Thanks all

Hi there,
As Martijn has said, I wouldn't worry too much about th DA drop from 16 to 13, there are a range of factors that can affect DA and they're not all within your control.
One thing to note in addition is that if you do use the disavow tool from Google to tell them about bad links, this isn't connected to Moz which means that your DA may still go up or down. The disavow tool is good to use if you have links which are clearly bad and that you want to tell Google about, but Moz will not factor this into their DA score.
Hope that helps!

Build better links? Look a decrease of 3 points from 16 to 13 isn't that bad. In the end, that just means that Moz either picked up on a few less links of high authority or that the overall playing field that you're in outperformed you a little bit. I would focus on building better links versus trying to solve for the links that you already have.
The only caveat to that is, if you have build really bad links in the past than you likely want to revisit that strategy and potentially look into disavowing them.

Link Building - Affiliate Link Programs
I'm getting some conflicting information when researching this... I want to create the most organic link building strategy that not only gets high authority sites linking to a website, but relevant websites. I'm creating an affiliate link program where I link to partner and affiliate companies, who in turn link back to me. The question is where to put these links. I was initially thinking of putting them in the footer so they add credibility to every page, and in turn ask my affiliates to do the same thing. However; some sources say that Google no longer looks at links in the footer section. Is it true that Google doesn't count links in footer sections? And do you have any tips on creating this Affiliate Link Program?

Footer Links And Link Juice
I'm starting to learn about link juice and notice in GWMT > Traffic > Internal Links, that the list is in this order by the links counted on each page. Some are in the footer and some are in the header, with some being more important than others commercially i.e. /register /privacy /terms /search /sitemap /disclaimer /blog /register So I am wondering if I should add a 'no-follow' attribute to the footer links i.e. privacy, terms, disclaimer and leave the others as they are? Does this help retain link juice on each page where the links appear? Or am I missing the point all together? This is my website: http://goo.gl/CN0e5
