Domain Authority Dropped to 1 from 13
-
Hi,
Our domain authority was at 13 two months ago and it dropped to 1 one and half month ago, I waited for MozUpdate but still no luck.
my question is if my domain name doesn't have proper non www to www redirect, moz tool will show authority correctly?
How do I check if redirect is proper for Moz to account it ?
website is working fine though, no problem to redirect from non www to www.com website.
Regards,
Vishal

Also, what links are you building?! Link building the wrong way can definitely backfire.

It will take our tools some time to pick up on recent backlink growth. With any luck, our tools will find and index those new links to your site that you've been earning, and you'll start to see your Domain Authority increase over time.

Hi,
When DA was at 13 we had 0 backlinks. no social traffic or nothing just paid traffic.
now I started link building some tools shows 16 some 5 but pretty sure at least 2 links are there,
Just saying that 0 backlinks DA was 13, now 2 backlinks from DA90+ and it dropped to 1.

Hi Vishal, Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.
As long as you've got a redirect properly in place from the non-www version of your URL to the www version, or vice versa, that should be enough for our tools to follow and find links pointing back to your site. It sounds like Martijn, below, is correct - your site probably isn't well represented in our Mozscape Index. Luckily, just by searching for your site with Open Site Explorer, you're prompting our crawler to visit your site, so hopefully within the next one or two index update cycles you'll start to see your Domain Authority improve.
Martijn is also correct that working on improving your backlink profile is one of the most effective ways of boosting your Domain Authority - that's a great place to start!
I hope this helps! If you've still got some questions for us, feel free to give us a shout at help@moz.com.

Hi Vishal,
Usually 1 will mean that Moz didn't include your domain in their latest index. Which is also bad news as it means you didn't have enough links from other sites to really pop up in their search across the web. What I would focus on is building links so in a future update you will be included. In this case it won't mean much as DA 13 was not super high and might have caused you to drop out on the next update.
Martijn.

Link Explorer is not working for particular domain
Hello, Linking Domain section in Link Explorer is not working fine for sewingmachineprice.com. When I put this domain to analyze for backlinks it says, "You entered the URL https://sewingmachineprice.com/ which redirects to www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=sewingmachineprice&e=com. Click here to analyze www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=sewingmachineprice&e=com instead." In fact, this domain is not redirected to any third domain or URL. I personally checked it and can access this website without any redirection.

MOZ doesn't work for .dating and .chat domain extensions
I have been a MOZ subscriber for a few years now. I don't think MOZ works for .dating and .chat domain extensions. I have 2 sites that have authority 1 despite back links. Here are the details: https://oooo.dating > DA = 1 https://talk.chat > DA = 1 oooo has 221 links (Google search console) talk has 1317 links (Google search console) May be a MOZ staff member can look into this. If you are customer and use some of the newer domain extensions please share your details if you have the same problem.

Top Pages Report References URLs from a Different Domain
I am running a Top Pages Report using Open Site Explorer and it's returning that the top pages for examplesiteA.org are examplesiteB.com. Important to note that examplesiteA.org was a dormant domain for a few years. We recently purchased it and are in the process of reviving it. Has anyone experienced this before? Would this suggest that canonical link elements were put in place prior to it going dormant and that the top pages for this site are now assumed to be on examplesiteB.com?

Not existing domains linking to my website (spam)
Hello, When i run my platform www.taobao.nl through https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/ i see a lot of nasty adult domains that link to my platform. These give a very negative (spam)score to my platform. I already disavowed quite a few via Webmastertools, but they keep coming. When i check the names in the Whois, they don't even seem to exist! (anymore) What could cause this and how can i end it?? Thanks for your help! Sander

Permanent 301 - Domain Authority
Hi, we created a new website which we also gave a new url.
Link Explorer | | DIGIHOUSE
We made a permanent 301 for the complete domain. www.digihouse.at -> www.digihouse-werbeagentur.at Google checked that and we rank minimum as good as with the old domain.
But in MOZ Tools the Domain Authority is very bad now.
So i think the 301 influences Google but not the Moz Tools?
The Domain Authority will not be inherited in Moz Tools? thxChris0 -
Page Authority dropped to 1 for subdirectory in my site
Hey, one of my sites https://www.automationanywhere.com/testing has had all it's pages drop to a page authority of 1 in Moz and the campaign doesnt appear to be indexing any pages from this directory. We launched a new site in this directory on the 12th and havent been getting any moz love since. The pages are indexable and followable, and are being indexed by google and others. The site on the root domain has been unaffected. Please help me get my moz campaign back on track. Thanks!
