Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Andy,

All have dropped roughly the same amount in terms of Domain Authority.

We have been working on Links recently so hopefully this will part of the reason for a pick up in rankings.

Someone keeps using SEMRush to spider the site which is then translating into huge amounts of referals data which in turn messes with bounce rate and stats of the site.  I'm trying to find the best way of blocking SEMRush off completely.

Thanks Monica!

We've also seen some drops across our website and our competitors domain authorities. Glad its not just our market.

Hello!

I'm a bit confused.  It seems the industry as a whole that my company operates in has taken a bash from the update a few days ago as all of the competitiors have taken a hit to their domain authority.  What is confusing is that my websites rankings have increased as well.

There has been a change to the robots.txt file in an effort to stop being crawled by SEMRush which is messing with my site stats but that is the only change.

Thanks in advance,

Ben
