I agree with both responses, I would like to add my experience to the mix, my site decreased in Domain Authority and Page Authority due to the loss of a few sites that were no longer linking in a few months ago, my site is relatively new and the Domain Authority went from 20 to 18, it has since increased to 19 after a few new sites linked in so that could well be the reason for your DA drop, I am not aware of any recent Google Updates but I do know that my Moz DA was updated a few days ago so that may coincide with your recent drop, I am not sure how often Google updates the link data in GWT so it may vary from what you see in OSE and Majestic SEO, as Chris says, the historical link option for Majestic SEO is very handy and the data seems to be updated quite frequently also.
Hope this helps

Agree with eyepaq that Google Webmaster Tools is the starting place. And if there is no Manual Action notice you may still have an algorithmic penalty. There can be many other reasons for your drop in rankings both on page and off page. But if your concern is your backlink profile there are a few other tools in addition to GWT and OSE. Take a look at Majestic which has a historical view that can show lost links. And if you don't mind paying there is always Link Detox.
Best of luck!

Hi,
It's not about having domain linking to you that can cause harm (unless you have a manual action that will be visible in Web master Tools under Manual actions).
In a lot of cases, if it's related with the link profile, is that you are losing some links or Google stop counting some links that they consider bad.
First step would be to look into Web Master Tools and see if you have a manual action - site wide or a partial one for un-natural links. If that is the case then yes, you will need to review the links in your link profile and identify the bad ones and remove as many as possible and disavow the bad ones. (including the ones you remove).
More on disavow here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487?hl=en
If you don't have a manual action then the issue might lie elsewhere ... again expect from the fact that you might lose links or google stop counting some. For that you need a tool that shows the history - how many links did you gain and lose in the last months or so...
Hope it helps to get you started.

Keyword are not ranking
Hello, Recently We have a taken a project " http://customerconnect-services.com/ " and are responsible for the Digital Marketing for the website. FYI, we have been following the best On-Page SEO practices ever since we took the project: Performing Keyword Research, Finalizing the Keywords,Using those in the Page-Title, Meta-Descriptions, Heading Tags and of course in the Content as per MOZ suggestions & SEO standards. But, we are unable to rank in first page; all the considered keywords have a ranking of 51+ which is a serious matter of concern for us. We have also checked whether the Domain / URL has been blacklisted, but it's not (Not even by Google). We are therefore unable to figure out what is going wrong even after following so many best practices to get the keywords a good ranking (1st & 2nd page of SERPs). Therefore I would like to request you to provide your expert opinions in this regard by checking what is it that we are not getting right. The website is euro t20 slam As this is a high-priority issue for us & the client is a prestigious one of course, please help.Looking forward to hearing from you at the earliest.

Would you consider these domains spammy or at risk for penguin penalty?
I'm doing a bit of competitor backlink auditing and am curious how you view these domains? I also am doing this for others as a comparison and growing reference maybe of domains that they can crosscheck with their own backlink profile and make sure these aren't on there, in preparation for penguin algo release to core. Either chime in with known domains to be spam, and I will create a live list based on answers here. Domain Domain Rating directoryworld.net 64

Photography Site ranking!
Hi I am working on a photography site: www.daffodilwaves.co.uk now there isn't many pages nor is the that much text. However you will see that they have a blog (poorly designed one which we are addressing) Now blog posts I feel can be really good as there is generally alot of naturally written text which I don't feel I need to influence. Also generally people will comment so I also believe that is good for rankings too. However I find that the blog ranks higher than the actual website and I dont want that to occur the website is the one that generates the bookings. So can you give me some ideas to transfer the ranking from the blog to the website? I was thinking that within the article I could simply link back to the homepage - would you think that is a good idea? If so would you suggest I use particular anchor text? such as "Wedding Photographer" or "Comtemporary wedding Photographer" Thanks

Keywords Ranking Secret?
When I searched "long dresses" in Google.com, and found the following page is ranked on top 10 http://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=long+summer+dresses But there is no back link pointing to this page, so why does this company manage to rank high for such a competitive keyword without link building? Any opinions?
