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.

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

Get discovered and lost linking domains separately
Hello, We want to get "discovered and lost links" using api.
API | | OlegKireyenka
You do not have discovered and lost metrics available via the Links API and we call api for backlinks and then cross reference this with the links found the last time, we are able to get only NET links, but we want to get "just discovered and lost links" separately.
for example: inbound links for 27 July is 600, inbound links for 30 July is 750, okay, NET links from 27 July to 30 July = 750-600=150. And in this case "discovered and lost links" maybe: 400 and -250, 300 and -150, 150 and 0, and etc. Maybe I can not understand something, give example please. Thank!0 -

Website domain authority dropped from 55 to 1 in two months
Hi all! Our website DA dropped from 55 to 1 in a matter of two months. Last time I checked, it was two months ago and the website DA was 55. When I checked today, it is 1. Needless to day, I am shocked. The website has been around since 1995 and has always had pretty decent DA and PA. We made a couple of important changes during past 3-4 months. One is to support HTTPS and another is to implement the responsive web design to support browsing by mobile devices. What could be the reason for such a dramatic drop of DA in a short period of time? Where would you suggest me to look for it? How can we get the problem fixed? Here is the website URL: www.infohub.com Thank you!

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
