Big drop in Moz Domain Authority in the latest mozscape update
-
hi,
Before Moz were forced to roll back the moz scape I saw a drop in all 3 of my campaigns domain authority;
42 > 39
39 > 35
24 > 22I am employing differing tactics on these campaigns, one of which i would say leans towards the less white (the one in the middle of those stats). The other 2 however are all clean.
So, did anyone else see a drop in DA before moz retracted the figures? was there an issue with the latest moz update?
Thanks in advance.

Hi! There wasn't an issue with the latest moz update in terms of metrics, it was a different problem that caused us to roll back, and we hope to be back to the current dataset tonight. Here's a post with some more information: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/23586982-Mozscape-API-Temporarily-Rolled-Back-to-March-19-Index-

Overall I saw many of the sites that I monitor falling 1-3 points during the last update. It seems that the scale was raised a bit. However, one site where we are working very hard to earn quality links moved up 3 points against the trend. Maybe the data I'm seeing is flawed but it appears that the trend was that a lot sites saw a subtle drop.

Moz Domain Authority [Megathread]
Hey Moz Community, We've noticed that there are questions about Domain Authority, what it is, and how to positively impact it. We're here to answer your questions! For a full overview, please see our help hub article here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority First, it's important to keep in mind that Domain Authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score developed by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search engine result pages (SERPs). It is not a Google ranking factor. Domain Authority scores range from one to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a greater likelihood of ranking. Since DA is based on machine learning calculations, your site's score will often fluctuate as more, fewer, or different data points become available and are incorporated into those calculations. For instance, if facebook.com were to acquire a billion new links, every other site’s DA would drop relative to Facebook’s. Because more established and authoritative domains like Facebook will have increasingly larger link profiles, they take up more of the high-DA slots, leaving less room at the higher end of the scale for other domains with less robust link profiles. Therefore, it's significantly easier to grow your score from 20 to 30 than it is to grow it from 70 to 80. For this reason, it’s important to use Domain Authority as a comparative metric rather than an absolute one. The best way to influence your DA is to improve your overall site health with a focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site. Check out this video for more details on how to impact DA Happy analyzing!

Understanding Moz Opportunity and Potential
Hello Friends - I am just learning Moz tool via Udacity I was doing some analysis using Moz for the following keyword "digital marketing courses" This is the result what I get. Moz tells me the opportunity is 83. This is a high number and does not reflect what I see when I search in google. The page is full of ads. A organic click is going to be very difficult.

Moz potential also says 79 - again a high number which does not seem to be the reality. It is going to be very difficult for a new service to rank higher. I have fundamental doubt on whether SEO will work on keywords which are in high demand by paid ads. more that 30% of the real estate on screen gets taken by paid ads. Even if one searches for long tail key word the story remains same. Does SEO really have a chance to compete with paid ads for business driving keywords? pub0 -

Last Linkscape Update?
Has anyone seen their competitive link analysis update in the last 2 weeks? My campaign summary says the last linkscape update was on the 21st Dec but the data is still showing from November. Looking in the full analysis section especially the timeline confirms that it is only going up to November. OSE also seems to show the old data.
