In June our domain authority was at a 41. In July we were 38 and ever since then our domain authority is gradually getting worse and worse. We went from a 33 to a 29 in one week!
Possible explanations include:
- Maybe the SEO we hired (for a few months in late 2011) added our domain to some less-than-awesome directories
- The 301 redirects on our home page are hurting us somehow
- Duplicate content for URL's with different capitalization (IE: /pages/aboutus and /Pages/AboutUs)
Can someone please point me in the right direction? Which of the above possibilities would likely impact domain/page authority? Any other ideas as to why this might be happening? Any suggestions for improving our domain or page authority?
Thanks for the help!
