Domain Authority Trending Down?

[Digital360]

Hi All,

Can anyone (preferably a Moz representative) explain why Domain Authority has been trending down on multiple domains?

I suspect there is a new index in place? And / Or algo changes?

This is making life very difficult for us as our client www.cleanawater.com.au has been working very hard to implement only the whitest of white SEO models.

As the number can change due to make-up and size of the Mozscape index, I've always tried not to think of the DA as an absolute number and just use it as a comparison with the site's competitors.

It doesn't really matter what it is, as long as it's improving relative to the online competition!

Honestly speaking right after reading this I looked in to my domain authority and it went 2 numbers down too! J

I believe it has to do with the Mozscape index so if Mozscape come up with a big index probably the number will go up but if the index will be small in size from the previous one the number will go down.

But you are right the best answer can only comes from a Moz’s representative.

Hope this helps!
