I updated meta tags on website 2/3 months ago and saw a significant improvements in rankings for keyowrds, however since then I have been dropping back down. I am wondering if this is because of low domain authoriyty. it is currentyly 20. www.babskibay.com

I agree with this really people are obsessed with Page Rank and Domain Authority.....SEOr's need to get their head around the fact that traffic is what REALLY matters.
What if you had a site with a DA of 100 but got no traffic?
So OP what you need to really think about since you have started your seo campaign have you been able to increase your rankings and therefore have you been able to increase your traffic?
Ignore D.A for now.......

True but that shouldn't be the concern
Here's my advice
-
Yes but by giving them a few basic tips they'll increase both traffic and their DA.

Who cares?
You should be bothered about increasing traffic not your DA

Hi,
Overall the design of your site looks quite nice, so well done there. My tips would be:
- Upon looking at your link profile at http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babskibaby.com you have very few links coming in and from only 15 domains. A few of these look like spammy comment type links so I'd concentrate first and foremost on gaining links from reputable sources. Try mum type forums, blogs and sites. Perhaps donate some of your products to a reputable mummy blogger in exchange for an honest review and a few links? We do this in the cookware niche and it works wonders.
- I notice you have FB, Twitter and Pinterest pages so that's good. I'd also add a Google Plus page. Spend less than an hour on it and you have yourself a nice looking page with some links back to your site. Add the icon next to other social media icons in your header.
- Your blog seems to be focused all around your site. The aim of it should be to give hints and tips in your niche. Try blogging about other topics that mums/dads would relate to. Write great content that deserves to be shared and the links will come.
- Your page titles look way too spammy and long. E.g. for the Baby Sheepskin Boots page the page title is "Baby Sheepskin Boots, Sheepskin Baby Boots, Baby Sheepskin Booties | Merrry Berries, Inch Blue, Skibz, Beauty And The Bib". It should be less than 70 characters and focus on just 1-2 key terms. Also, your content is pretty light on. You only have 2 lines of text on that page, and you can tell it's written for Google and not the user. Add more useful content.
Hope that helps!

Linking to urls with Query Parameters good for SEO?
Hey guys, I am currently buying link ad spots on sites (hardcoded, not using ad networks). I track the each link I buy and the sales they generate with query parameters such as : http://www.mydomain.com/?r=top_menu_nav_on_seomoz My question is : do these links still pass link juice? I have my canonical already set to http://www.mydomain.com Also, in Webmaster tools I have it set to ignore anything after /?r= The way I see it, a link is a link. Naturally I would prefer to send directly to my root domain, however, these links cost a lot of money and I like to track my results. Does anyone have experience with SEO and working with query parameters?

Does a page on a site with high domain authority build page authority easier? i.e. less inbound links?
Is this also why people build backlinks to their BBB profiles, Yellowpages Profiles, etc. i.e. why do people build backlinks to other pages that link to them? Wouldn't it be more beneficial to just build that backlink directly to your target?
