Domain Authority Drop 4 Points

[Jaiveer89]

Hi,

Our DA has dropped 4 points overnight, looking at our competitors they all seem to have dropped though none as significantly as us?

Has anyone else noticed a DA drop?

Kind regards,

Just for the sake of documenting it, our DA dropped 5 points too, our main competitor dropped just by 2 points. We have 1.4k backlinks, they do have 140k backlinks.

Same story here. Ranking has dropped from #5 on the search we want, down to #7. DA dropped by 4 and competitors dropped too. Main competitors DA dropped by 9 though!! One of the main differences between our site and our main competitors is the number of outbound links they have. We have around 700 and they have over 20,000. Yet our ranking has dropped but not as much as their DA...

Confused

We dropped 4 points, also more than our competitors. However, our ratings have improved aside of Linking C Blocks. If anyone has more information about this, I'd love to hear about it.

Our Google ranking has stayed the same thus far even through the update.

Hey there! Yep ours dropped by 2 points overnight and competitors did the same.

Ours dropped by two points. This is some BS.

Open Site Explorer updated yesterday, so that might have something to do with it. Domain Authority can change, depending on the index. [If you look back over old questions, you see that this comes up every so often. http://moz.com/community/q/domain-authority-drops#reply_209933 ]

Our dropped two points as did our competitors. I wouldn't worry too much. I'm curious if this is a result of the most recent Google Penguin release.

Ours dropped 5 points. We moved from http to https in the meanwhile, I don't know if that is related.
