Domain Authority

Hi There,
I'm in a state of panic as my site has been progressing well however today I log into Moz and see the DA drop by 12 ! this has never occured and was increasing nicely over the last few months.
Does anyone know if there has been a global change that may be effecting my site. Or any issues with Moz DA tool?
Any help is greatly appreciated
-
I was so confident ours would increase been working so hard
sad times all around

Thank Godness, we're not the only ones. We lost 8 points in DA and there was total panic since all in all, we had been gaining some fantastic links from very notable media sites and were looking forward to a higher ranking and then suddenly WHAM!.
Whew! this cheers me up.

Agreed, read Rand's post it explains it well. I just finished creating a spreadsheet of us and our competitors with their PA/DA scores and rank for our #1 term, which I will use as a measuring tool going forward. PA/DA is important, but not as much as your ranking.

Thanks for that Ria. Ill get to that post right now

Check out Rand's explanation of the huge fluctuations in DA/PA this month (https://moz.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores). He explains it rather nicely.
Always best to compare your DA score against your competitors', rather than against your historical scores alone. Causes less panic too! But yeah, it seems many websites are reporting huge drops in DA. Doesn't necessarily mean that your website quality/authority has decreased since last update.

If it helps it does seem a lot of competitors have significantly dropped as well in DA score. Someone please tell me there is an issue with the tool

Frequency of Moz page authority updates?
I have some new pages on my site, and Moz gives them a very low PA ranking. I am wondering if these scores are updated monthly or quarterly? I'm not sure how frequently to check back for updated scoring.

Moz crawl error? DA & Linking domains significant drop.
Hi guys! Our site www.carwow.co.uk appears to have been punched in the face by the latest Moz update. It's claiming our #linking root domains has dropped from 225 to 135 and has subsequently hit our DA from 38 to 35. We haven't disavowed any links and our off-site strategy has been going well the past 2 months. Search performance has increased by around 15% (around 5k sessions) and rankings have improved week on week. Any idea if this is a Moz error? That's almost a 50% drop in linking root domains. Thanks, James

Does any one know if there is a tool out there built with the Moz API where you can feed in a large list of URLs and get back Domain Authority?
Does any one know if there is a tool out there built with the Moz API where you can feed in a large list of URLs and get back Domain Authority? Has anyone used the API for something like this before? Thanks! Max

Domain authority for a new site
Hi we a starting a new web which will be optimised for key words. What can we expect in terms of Domain authority when it comes to starting a brand new website? We will be devoting quite a significant amount of money in our AdWords campaign budget to promote the site and the products.
