120 sub-pages). Those 120 sub-pages will contain 50-100 external links The question here is how to build the primary page (the one with 150 links) so it will pass the most link juice to the site or do you think this is OK and I shouldn't be worried about it (I know there used to be a roughly 100 links per page limit)? Any ideas? Many thanks

Website Pop up
I want to install a pop up on my site for collecting email addresses. I use nopcommerce as my platform. I was quoted a price to custom develop it but thought there might just be a simple plugin. I can find them for wordpress but that is all. Does anybody have experience with this?

Is there a way for me to automatically download a website's sitemap.xml every month?
From now on we want to store all our sitemap.xml over the next years. Its a nice archive to have that allows us to analyse how many pages we have on our website and which ones were removed/redirected. Any suggestions? Thanks

Website is not indexed in Google
Hi Guys, I have a problem with a website from a customer. His website is not indexed in Google (except for the homepage). I could not find anything that can possibly be the cause. I already checked the robots.txt, sitemap, and plugins on the website. In the HTML code i also couldn't find anything which makes indexing harder than usual. This is the website i am talking about: http://www.xxxx.nl/ (Dutch) The only thing that i am guessing now is the Google sandbox, but even that is quite unlikely. I hope you guys discover something i could not find! Thanks in advance 🙂

Ranking Internationally
Whats the best URL strategy to rank for one term in different countries? We currently rank well in Australia, but are tackling many countries over the next few months. The page I am ranking is http://www.spendbitcoins.com/buy for the term 'buy bitcoins' or 'buy bitcoins in Australia' (replace Australia with each specific country, i.e. New Zealand, Japan, etc.) These are the strategies I have come up with, is one of these good or is there a different better way? Use country specific TLDs, pulling the content from the same site w/ translations Use country specific TLDs and create separate sites and create completely original content Use country specific TLDs, forwarding to the primary domain use a subdomain from the same site modify the page link to be something like spendbitcoins.com/buy/new-zealand Don't worry about any of this and just get links from sites with the proper TLD
