DA drop on 3rd March anyone?
-
Domain Authority has gone down again today (after initially dropping on the 7th February). Anyone else noticed anything?
Cheers,
Rhys

DA is not related to Google updates as it is a score given by Moz and as I already said, it only updates when a new Mozscape index is available. The drop you noticed in February must have happened with the 26/1 update.
If you did see a change in it today, it was likely because they were trying to roll out the new index (and failed).

You know the big Google update in February, well our DA dropped 2 points there. Well, on the Mozbar today, our DA has dropped another 2 points. I don't understand it?
Oh, literally, as I write this it's gone back up. A glitch perhaps? Anyway, thanks for your reply!

Your DA only updates when there is a new Mozscape index available. There should have been an update on 28/2 but they have been having issues with deploying this index so the index from 26/1 is still the most current one. I.e. there shouldn't have been a change in your DA since then (unless the new index was briefly available, but I haven't seen any changes in DA on our websites yet).
There was also no change in the Mozscape index on 7/2 so your DA wouldn't have had any changes then. The most recent one would be the 26/1 one.
You can check for updates to the Mozscape index here: https://moz.com/products/api/updates

GSC Performance completely dropped off, but Google Analytics is steady. Why can't GSC track my site anymore?
Hey everyone! I'm having a weird issue that I've never experienced before. For one of my clients, GSC has a complete drop-off in the Performance section. All of the data shows that everything fell flat, or almost completely flat. But in Google Analytics, we have steady results. No huge drop-off in traffic, etc. Do any of you know why GSC would all of a sudden be unable to crawl our site? Or track this data? Let me know what you think!

Does anyone know what causes the long meta description snippet?
You know the ones I mean... Google have been infrequently displaying some meta descriptions as 3-4 lines long for some time now. But recently, I've been noticing them more. Not sure whether it's just a coincidence that I've been seeing more for my searches, or whether Google are displaying more in this format. Does anybody know what causes Google to prefer the longer meta description or extended meta description for some results?

Anyone else see a redundant hostnames message in GA this morning?
Message reads as follows: Property sqlsentry.com is receiving data from redundant hostnames. Consider setting up a 301 redirect on your website, or make a search and replace filter that strips "www." from hostnames. Examples of redundant hostnames: sqlsentry.com, www.sqlsentry.com. We have had our preferred domain set to www for months and I've never seen this error before today. A quick search shows others getting this as well. I did notice our 301 is no longer working so I am going to set that back and see what happens.

Has anyone else noticed a major increase in Yelp, BBB, etc. results in local SERPs, pushing business websites further down?
Across multiple cities and markets, this seems to be a trend. "Chicago coffee shop" or "Minneapolis hair salon" or "Sacramento car repair" - outside the local 7-pack, virtually every result is Yelp, BBB, Yellowpages, etc. Is this related to algo changes, or simply a result of those national sites pumping major resources into SEO? It just seems to be suddenly far more prevalent than it was even 6 months ago.

Dropped off cliff for a partic keyword & can't find out why
At the beginning of Dec we ranked consistently in the top 3 for the keyword 'Suffolk' for the site www.suffolktouristguide.com (apge rank 4, thousands of quality inboud links, site age 5 years +). Since then we've been falling off a cliff and today aren't even in the top 50 for this search term, but most of our othr search terms are unaffected. Our SEOMoz grade remains A for 'Suffolk' and we haven't changed anything in that time that could have had such a material effect (knowingly at least). A similar issue happened to my other site www.suffolkhotelsguide.com back in April and it hasn't recovered despite grade A's on the homepage and key pages. We've checked internal broken links, page download times, external links (used the disavow tool and reconsideration request and got back 'We reviewed your site and found no manual actions by the webspam team that might affect your site's ranking in Google'); etc etc Any thoughts on what I can try next? All suggestions appreciated as I am completely stuck (& have spent a fortune on 'SEO experts' to no effect).
