Why my DA dropped Suddenly?

-
I need info on embedding youtube videos inside blog posts as well. As per a study i found after inclusion of youtube embeds inside posts, the DA drops allot. But when we remove the embeds then DA comes back to normal.
Can somebody explains what is it with this behavior of DA?

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
The change you've noticed would be due to the fact that we updated the way in which we calculate DA as of March 5th. The new DA has been launched with the purpose of improving our ability to predict a site’s ranking ability with even better accuracy. This update aims to give us a more accurate depiction of your site’s influence over time.
This doesn't mean we’ve started from scratch with our calculations; in fact, all of the features that went into the old DA model are also present in the new DA model as we’ve added more complexity around them. This includes a better understanding and consideration for the quality of the site linking to the site you’re researching, and links to a page that redirect to another page.
Please note, when tracking your DA and the Link Building work you’re performing, DA should always be looked at in comparison to your target competitors, never as a standalone metric.
You can read more about this here https://moz.com/domain-authority-2.0
I hope this helps but please let us know if there's more we can help to clarify!

Our Domains DA has dropped from 52 to 17
Hi,
Link Explorer | | JudyLam
Our domain's DA (www.tricorglobal.com) has dropped drastically from 52 to 17 on Mar 2019. And has only gone up to 21 now. Is there a reason why this happened. On the other hand, our competitor's score has increased. Is there a valid reason for this? How can I find out what is hurting our DA and how can I fix this?1 -
[URGENT] Domain Authority drops from 25 to 1
Hello, We have about 9 websites connected to moz. We frequently are checking reports and crawls. From November 24 to December 18th there was a dramatic drop from 25 to 1 one only one of our sites. Our Linking C-Blocks went from 2 to 0, Domain MozRank went from 3.75 to zero. Essentially everything that we have worked for and ranked in for the past 5 years of the website being live dropped to zero. We are extremely frustrated and we are doing everything out of our power to figure out what may have happened. Here are a few things that we have done in that time and we are hoping someone might be able to direct us in the right direction on what may be the issue. We are in the process of pushing our new website. We have added our new website to a site_root_2 directory. In this directory we have robots no follow metas and a robots.txt. We do this prior to pushing our new websites. We move our website to the root when it is done. We have also forced all our urls to https. If anyone could help us get to the bottom of this issue we would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

I am 100% is a technical problem, cannot be 1 for 6 month. How we can check if DA is wrong? Domain is : iuppy.ro With respect,

DA hasn't Moved over
We moved our site over a couple of weeks ago from bi-mi.com to bimi.co - its a magento site. We followed instructions to wait 2 weeks and upload a coming soon page etc to help google realise it was not just a parked domain. We moved everything over and then set a hta record up to redirect the "bi-mi" base domain to "bimi" , we then logged teh site move within web master tools also and I set the bimi.co preferred url etc. However its been about a week and half now and the DA is still showing as 1 and bi-mi (the old site that is redirecting) is showing as 18 Is it just patience needed here or have any of you also come across this issue?

OSE Stats - Number of Unique C IP's and PA/DA keep going up and down. Why?
For the past 3 months (if not more) I have been checking my sites stats on OSE and have noticed drastic decreases and increases in unique C-IP's, ranging from 600 to 1200. I have also noticed the PA & DA going up and down by 5 points. We have a talented team that work hard to market our business ethically with strong content and PR relationships, white-hat link building all the way, active social media and a dedicated on-site technical team. The data from MajesticSEO seems to be a lot more steady and consistent. Why is OSE showing drastic changes in 1 to 2 week intervals? Many thanks Ross
