Domain Authority Dropped to 1 from 13
-
Hi,
Our domain authority was at 13 two months ago and it dropped to 1 one and half month ago, I waited for MozUpdate but still no luck.
my question is if my domain name doesn't have proper non www to www redirect, moz tool will show authority correctly?
How do I check if redirect is proper for Moz to account it ?
website is working fine though, no problem to redirect from non www to www.com website.
Regards,
Vishal

Also, what links are you building?! Link building the wrong way can definitely backfire.

It will take our tools some time to pick up on recent backlink growth. With any luck, our tools will find and index those new links to your site that you've been earning, and you'll start to see your Domain Authority increase over time.

Hi,
When DA was at 13 we had 0 backlinks. no social traffic or nothing just paid traffic.
now I started link building some tools shows 16 some 5 but pretty sure at least 2 links are there,
Just saying that 0 backlinks DA was 13, now 2 backlinks from DA90+ and it dropped to 1.

Hi Vishal, Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.
As long as you've got a redirect properly in place from the non-www version of your URL to the www version, or vice versa, that should be enough for our tools to follow and find links pointing back to your site. It sounds like Martijn, below, is correct - your site probably isn't well represented in our Mozscape Index. Luckily, just by searching for your site with Open Site Explorer, you're prompting our crawler to visit your site, so hopefully within the next one or two index update cycles you'll start to see your Domain Authority improve.
Martijn is also correct that working on improving your backlink profile is one of the most effective ways of boosting your Domain Authority - that's a great place to start!
I hope this helps! If you've still got some questions for us, feel free to give us a shout at help@moz.com.

Hi Vishal,
Usually 1 will mean that Moz didn't include your domain in their latest index. Which is also bad news as it means you didn't have enough links from other sites to really pop up in their search across the web. What I would focus on is building links so in a future update you will be included. In this case it won't mean much as DA 13 was not super high and might have caused you to drop out on the next update.
Martijn.

Drop in DA and PA and lost a load of links
Hi Mozzers, I just check a site in OSE and while the inbound domains are up the total links have dropped and therefore DA and PA. How can I find which links have gone. I'm assuming a domain passing 1000's of links has either gone down or broken the link - can I use the ISE tool to fine which links have been recently broken? I know there is just discovered for new links. If not can you recommend a tool please. Thanks

Why is OSE showing a higher Domain Authority than Moz?
Moz has today run monthly reports for 2 of my clients' sites. For both of these, the Domain Authority reported on the Moz dashboard is several points lower than that shown by OSE today for the same sites. Why would that be?

What could have caused Total links to drop from 860,000 to 93,127 in Open Site Explorer?
I've been monitoring root domain total links for a website over the past couple of months and recently noticed a significant drop at the beginning of July.Specifically, I have been tracking the total links for the root domain using open site explorer. Since April the total number or links has been fluctuating among 860,000 - 865,000. However at the beginning of July, they dropped to 93,127 and now sit only at 110,831.This is a very significant and troubling decrease and I am wondering what the cause could be? Did Moz change the way they report/determine the total link metrics? It is especially baffling since neither total internal nor total external links have seen significant decreases.

Drastic drop in LRD from OSE report has me confused... Any idea why?
We just got our report from OSE and a week ago we had over 80 LRD's with DA34/PA44 and now we see only 27 LRD's DA32/PA34? Why such a significant drop in our LRD's which I'm sure has affected everything else in the software. We checked Google Webmasters and don't see a drop in our linking URLs. We see it fluctuate all the time, but nothing like this. I'm not so much concerned with DA/PA at the moment as I know that dropped from lack of data the system can read, but why did over 60% of our LRDs disappear overnight? Anyone else seeing this happen to them? Our URL is whiteboardcreations.com

Open Site Explorer not detecting linking domain on my site
So I was using Open Site Explorer to analyze my domain authority and page authority as can be seen here. My site has been covered by some press and in the article it actually links my site. Some of the articles can be seen on, here, here, and here. Any idea why none of these articles are detected as a linking domain to my site? Is there something that I am doing wrong?
