Domain Authority Drop 4 Points
-
Hi,
Our DA has dropped 4 points overnight, looking at our competitors they all seem to have dropped though none as significantly as us?
Has anyone else noticed a DA drop?
Kind regards,
-
Just for the sake of documenting it, our DA dropped 5 points too, our main competitor dropped just by 2 points. We have 1.4k backlinks, they do have 140k backlinks.

Same story here. Ranking has dropped from #5 on the search we want, down to #7. DA dropped by 4 and competitors dropped too. Main competitors DA dropped by 9 though!! One of the main differences between our site and our main competitors is the number of outbound links they have. We have around 700 and they have over 20,000. Yet our ranking has dropped but not as much as their DA...
Confused
-
We dropped 4 points, also more than our competitors. However, our ratings have improved aside of Linking C Blocks. If anyone has more information about this, I'd love to hear about it.
Our Google ranking has stayed the same thus far even through the update.
-
Hey there! Yep ours dropped by 2 points overnight and competitors did the same.
-
Ours dropped by two points. This is some BS.

Open Site Explorer updated yesterday, so that might have something to do with it. Domain Authority can change, depending on the index. [If you look back over old questions, you see that this comes up every so often. http://moz.com/community/q/domain-authority-drops#reply_209933 ]

Our dropped two points as did our competitors. I wouldn't worry too much. I'm curious if this is a result of the most recent Google Penguin release.
-
Ours dropped 5 points. We moved from http to https in the meanwhile, I don't know if that is related.

All My Metrics Improved from Last Month but Domain Authority Decreased
Hi SEOMoz community! My site's Domain Authority has decreased from 43 to 41 since last month. I cannot figure out why. ALL my metrics (Domain MozRank, Domain MozTrust, External Followed Links, etc. have increased. See attached image. Is Domain Authority a ranking system based on your peers? Can someone better explain the Domain Authority algorithm? Thanks for any help you can offer. mozrank.png

This Rookie needs help! Duplicate content pages dropped significantly.
So I am pretty new to SEO Moz. I have an e-commerce site and recently did a website redesign. However, not without several mistakes and issues. That said, when SEO Moz did a crawl of my site, the results showed A LOT of Duplicate Content Pages on my site due to my having one item in many variations. It was almost over whelming and because the number of pages was so high, I have been trying to research ways to correct it quickly. The latest crawl from yesterday shows a drastic drop in the number of duplicate content pages and a slight increase in pages with too long page titles (which is fixable). I am embarrassed to give the number of duplicate pages that were showing but, just know, it's been reduced to a third of the amount. I am just wondering if I missed something and should I be happy or concerned? Has there been a change that could have caused this? Thanks for helping this rookie out!

List sub-domains for a root domain.
Is there an easy way to find out all the sub domains registered for a given root domain. Our site (ea.com) has literally hundreds registered sub domains. I need to track down the ones that are public. It would be nice to get a list of public sub domains, along with some link metrics on each. Maybe this could be a new linkscape feature. Thanks, David Fricks

Group by Domain sorting is broken.
When sorting links with "Group by Domain" it only works for the 1st page. Pages 2 - X do not group the results. Am I doing something wrong? Can we simply set it to "view all" to avoid paging?

Why Do Domain Link Metrics Differ in Keyword Difficulty Report vs OpenSiteExplorer
If anyone could shed some light on this that would be great. It seems as if the two tools are using different versions of the database?

Do keywords in drop-down menus count?
In running one of my campaigns in SEOMoz Pro, it was recommended that I reduce the amount of times a keyword is used to 15. On the actual page, there are fewer than 15, but when you include the number of times it is used in drop-downs from the nav bar, the number is 53. I know there is really no hard and fast rule about how many instances of a keyword make for keyword stuffing and the drop-downs only use the term where needed. Without it's use, it would be difficult to navigate the site. Is this a problem or should I focus on more important fixes?
