DmT Dropped

My question sounds stupid . But I had a good Moz rank for my Domain also Moz trust.It was in the high 400s for both..I was very happy with this score My DA also dropped considerably. There was not much of a reason i could see,In fact my page scores still were up there and never moved. But the domain scores plummeted.
I had added a Blog to my site once i added the blog there were roughly 13 pages involved.Of these 13 pages i had problem errors ,notices ,and warnings for all the blog pages.I did not notice this until a couple days ago . The 13 errors were mostly duplicate description tags ,302 redirect ,and other small stuff like this ..
like fl** Could these items listed above actually be the problem behind my scores all dropping like flies??** And with the update being only 3 days away if i repaiir these right away do you think i will get my scores back ?? Or will i have to wait for another 30 days ...I really dont want to be left standing with such a low score ..I already started making the repairs.
Thank you all...

I was suspecting that i may have lost some important links that perhaps expired last month..Not sure of a great method to track my links BUT i think from this point on i better figure a way to keep a keen eye on my links and when they fall off ..
thanks

The problem you had with the blog can be one of the factors why your DA has dropped, even though I would also check if are existing external reasons, as links your site had and now not anymore...
Another factor to take into account is that the Linkscape's September Update came with few changes, that can have recalculated your DA giving you the impression of a drop. More about it here: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/linkscape-september-update-feedback
Finally, if you want to have with you the official definitions of the metrics used by SEOmoz, I suggest you to bookmark this page: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/about

Site visitors dropped off- have tried everything
Hello Moz team....I love the tools but I'm more of a content created for my web site than a developer. So I am super stuck with a major money losing problem. My traffic has nearly gone to zero and I have good content, regular content, no duplicate content, and so on. Can someone help.... Today I disavowed thousands of bad inbound links found in a Moz report Since January I have been fixing pages with missing meta data found in the crawl report In December 2018 I switched over to HTTPS I have no clueeeeeee

Sudden big drop in ranking - update, tech issue or penalty?
We are managing a website that was previously consistently ranking on P1 or top position on P2 and over the weekend (28th Jan) suddenly dropped to P5. What is the best way of ascertaining whether this was down to an update, a tech issue or a penalty? There are other pages on the site (sub-folders) which are still continuing to rank well on the site for similar kws. Regards,

Organic Traffic Drops to Zero After Site Migration
I know this question is terribly general . . . but I don't even know where to start in terms of sharing info, which I would be glad to post on request. My site was recently re-designed and migrated to a new server. I certainly expected SOME drop in traffic as google gets the snew site all figured out, but as you can see this drop has been dramatic. It's a simple wordpress site, I have yoast ptimized on it, I don't have many obvious errors that have not already been fixed that I can see.

Major Keyword Ranking Drops INCORRECT
For multiple clients I have seen a drop of more than 10 ranking spots for keywords we previously placed well for and made no changes to those pages. We decided to manually check where the pages are and majority of these keywords showing crazy declines are really sitting in position #2 without SPYW, with the rest still being in on 1st page. Now we have to personally check these dropping rankings and manually change them for reports. Any reason for this? Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Domain authority drop
Hi SEOmoz gurus, The last 2 months I am seeing a drop in the Domain authority for some of my clients. Some of them are old sites. Some are new (less than 6 months old) For the old sites I thought the reason for the drop might be caused by discounting the value of low quality backlinks. But this cannot be the case for the new sites - they have high quality backlinks from newspapers and I can't make any sense of the drop. Has anyone else experienced the same issue? Might this be caused by a change in SEOmoz algorithm? Thanks!

My DA Drop
Two updates ago I had a "big" drop in DA from 36 to 32 because of a drop in Followed Linking Root Domains. Me and my competitors have taken DA hits recently, but I'm the only one to have dropped faster than the others. (see capture below for full story.) Of course this happens right after I start focusing my efforts on SEO. I'd be awfully grateful if y'all had any insights for me on this one. I was hoping after the initial drop off that I would see the rank climb after my link building efforts over the last couple of months; no such luck. Now I'm feeling like I've shot myself in the foot somehow. Also attached is an ahrefs report showing backlinks and referring domains over time. So did I shoot my foot off or am I seeing something else at work? 5857219052625307137

Freaked out over domain authority ranking drop.
Should I be freaked out that website's domain authority dropped 4 points? Is it normal for websites to fluctuate a couple of points or have I really screwed something up?
