Why did my Domain Authority drop all the way to 1

[itsbrad]

The Domain Authority on my sites has dropped all the way down to 1. This seems to have happened recently, although i'm not sure when or what the ranking used to be. Could this have anything to do with the "catastrophic failure of the hard disk" on 1/8/2016?

OSE seems to be locating your links - up to over 3500 from the other day when I saw was like 300. So I would say when the index refreshes next, you'll see this return. If not, hopefully tech support can help more because it's definitely a weird issue. Headers look fine, robots is ok, no meta robots blocking it & I can crawl with Screaming Frog ... so yeah. No reason other than the glitch that I can see.

https has been in place for years.

When did you make the change to https? Could that be a recent change?

Love your robots.txt but the sitemap is wrong/invalid as well. That can't help many search engines find you.

I would think you're right and that the crawl lost your data and then hadn't re-found your info yet. If you look at Just Discovered links it shows a bunch from the last few days but nothing before Jan 1.

If the HTTPS is brand new, I could see that being it ... but yeah, does look like you got lost in the system. Weird glitches need squashing!

Hey Brad!

This does seem suspicious and will have our devs take a look. I may not hear back from them right away. Will keep you posted!
