Domain Authority Trending Down?
-
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!

Why is Link Explorer showing the same domain strength for domain and sub-domain? Shouldn't it be different?
I believe in the past the sub-domain score was different than the domain score in Link Explorer. Now I am seeing that it is reporting the same score. I have to use exact page to get a sense of how strong the sub-domain is.

Will Moz move DA from an old domain to the new?
Hi folks, I'm moving a digital magazine of mine, which has a great deal of authority (DA53!) to a new domain, which is much more brandable. I'm curious if Moz ever passes the actual DA/PA numbers to the new domain. Does the tool pick this up, eventually? I know once the domain is switched, DA will show a "1" -- as the domain is brand new, technically. This is NOT a question about authority/link juice being passed, but rather the numbers being displayed by Open Site Explorer. Some authors do look at Moz DA as an indicator of a sites "power" before applying for authorship, so I'm trying to find a way to move to a more brandable domain, while keeping the OSE stats in place. If it's not possible, I'll have to live with it 🙂 Any input? Thanks everyone!

Does the inbound links report include links to all pages of the domain being researched?
If I enter 'abc.com' am I only getting results for 'abc.com' or will I get results for the internal pages of 'abc.com' as well (i.e. 'abc.com/page1.html)? There is a bit of a discrepancy between these results and inbound link results in semrush for example. Then again it seems whenever you use different tools to measure the same thing you get wildly varying results. How do you all deal with that?
