Why my DA dropped Suddenly?

-
I need info on embedding youtube videos inside blog posts as well. As per a study i found after inclusion of youtube embeds inside posts, the DA drops allot. But when we remove the embeds then DA comes back to normal.
Can somebody explains what is it with this behavior of DA?

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
The change you've noticed would be due to the fact that we updated the way in which we calculate DA as of March 5th. The new DA has been launched with the purpose of improving our ability to predict a site’s ranking ability with even better accuracy. This update aims to give us a more accurate depiction of your site’s influence over time.
This doesn't mean we’ve started from scratch with our calculations; in fact, all of the features that went into the old DA model are also present in the new DA model as we’ve added more complexity around them. This includes a better understanding and consideration for the quality of the site linking to the site you’re researching, and links to a page that redirect to another page.
Please note, when tracking your DA and the Link Building work you’re performing, DA should always be looked at in comparison to your target competitors, never as a standalone metric.
You can read more about this here https://moz.com/domain-authority-2.0
I hope this helps but please let us know if there's more we can help to clarify!

Drop in Domain Authority across 20 sites
Hi I monitor and track 20-25 sites. I got a -1 in DA across the board this month. Has anyone else experienced this. It's possible my server/cms guys have made a global change. Has anyone at Moz or anyone in the community experienced this?

Site moved to https and not showing any Moz DA or PA
Hello Fellow Mozzers, So, I have a client site that we moved from non https to https at the end of 2015. We had decent moz numbers (Da/Pa etc) but now we are only showing a 1 for both of them. Does it usually take time for Moz to carry over the info to the https version or does that process entirely start over? Not sure where to start looking. Cheers D

6 Months and still no PA/DA or links by Moz Explorer?
Hi, It's been 6 months and my site is still showing no PA/DA or backlinks according to moz opensite explorer. I know that it has backlinks as I created them myself, and I know its crawlable and the links is there as GWT tells me so. Also you can check for yourself on ahrefs.com. Is Moz indexed pages that much smaller then the other crawlers? The site in question is amanandvan247.com. Thanks.
