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

Exact Domain Match does it help or distract?
Does owning / buying an exact domain match help or not necessary? For example our main website ranks for nearly 14,800 Keywords but one KW we are trying to get in the top spot for we are currently at the bottom of page #1. We do see an exact domain match available so we purchased it but i don't know if it would actually help us or distract us. I was thinking we could create an article about the keyword on that exact domain then do some on page seo and back linking. But would that be more of a distraction VS. just focusing on getting more high quality back links to the main website we have ranked on Page 1 at the bottom? Any ideas or benefits to use an exact domain match to help boost also?

Ranking Multiple Domains Simultaneously
What kind of strategy would one implement to rank multiple domains in SERPs? (One domain per keyword) I am looking more into link blocking and that, but I don't know the effectiveness and consistency of the strategy. Does anyone have any recommendations? I really can't be arsed giving every single site it's own full SEO treatment 🙂 Thanks very kindly and in advance for your thoughts 🙂

Where can I go to find the latest links to my domain?

9306 inbound links but onle 143 root domains?
I need help with my link building efforts so I have started to search around for companies and/or freelance contractors to hire. I always ask for examples of sites they are working on. In many cases the number of inbound links are high (9306) compared to the number of root domains that are linked to (143). Or as in this sample (120792) inbound links compared to (157) linking domains http://www.shortsalesafe.com. How can this be? To me the only logical answer is "link farms" or some other form of black hat magic. Am I right in my assumption, or is there another logical answer for so many links with so few linking domains.? Thanks Gary

When good domain names go bad
We have created a website to distribute a niche product. About a year ago, another vendor decided to drop the product and did not renew their domain name. We tried to acquire the domain name, but a cyber squatter picked it up. The old domain name had a few decent back links, and there was probably some value to us with a 301, but the cyber squatter was asking $8,000 and we didn't even bother countering such an absurd figure. The old domain continued to rank reasonably well for one or our search terms, even though it was just one page of spammy links. Well, this week it appears that Google Panda may have finally killed it off. Which brings me to a couple of questions. 1. In addition to a simple Google search, is there a way to determine if Google has killed a domain? 2. Assuming that Google has indeed killed the domain, is there any value in trying to 301 the domain should it ever be released? Best,

Should I be Improving Domain Authority?
Hello I work for a company that deals in Collectibles and runs a collectibles news service. In the UK our site ranks on the first page for the keyword "collectibles". We wish to strengthen this position and increase our rank on the US Google. I'm going to be working on Keyword Optimisation for the site, to hopefully make many of our pages more relevant and improve the rank. However I feel we may be held back by our Domain Authority score. Our Google PageRank and MozRank are both low due to the fact we don't have a huge amount of external links to the site. Is this something that will potentially hold us back? Should I be working on improving this as before the site optimisation? We are well set up for a content based strategy due to "News" nature of the site. My ownly concern with link building is i've heard that it could potentially negatively effect us. Or is the risk of link building only really associated with black hat methods? One last thing. I've been using the Google keyword Tool to judge competition for specific search terms. Is this useful for organic search? Or is it only relevant for PPC? Sorry to be a pain with all these question! Thanks

Page Authority vs. Domain Authority
Like many of you, I've spent a lot of time in Open Site Explorer analyzing our links and our competitors, and looking for more linking opportunities. Recently we've been focusing our SEO efforts on gaining links from high value .edu domains and so far we've been very successful. The DA of these links are high (80+), but the links are also coming through on low PA pages (typically 10-35). Are these links still worth while? When does a link not become worth it?
