Why did my Domain Authority drop all the way to 1
-
The Domain Authority on my sites has dropped all the way down to 1. This seems to have happened recently, although i'm not sure when or what the ranking used to be. Could this have anything to do with the "catastrophic failure of the hard disk" on 1/8/2016?

OSE seems to be locating your links - up to over 3500 from the other day when I saw was like 300. So I would say when the index refreshes next, you'll see this return. If not, hopefully tech support can help more because it's definitely a weird issue. Headers look fine, robots is ok, no meta robots blocking it & I can crawl with Screaming Frog ... so yeah. No reason other than the glitch that I can see.

https has been in place for years.

When did you make the change to https? Could that be a recent change?
Love your robots.txt but the sitemap is wrong/invalid as well. That can't help many search engines find you.
I would think you're right and that the crawl lost your data and then hadn't re-found your info yet. If you look at Just Discovered links it shows a bunch from the last few days but nothing before Jan 1.
If the HTTPS is brand new, I could see that being it ... but yeah, does look like you got lost in the system. Weird glitches need squashing!

Hey Brad!
This does seem suspicious and will have our devs take a look. I may not hear back from them right away. Will keep you posted!

Navigation pages with a PA 1
Ok, you guys probably think this is a new website and i should just wait, but this is not the case.
API | | Forresult
We have 2 websites (old) websites with a DA of 34 and a DA of 19 and high PA values on the mainpage. Our problem: All the other pages stay at a page authority of 1. One website is build in Magento and one in Wordpress. Both websites have deeplinks, footerlinks en in-contentlinks. The other pages don't get any linkjuice according to Moz. We don't use any robot noindex,nofollow or nofollow links and the menu structure isn't the problem. Is anyone familiare with the problem? I know is shouldn't be concerned about PA/DA, but i just can't explain what's going on.0 -
Is everybody seeing DA/PA-drops after last MOZ-api update?
Hi all, I was wondering what happend at the last MOZ-update. The MOZ-health page has no current errors and i've checked a lot of websites probably about 50 a 60 from our customers and from our competitiors and everybody seems to have a decrease in DA's / PA's. Not just a couple went up and down like normally would happen, but all seems to have dropped.... Is anyone seeing the same in their campaigns? Greetings,

Domain Authority - 10 point drop. Should i be worried
We have had a steady rise over the past year and as the DA results came out i was extremely disappointed to see a 10 point drop. Competitors have also dropped but not by this figure. We have been continuing with the work we have been doing all year. Not the best news to have to share with the client. Would you use DA as a KPI or is it a little unreliable?

Does any one know if there is a tool out there built with the Moz API where you can feed in a large list of URLs and get back Domain Authority?
Does any one know if there is a tool out there built with the Moz API where you can feed in a large list of URLs and get back Domain Authority? Has anyone used the API for something like this before? Thanks! Max
