Domain Authority Trending Down?
-
Hi All,
Can anyone (preferably a Moz representative) explain why Domain Authority has been trending down on multiple domains?
I suspect there is a new index in place? And / Or algo changes?
This is making life very difficult for us as our client www.cleanawater.com.au has been working very hard to implement only the whitest of white SEO models.

As the number can change due to make-up and size of the Mozscape index, I've always tried not to think of the DA as an absolute number and just use it as a comparison with the site's competitors.
It doesn't really matter what it is, as long as it's improving relative to the online competition!

Honestly speaking right after reading this I looked in to my domain authority and it went 2 numbers down too! J
I believe it has to do with the Mozscape index so if Mozscape come up with a big index probably the number will go up but if the index will be small in size from the previous one the number will go down.
But you are right the best answer can only comes from a Moz’s representative.
Hope this helps!

How do I find http backlinks to my domain?
Hi, We spotted a number of sites linking to us from http sites, not https sites. How can I use backlink tools to find just those from http sites? Right now I'm looking at exporting a spreadsheet with 3.3 million entries and filtering - and there's not one person here who wants to do that! Thanks in advance.

Moz error with domain and page authority if no www in my domain
Hello, so our domain is website.com and we do not use www in our domain. Now moz shows our page authority as huge (website. Com) and domain authority very low. But our domain is our page that we rank. Is this due to the fact that we use no www and we rank our main index page? Am I correct? Thanks!

I'm seeing a very large discrepancy between the domain authority for a site I'm tracking and the PageRank. According to PageRank Checker the PageRank is "0".

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
