Did anyone else notice a DA Drop this week?

I have our site + 4 other competitors' sites in my SEOmoz campaigns and all of the DA's dropped by 1 or 2 points. Has anyone else noticed a drop this week?

Two months ago, all of these websites also went down 1 or 2 DA points, then some of them came back up a point the next month.

What's going on?

Thanks

No, it didn't change how the metrics were calculated, but as the index size and contents varies each time, the data that is put into the metrics changes each time. What you're doing is what we recommend -- pay more attention to how you compare to your competitors each time rather than how you compare from crawl to crawl.

My DA and PA both went down 1 point also.

Did that change "how" the DA and other metrics were calculated? It's just a little strange to see the sweeping changes where all of the sites I'm watching go up or down by the same amount.

Thanks for replying!

We updated MozScape yesterday, so all of the metrics were updated as well. That should account for the change!
