Domain Authority is logarithmic and compares your site against all of the other sites in the Moz index. Sites can be compared against one another within a specific crawl, but you can't reasonably compare your own site crawl to crawl - since each crawl may end up pulling in information for different sites which therefore adjusts your placement within the overall scheme of authority. Fluctuations between a few points (like 10 and 13) is therefore completely normal.
In short - your authority probably hasn't "decreased", it's just that the index from the latest crawl has a higher median number of LRDs than the previous index.
I hope that makes sense.

Hi Tourtravel,
Domain Authority is also an important factor to improve your blog ranking in search engine.Domain Authority ( also known as DA ) is calculation of certain cause made by SEOmoz (a big shot in the world of Search Engine Optimization) to show authority of a website. It’s like Alexa Ranking and Google Page Rank but webmasters and Advertisers pay special attention on DA as it is calculated by considering both.
As you know that Domain & Page Authority of website can be increase & decreases. If you do quality link building according Google Algorith then you will have increase in Domain & Page autority, so overall website reputation increases but if don't perform the Google guidelines then Page & domain autority decreases, also website reputaion decreases.
The explaination of Page & Domain Autority is here: http://moz.com/blog/introducing-seomoz-updated-page-authority-and-domain-authority
Moz published description of some factors used in calculating SEOmoz Domain Authority.http://moz.com/blog/googles-algorithm-pretty-charts-math-stuff

8 point decrease in DA, increase in search traffic- should I disavow links?
Would a decrease in DA reflect the need to disavow junk links? My branded keywords recently bumped down two spots, whereas the keywords which have been bringing me the most traffic have been unaffected. Site: Edwardsturm.com DA decrease of 8 over past 3 months. Keyword "Edward Sturm" recently moved to second spot.

Domain Authority Droped 4 Points
Hi there, After the Last Mozscape index update: 08/27/2013Our DA along with all our competitors DA has dropped 4 points, Is there any reason for this ?Have others seen the same thing? Any suggestions of building DA again fast ? The owner of the company gets the reports from Moz and it really doesn't look good. Is it expected to bounce back ?

Why did Domain Authority go up so much? Did you change your measurement?
Our Domain Authority has been at 42 or 43 for a couple months and it just increased to 54. Why did this happen? I would like to think that it is because of out SEO and linkbuilding work. However, I suspect something else may be involved because the 3 competitors we track also all increased between 10 to 25 points at the same time. What happened? Did you make changes in the way you score DA or is this the result of changes in what pages you crawl? Or what?

How fast can Domain Authority be established?
I am wondering how much time it takes to grow a new site's domain authority. More so, based on a consistent stream of links, syndication, and content, how fast can a website grow from 0-20, 21-40, 41-60, etc. in terms of domain authority?

Page Authority vs Domain Authority
I'm hoping this is a quick and simple question. Sometimes when using the open site explorer or the keyword difficulty tool i find that some pages have a higher "page authority" than the "domain authority." That seemed odd to me, is there a correlation between the two? You would think by default as you grow your page authority the domain authority increases as well? So i guess my question would be, what happens on a page to give it a higher page authority than domain authority?

Domain Authority: Sites with lower numbers get higher ranking.
We had a question about your online tools for http://pro.seomoz.org/campaigns/30642 The Domain Authority for http://pucherinsurance.com/ is 67: Higher than most of our competitors such as <cite><cite>bluecross.ca which has a rank of 54. </cite> </cite> We show up lower in the actual search results. An example phrase would be Visitors to Canada health Insurance. We get an A grade for onsite reports and we are working on the duplicate content and titles. We appear to be doing everything right but still rank lower than expected. Any thoughts?
