I Have 2 Questions!
I've moved my website https://gbwhts.net/ from DA 14 to DA 15.
The ranking of my website https://instaaupapk.com/ has unexpectedly increased from DA 11 to DA 15.
What is this? -
This is because poor link profile: If you have low-quality or spammy backlinks pointing to your website, or if you have been engaged in black-hat SEO practices such as link farming, then your domain authority may drop. Google sees these types of links as a red flag and will penalize your website. https://whatsgbplus.com/ogwhatsapp-apk/
-
is there any new updates because my site https://digitalboxit.com/ is drop too
-
My website "https://www.cloudbik.com" DA also dropped from 29 to 27.
What is the reason? This is the first time I faced this. -

There can be various reasons why your domain authority has dropped. Here are some possible reasons:
Poor link profile: If you have low-quality or spammy backlinks pointing to your website, or if you have been engaged in black-hat SEO practices such as link farming, then your domain authority may drop. Google sees these types of links as a red flag and will penalize your website.
Changes to the algorithm: Google updates its search algorithms frequently, and these updates can impact your website's ranking and domain authority. If your website is not aligned with the latest algorithm updates, your domain authority may drop.
Content quality: If the quality of your website's content has decreased, then your domain authority may drop. Google's algorithms look for relevant, high-quality, and meaningful content that meets the needs of searchers. If your content is not meeting these criteria, your domain authority may suffer.
Website structure: If your website structure is not optimized for search engines, then your domain authority may drop. Google prefers websites with clear and logical structures that make it easy for users to navigate and for search engines to crawl.
. Competition: If your competitors are performing better in terms of SEO, producing more quality content, and earning higher-quality backlinks, then your domain authority may drop relative to theirs.
To improve your domain authority, you should focus on building high-quality backlinks, producing relevant and meaningful content, optimizing your website structure, and staying up-to-date with the latest algorithm updates.

-
This even happened to my website (Https://gobookmart.com). It dropped From 39 to 38. I guess that is because of some lost backlinks.

@rishu578 said in Why My Domain Authority Dropped:
Hello sir i noticed that my DA is Dropped From 27 to 26 Of this website https://www.hinditechgyan.com/.
What is the reason I don't i try a lot to find a solution but not get . But I notice that in google webmaster tool the domain linking increased every time but on the Moz.com, not domain added even my DA Dropped. Even When i checked my site on https://ahrefs.com/ he shows approx 350 domain with high da and pa.
help me i am getting frustrated.
Is that Moz is crawling All domain Fairly or not ?? -
@stuartmccloud are you sure 400 quality links for your given website?
-
My DA has dropped since yesterday https://www.overlandexpress.co.uk/
Have added around 400 good quality backlinks to the domain in the last month and it is really disheartening when something like this happens. 75% of the links added are do follow and are from domains with a higher authority than ours.
-
Same here, my blog https://www.ilgirasoleverde.it/ lost DA today
-
@himan232 Hi! It might be due to some Google changes. As it's already been mentioned, optimizing your content can help, and building links to your optimized content could definitely give it a big boost. I'm with BASE Search Marketing and that's all we do (create content and build high-quality backlinks). Don't hesitate to reach out if you need it for your site or for your client's site!

My DA was 14 on Moz and now it seems to be 13.
But, on Ahrefs it shows that my website (https://dbdpost.com/) has DA 7. Why is that? -
Hi,
The Domain Authority of my website https://chiropractorgoonline.com/ is also dropped in the last 4-5 days. an I know the reason for what is going on? Thankyou! -
The website https://www.zehlm.com has also dropped, but not a few points. The last Google update, which was within the last week, diminished the DA and PA to "0". The thing here that doesn't add up, is that the SEO score according to Seobility is a whopping 99%. All of the code is valid through w3c and there are at least 8 keyword phrases that are above 88% on individual SEO scores.
Really is strange. I don't see this type of nonsense in other websites. Could this be sabbotage? -
My SItes faced same issue. https://www.startech.com.bd/ Can anyone explain why?
-
AFter buying some high DA dofollow links, my site https://www.packlt.lt dropped as well. Not sure if coincidence or penality
-
Same here, the domain authority of my website https://awanaidirmawan.com dropped significantly from 12 to 5, can I know the reason for what is going on? Thankyou!
-
The same also happened with my website "blueseotools.com" initially the authority was 18 but suddenly dropped to 1.8. please help!

Domain authority (DA) is a metric used to measure how authoritative a domain name is. A higher DA means that the site is more trusted and authoritative than others.
The DA of a website is calculated using several factors including backlinks, page rank, age of the website, etc.
As we know, the number of backlinks is directly proportional to the traffic of a website. So, if the number of backlinks increases, then the traffic of a website will increase.So, if the number of links decreases, then the traffic of the website will decrease.
In this article, I am going to explain what causes the drop in the number of backlinks and how to fix it.
What Causes Backlink Drop?There are many reasons behind the link drop. Let's discuss them below:
-
Google algorithm update
Google updates its algorithms frequently. Sometimes they do it without any warning. In these cases, the search engine may penalize websites that have been ranking well previously. -
Website redesign
If you have redesigned your website recently, then chances are that you might have lost some of your previous rankings. -
Low quality content
When you write articles for your blog, make sure that they are high-quality and informative. If not, then you should consider writing guest posts instead.

-
my website ranking and authority has dropped in recent time https://www.hashtagacademy.in is there any new update in google ?
-
@rishu578 Perpase the answer is that your competitors are going up in DA, indirectly lowering yours by surpassing your position.
-
Hi Everone,
Our website(https://www.buddyloan.com/) was having a DA of 28 and suddenly it dropped to 23. What would be the reason? I have checked the backlinks. there was a drop in no.of backlinks. what other factors can I check?

I recently experienced the same issue with a sudden drop of DA on Moz for our site https://fashionfinder.online/ - has there been a recent update?
Thanks! -
The same thing I have noticed with my website https://www.techtricknews.com/.
I have disavowed several backlinks and updated theme few times. And guessing that this might be the reason for dropping DA from 15 to 12.
-
100% agree with Zee
-
Both good answers above. Chiming in here to echo what's been said, and point out that it's unhelpful to track your domain's DA from Moz month over month because Moz's DA:
- is to Moz
- is not used by Google
- is subject to change, pending updates Moz makes to its own DA algorithm
I would, instead, focus on figuring out how to make your domain stronger with and without links. You may very well need to focus on building links to your site to increase authority and exposure, but you may not be able to accomplish that unless you create content that is "easy" to promote, and compels other websites to link to you.
Hope this helps.

See my relevant answer to an older, similar question here:
https://moz.com/community/q/why-did-my-site-s-da-just-drop-by-50
"Keep in mind that PageRank (which is used by Google to weight the popularity and authority of web pages, yes it's still true even after the little toolbars got deleted) does not read, utilise or rely upon Moz's DA metric in any way shape or form. DA is a 'shadow metric'. Since Google took away our view of the simplified PageRank algorithm (TBPR - ToolBar PageRank, which is dead) people working in SEO needed a new metric to evaluate the quality and ranking potential of web pages
Moz stepped in to supply this (in the form of PA / DA) but Google still use PageRank (they just don't show it to us any more). Whilst Moz's PA/DA metrics are a good 'indicator' of success, Google isn't using them (at all) and so they do not directly affect your rankings"
Only someone from Moz can confirm why your DA dropped, but it may have dropped for a reason that wouldn't impact or effect Google rankings in the slightest (so don't panic yet!)
-
No, sir, i didn't make any changes
-
Hello Rishi,
Have you made any changes to the site?
DA is a concept proprietary to Moz, it was recently recalibrated which may explain the drop - https://moz.com/domain-authority-2.0

If I get multiple links from one domain, will that help my rankings?
Hello, I have developed a relationship with a blogger in my niche. He has published a guest post of mine with a link back to my site. Does it make sense to keep providing him with content to build different links from different pages within the same root domain? Thanks! Ricardo

Page Authority
Hi Moz! My landing page has 30 page rank. However, none of my other pages have any page rank at all even though they are ranking high? Could you please explain this concept to me.

Domain Authority and Fixing the site
Ok, so let's say I have a page on my site that says "Find a Personal Injury Lawyer Boston" Obviously that is very competitive and it is hard to get links for. However somewhere else on my site I have an article that says "10 mistakes to avoid when making a will." In theory, if I can get links to the "Making a Will Page", that increases the domain authority of my entire site, and boosts the likelihood of ranking for "Find a personal injury lawyer Boston." Is this correct? Let me know and thanks for your help!

Use 301'd Domain for a new campaign
Hello everybody, My company is getting ready to start a new mediacampaign on a very specific subject. The mediacampaign is not directly targeted at our core business, the goal is more to inform our customers about a subject and do a little branding for our company. A nice (and expensive) infographic was built that is going to be the core content of the campaign. We want the infographic to get shared a lot and therefore some of my colleagues want the url to be as short as possible. The idea is to host the infographic on a url on our companysite, but use a 301'd, shorter domainname in our communications. We are going to be getting a lot of links to this empty 301'd domain which does nothing else then 301 to our companysite. I know that linkbuilding to a 301'd domain is an old blackhat tactic, that's the main reason I don't feel good about this. But i can't really find any info on this subject.

I have 87,636 links to my website from a single domain, is this bad?
Hi guys I have 87,636 links from one website, of which 75,189 of those link to my homepage using my website name as the anchor. Another has 29,811 links back to my website, again the majority of the links using my website name as the anchor. Is this a bad thing? Let me explain how this has happened - a company by the name of Daylife uses our RSS feed and distributes this to hundreds of their clients, which include indiatimes, usatoday, dallasnews etc, now I noticed that the majority of these websites all link back to our website with the same anchor text used several times on a single page. Attached is an example. Would this be a bad thing seen as the majority of these links have the same anchor text and link to my homepage? Looking at my GWT there is an estimated 183,373 backlinks that are all like this. Our traffic has dropped since Mr Panda hit and I am trying to find out if this could be adding to the problem. Thank you for you time links.jpg
