This even happened to my website (Https://gobookmart.com). It dropped From 39 to 38. I guess that is because of some lost backlinks.

@rishu578 said in Why My Domain Authority Dropped:
Hello sir i noticed that my DA is Dropped From 27 to 26 Of this website https://www.hinditechgyan.com/.
What is the reason I don't i try a lot to find a solution but not get . But I notice that in google webmaster tool the domain linking increased every time but on the Moz.com, not domain added even my DA Dropped. Even When i checked my site on https://ahrefs.com/ he shows approx 350 domain with high da and pa.
help me i am getting frustrated.
Is that Moz is crawling All domain Fairly or not ?? -
@stuartmccloud are you sure 400 quality links for your given website?
-
My DA has dropped since yesterday https://www.overlandexpress.co.uk/
Have added around 400 good quality backlinks to the domain in the last month and it is really disheartening when something like this happens. 75% of the links added are do follow and are from domains with a higher authority than ours.

Same here, my blog https://www.ilgirasoleverde.it/ lost DA today

@himan232 Hi! It might be due to some Google changes. As it's already been mentioned, optimizing your content can help, and building links to your optimized content could definitely give it a big boost. I'm with BASE Search Marketing and that's all we do (create content and build high-quality backlinks). Don't hesitate to reach out if you need it for your site or for your client's site!

My DA was 14 on Moz and now it seems to be 13.
But, on Ahrefs it shows that my website (https://dbdpost.com/) has DA 7. Why is that? -
Hi,
The Domain Authority of my website https://chiropractorgoonline.com/ is also dropped in the last 4-5 days. an I know the reason for what is going on? Thankyou! -
The website https://www.zehlm.com has also dropped, but not a few points. The last Google update, which was within the last week, diminished the DA and PA to "0". The thing here that doesn't add up, is that the SEO score according to Seobility is a whopping 99%. All of the code is valid through w3c and there are at least 8 keyword phrases that are above 88% on individual SEO scores.
Really is strange. I don't see this type of nonsense in other websites. Could this be sabbotage? -
My SItes faced same issue. https://www.startech.com.bd/ Can anyone explain why?
-
AFter buying some high DA dofollow links, my site https://www.packlt.lt dropped as well. Not sure if coincidence or penality
-
Same here, the domain authority of my website https://awanaidirmawan.com dropped significantly from 12 to 5, can I know the reason for what is going on? Thankyou!
-
The same also happened with my website "blueseotools.com" initially the authority was 18 but suddenly dropped to 1.8. please help!

Domain authority (DA) is a metric used to measure how authoritative a domain name is. A higher DA means that the site is more trusted and authoritative than others.
The DA of a website is calculated using several factors including backlinks, page rank, age of the website, etc.
As we know, the number of backlinks is directly proportional to the traffic of a website. So, if the number of backlinks increases, then the traffic of a website will increase.So, if the number of links decreases, then the traffic of the website will decrease.
In this article, I am going to explain what causes the drop in the number of backlinks and how to fix it.
What Causes Backlink Drop?There are many reasons behind the link drop. Let's discuss them below:
-
Google algorithm update
Google updates its algorithms frequently. Sometimes they do it without any warning. In these cases, the search engine may penalize websites that have been ranking well previously. -
Website redesign
If you have redesigned your website recently, then chances are that you might have lost some of your previous rankings. -
Low quality content
When you write articles for your blog, make sure that they are high-quality and informative. If not, then you should consider writing guest posts instead.

my website ranking and authority has dropped in recent time https://www.hashtagacademy.in is there any new update in google ?
-
@rishu578 Perpase the answer is that your competitors are going up in DA, indirectly lowering yours by surpassing your position.

Hi Everone,
Our website(https://www.buddyloan.com/) was having a DA of 28 and suddenly it dropped to 23. What would be the reason? I have checked the backlinks. there was a drop in no.of backlinks. what other factors can I check?

I recently experienced the same issue with a sudden drop of DA on Moz for our site https://fashionfinder.online/ - has there been a recent update?
Thanks! -
The same thing I have noticed with my website https://www.techtricknews.com/.
I have disavowed several backlinks and updated theme few times. And guessing that this might be the reason for dropping DA from 15 to 12.

100% agree with Zee

Both good answers above. Chiming in here to echo what's been said, and point out that it's unhelpful to track your domain's DA from Moz month over month because Moz's DA:
- is to Moz
- is not used by Google
- is subject to change, pending updates Moz makes to its own DA algorithm
I would, instead, focus on figuring out how to make your domain stronger with and without links. You may very well need to focus on building links to your site to increase authority and exposure, but you may not be able to accomplish that unless you create content that is "easy" to promote, and compels other websites to link to you.
Hope this helps.

See my relevant answer to an older, similar question here:
https://moz.com/community/q/why-did-my-site-s-da-just-drop-by-50
"Keep in mind that PageRank (which is used by Google to weight the popularity and authority of web pages, yes it's still true even after the little toolbars got deleted) does not read, utilise or rely upon Moz's DA metric in any way shape or form. DA is a 'shadow metric'. Since Google took away our view of the simplified PageRank algorithm (TBPR - ToolBar PageRank, which is dead) people working in SEO needed a new metric to evaluate the quality and ranking potential of web pages
Moz stepped in to supply this (in the form of PA / DA) but Google still use PageRank (they just don't show it to us any more). Whilst Moz's PA/DA metrics are a good 'indicator' of success, Google isn't using them (at all) and so they do not directly affect your rankings"
Only someone from Moz can confirm why your DA dropped, but it may have dropped for a reason that wouldn't impact or effect Google rankings in the slightest (so don't panic yet!)
-
No, sir, i didn't make any changes
-
Hello Rishi,
Have you made any changes to the site?
DA is a concept proprietary to Moz, it was recently recalibrated which may explain the drop - https://moz.com/domain-authority-2.0

Domain vs. page SEO
Hi I'm new to SEO and trying to optimize one of my pages. However this page that I'm trying to optimize is not the homepage. Does it mean that since I have collected links from other pages to my homepage that the specific page I'm trying to SEO doesn't get any "link juice"? And how could this situation be corrected? Is the only way to get direct links to the page I'm trying to optimize?

What tools/techniques you use to check if a domain has been penalized?
If we think to buy expired or otherwise dropped domains, what tools or techniques you would recommend to check if there has bad SEO history? We could of course, check with Google itself if the site is indexed and ranks, but I am asking if there is a particular tool out there that would provide more information if a website had been shady. Thanks so much, guys! Lily

Low page rank directories but high domain authority?
I just paid someone to submit me to a few directories and I saw were I was listed on one of them today. The url page authority of where I was listed was a "1" with zero moz trust and zero moz authority. The root domain authority is a "69". Is page authority or domain authority the most important for links? I believe all the directories I was submitted to have url page authority of "1". ( I watched a video yesterday and I think the head guy said that page authority was most important but I am not sure.

Is it safe to do a lot of links to a new post on an old domain?
Hi, I was wondering as far as being aggressive in link building can you add a lot of links to a new post on an aged domain? How many would you say is too much for the new pages if the over all domain has about 40k links? I am just wondering of a safe round about number monthly that can be done although I do realize this is site specific. I would trust your best guess. Thanks, ~JImmy

Linking domains on same ip
I don't know if i can post a link in the question so if you google 800 appliance and do a little reaserch on them you will see that it has many links with same content linking to the main domain and to each other. They hosted on the same ip which from what i read doesn't supposed to help in ranking. I saw many nich websites like this with the same idea. What am i missing here...?
