Hello sir i noticed that my DA is Dropped From 27 to 26 Of this website https://www.hinditechgyan.com/.
What is the reason I don't i try a lot to find a solution but not get . But I notice that in google webmaster tool the domain linking increased every time but on the Moz.com, not domain added even my DA Dropped. Even When i checked my site on https://ahrefs.com/ he shows approx 350 domain with high da and pa.
help me i am getting frustrated.
Is that Moz is crawling All domain Fairly or not ?? -
@stuartmccloud are you sure 400 quality links for your given website?
-
My DA has dropped since yesterday https://www.overlandexpress.co.uk/
Have added around 400 good quality backlinks to the domain in the last month and it is really disheartening when something like this happens. 75% of the links added are do follow and are from domains with a higher authority than ours.

Same here, my blog https://www.ilgirasoleverde.it/ lost DA today

@himan232 Hi! It might be due to some Google changes. As it's already been mentioned, optimizing your content can help, and building links to your optimized content could definitely give it a big boost. I'm with BASE Search Marketing and that's all we do (create content and build high-quality backlinks). Don't hesitate to reach out if you need it for your site or for your client's site!

My DA was 14 on Moz and now it seems to be 13.
But, on Ahrefs it shows that my website (https://dbdpost.com/) has DA 7. Why is that? -
Hi,
The Domain Authority of my website https://chiropractorgoonline.com/ is also dropped in the last 4-5 days. an I know the reason for what is going on? Thankyou! -
The website https://www.zehlm.com has also dropped, but not a few points. The last Google update, which was within the last week, diminished the DA and PA to "0". The thing here that doesn't add up, is that the SEO score according to Seobility is a whopping 99%. All of the code is valid through w3c and there are at least 8 keyword phrases that are above 88% on individual SEO scores.
Really is strange. I don't see this type of nonsense in other websites. Could this be sabbotage? -
My SItes faced same issue. https://www.startech.com.bd/ Can anyone explain why?
-
AFter buying some high DA dofollow links, my site https://www.packlt.lt dropped as well. Not sure if coincidence or penality
-
Same here, the domain authority of my website https://awanaidirmawan.com dropped significantly from 12 to 5, can I know the reason for what is going on? Thankyou!

The same also happened with my website "blueseotools.com" initially the authority was 18 but suddenly dropped to 1.8. please help!

Domain authority (DA) is a metric used to measure how authoritative a domain name is. A higher DA means that the site is more trusted and authoritative than others.
The DA of a website is calculated using several factors including backlinks, page rank, age of the website, etc.
As we know, the number of backlinks is directly proportional to the traffic of a website. So, if the number of backlinks increases, then the traffic of a website will increase.So, if the number of links decreases, then the traffic of the website will decrease.
In this article, I am going to explain what causes the drop in the number of backlinks and how to fix it.
What Causes Backlink Drop?There are many reasons behind the link drop. Let's discuss them below:
-
Google algorithm update
Google updates its algorithms frequently. Sometimes they do it without any warning. In these cases, the search engine may penalize websites that have been ranking well previously. -
Website redesign
If you have redesigned your website recently, then chances are that you might have lost some of your previous rankings. -
Low quality content
When you write articles for your blog, make sure that they are high-quality and informative. If not, then you should consider writing guest posts instead.

my website ranking and authority has dropped in recent time https://www.hashtagacademy.in is there any new update in google ?
-
@rishu578 Perpase the answer is that your competitors are going up in DA, indirectly lowering yours by surpassing your position.

Hi Everone,
Our website(https://www.buddyloan.com/) was having a DA of 28 and suddenly it dropped to 23. What would be the reason? I have checked the backlinks. there was a drop in no.of backlinks. what other factors can I check?

I recently experienced the same issue with a sudden drop of DA on Moz for our site https://fashionfinder.online/ - has there been a recent update?
Thanks! -
The same thing I have noticed with my website https://www.techtricknews.com/.
I have disavowed several backlinks and updated theme few times. And guessing that this might be the reason for dropping DA from 15 to 12.

100% agree with Zee

Both good answers above. Chiming in here to echo what's been said, and point out that it's unhelpful to track your domain's DA from Moz month over month because Moz's DA:
- is to Moz
- is not used by Google
- is subject to change, pending updates Moz makes to its own DA algorithm
I would, instead, focus on figuring out how to make your domain stronger with and without links. You may very well need to focus on building links to your site to increase authority and exposure, but you may not be able to accomplish that unless you create content that is "easy" to promote, and compels other websites to link to you.
Hope this helps.

See my relevant answer to an older, similar question here:
https://moz.com/community/q/why-did-my-site-s-da-just-drop-by-50
"Keep in mind that PageRank (which is used by Google to weight the popularity and authority of web pages, yes it's still true even after the little toolbars got deleted) does not read, utilise or rely upon Moz's DA metric in any way shape or form. DA is a 'shadow metric'. Since Google took away our view of the simplified PageRank algorithm (TBPR - ToolBar PageRank, which is dead) people working in SEO needed a new metric to evaluate the quality and ranking potential of web pages
Moz stepped in to supply this (in the form of PA / DA) but Google still use PageRank (they just don't show it to us any more). Whilst Moz's PA/DA metrics are a good 'indicator' of success, Google isn't using them (at all) and so they do not directly affect your rankings"
Only someone from Moz can confirm why your DA dropped, but it may have dropped for a reason that wouldn't impact or effect Google rankings in the slightest (so don't panic yet!)
-
No, sir, i didn't make any changes
-
Hello Rishi,
Have you made any changes to the site?
DA is a concept proprietary to Moz, it was recently recalibrated which may explain the drop - https://moz.com/domain-authority-2.0

Automatic links from other domains when we create a new landing page - Is this a spammy technique?
Hi everyone, Recently we've discovered 2-3 sites (which we own the domains names) and these sites seem to automatically create links to our new landing pages on our main site. Those sites also can't be accessed in your browser as it redirects straight to our main website. So, for example, we create a new landing page on our main site, and then Moz has been picking up links to this page from these other domains with text such as "Book now". I think historically someone in the company set up loads of sites with redirects and there must be something automatically happening. Is this likely to be a spammy technique? Ie we seem to be getting "follow" links from other domains every time we create a new page." Also as this could be quite a negative thing we've discovered I can't really give our out business links, but really appreciate your tips and advice. I'm trying to work out what to do if this is a spammy technique and also affecting our trust scores etc and what we should do about it. Thanks for your help and input. 🙂Mike

Advice on buying a domain name for a valuable link
There is an expired blog which scores well for a search term I'm interested in. I'd like to know if people think it's a good idea to buy it to get a link essentially? Also, if I buy the domain and the content is wiped, does anyone have any tips on what I should do in regards to content to maintain the domains value? I don't generally look to buy domains for links but on this occasion it could be worth the effort and expense.

2 links going to same domain but different pages
Hi, How is the link juice distributed when you have 2 links in the same article but they go to different pages on the same domain? I know some say if 2 links go to the same page in an article then only the first link passes juice. Would it be better to have 2 articles each having 1 link or 2 articles each having 2 links?

Unique Domains vs. Total Links?
At what point is there diminishing returns from getting multiple links from one website? Edit: To clarify, when doing competitor research I come across lots of sites that have say 500 linking domains with 5000 total links. When setting goals and calculating the types of links I should go after, I'm not certain which number is the one actually helping the site to rank.

Exact Match Domain Names
Basically without a doubt having a exact match domain name is a massive benefit. If you targeted a keyword with 2 different sites one with an EMD and one without, I could quite easily expect the EMD to pop up page 1/2 and the non EMD site to be 10 pages deep. I'm going to be honest, I hate how much weight is put on the EMD, Domain brokers are focused on purely finding these, buying them up and selling them way above there worth. Google needs to realise this is a massive problem because I see sites with great content, great moz trust and rank being outranked by a EMD that sits on a squeeze page. Question: If no link building was taking place on the EMD site, lets say it ranked page 2, position 4 but you was linking building on the NON EMD how long to get it up to the EMD site?

Question about forwarding domains and link juice
We currently have a domain that has a small amount of inbound links: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.1800wecoach.com/a!links We decided to switch over to a different domain name, which currently has 0 inbound links. What we were wondering is which would be better: link to the new domain from the old domain in a prominent location on all pages. or forward the old domain to the new domain? does forwarding a domain pass linkjuice?
