Hey there,
Thanks for writing in and sorry about any confusion!
So overall, seeing your DA drop is a fairly common problem and can be attributed to a few things:
1.Links we previously discovered are now marked as lost.
2. You've earned more links, but the highest authority sites have grown their link profile even more.
3. The links you've earned are from sites that we haven't seen correlate well with higher Google rankings.
4. We've done a better or worse job crawling sites/pages that have links to you (or don't). You can help us to find those links using link tracking lists,It's a bit difficult to isolate the exact cause of what happened without your own SEO consultant or developer being able to take a dive into this, but you can definitely read more specific information here if you'd like to understand more about the process:).
Do let me know if you have any follow up questions!

Number of Pages Crawled dropped significantly
Number of total pages crawled on the latest report is about half the number from one week ago. No major changes to the site. Number of issues also dropped (not surprisingly). Why has the number dropped so significantly from week to week?

And are the issues actually cleared up, or just not counted because the crawl is so much smaller?0 -
Website domain authority dropped from 55 to 1 in two months
Hi all! Our website DA dropped from 55 to 1 in a matter of two months. Last time I checked, it was two months ago and the website DA was 55. When I checked today, it is 1. Needless to day, I am shocked. The website has been around since 1995 and has always had pretty decent DA and PA. We made a couple of important changes during past 3-4 months. One is to support HTTPS and another is to implement the responsive web design to support browsing by mobile devices. What could be the reason for such a dramatic drop of DA in a short period of time? Where would you suggest me to look for it? How can we get the problem fixed? Here is the website URL: www.infohub.com Thank you!

Domain Authority - 10 point drop. Should i be worried
We have had a steady rise over the past year and as the DA results came out i was extremely disappointed to see a 10 point drop. Competitors have also dropped but not by this figure. We have been continuing with the work we have been doing all year. Not the best news to have to share with the client. Would you use DA as a KPI or is it a little unreliable?

Traffic suddenly dropped from reports
Hey, I have a campaign, where in the past week all the traffic has dropped from the moz report (it registered 3 organic and 61 referral visits and nothing else) All other data remains. I checked google analytics and it's the same - traffic has suddenly dropped from 300 per day to 10 per day. It happened on April 1st (April fools?). I thought it could be a www. or non www issue, but this shouldn't affect analytics data should it as you only have on property there? Site is still receiving usual amount of traffic as I can check with Jetpack (it's a wordpress site) Any suggestions really appreciated. Cheers

Why did my Domain Authority drop all the way to 1
The Domain Authority on my sites has dropped all the way down to 1. This seems to have happened recently, although i'm not sure when or what the ranking used to be. Could this have anything to do with the "catastrophic failure of the hard disk" on 1/8/2016? https://community.uservoice.com

Oct 14 2015 MOZScape update: none of DA are changed?
Hello, everybody. Today I noticed that finally the latest release of mozscape update has been posted. Now, I noticed that NONE of 25 campaigns websites NOR any of their competitors DA has changed. I do understand that DA can stay the same, but 25+25*3=100 websites domain authorities hasn't changed at all since August 4th (the date of previous mozscape release)? Or is this happening only to me? Please advise.

How much attention should I pay to Moz's DA/PA?
Hola! I've been optimising a site since October and our hard work has yielded a sizeable increase in organic traffic, revenue, quality, relevant links and Search Metrics scoring since commencing the campaign. After yesterday's Moz update, the DA has dropped slightly and a number of pages' PAs have dropped significantly (i.e. from 27 to 17). So here are my questions: My 'white hat' optimisation is clearly working. The site is enjoying more than 100% year-on-year increase in organic traffic and we're currently pulling in more organic visitors than ever before. Why is Moz's score not reflecting this? Some of the pages that have seen sizeable PA drops have had their URLs changed since the last Moz update. For example, I've optimised a URL from www.mysite.com/cases-covers to www.mysite.com/phone-cases to coincide with search volumes. I've added optimised content to this page too, but the PA has dipped from 27 to 17. A 301 redirect has been correctly added, and this is evident by a PA of 17 and not zero, which is what a brand new page would have. Am I paying too much attention to Moz's scores? It's a bit disheartening to see a drop after a lot of hard work. However, I guess the only thing that really counts is an increased volume of search traffic and revenue, right? Cheers, Lewis

Moz crawl error? DA & Linking domains significant drop.
Hi guys! Our site www.carwow.co.uk appears to have been punched in the face by the latest Moz update. It's claiming our #linking root domains has dropped from 225 to 135 and has subsequently hit our DA from 38 to 35. We haven't disavowed any links and our off-site strategy has been going well the past 2 months. Search performance has increased by around 15% (around 5k sessions) and rankings have improved week on week. Any idea if this is a Moz error? That's almost a 50% drop in linking root domains. Thanks, James
