      @stuartmccloud said in Why My Domain Authority Dropped:

      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.

      It's frustrating to see your DA drop despite quality backlinks. Check for any technical issues like site speed or crawl errors. Also, ensure the backlinks are from diverse sources and relevant to your niche. Consider seeking professional SEO advice for a comprehensive audit and strategy adjustment.

        Previously, my Domain Authority (DA) on Moz was 14, but it appears to have dropped to 11. However, according to Ahrefs, my website now has a DA of 11. I'm curious about the discrepancy between the two platforms. Can anyone provide insights into why this might be happening?

                      Hello, the domain authority of my website has dropped from 25 to 21. Despite consistently publishing high-quality content, I'm puzzled about the criteria used to calculate domain authority. Can you shed some light on this?

                        While Semrush shows no change in domain rating, Moz indicates a drop in domain authority from 10 to 5 without explanation. I'm committed to producing quality content and building strong backlinks, yet the sudden appearance of spam backlinks complicates matters. Any advice on how to address this?

                                    On my client website, the issue was that the DA decreased again, I tested all the things but in vain. After that I came accross to Moz . so I aduited that site. The isssue was found that there site viewing speed as low on mobile view due to huge size of images. The images was very eycatching but it was necessary to overcome this issue. So that I recommanded them to compress images size . In this way that reduced image size in kb and that they got good result back.

                                          It's natural to be concerned about a decline in domain authority. Analyzing the data is key to understanding the possible reasons behind the drop. Your dedication to maintaining a strong online presence is evident in your commitment to understanding the situation. I'll review your site and see if there are any insights I can provide to help address this issue.

                                            Domain Authority (DA) can drop for several reasons, including:

                                            Algorithm Updates: Changes to the algorithm used to calculate Domain Authority by services like Moz can result in fluctuations. If Moz updates their algorithm and your site's metrics change, your DA could drop.

                                            Loss of High-Quality Backlinks: Backlinks from authoritative sites contribute significantly to DA. If your site loses some of these backlinks, either due to the linking site removing the link or changes in their own authority, your DA might decrease.

                                            Poor Quality Backlinks: If your site gains a lot of low-quality or spammy backlinks, this can negatively impact your DA. Search engines like Google penalize sites for such links, which can affect your overall authority.

                                            Content Quality: The quality and relevance of your content can also impact DA. If your content is outdated, low-quality, or not relevant to your target audience, it can affect your site's authority.

                                            Site Structure and Performance: Issues with your site's structure, loading speed, mobile-friendliness, or security can also affect your DA. Search engines favor sites that provide a good user experience.

                                            Competition: Changes in the DA of competing sites can also impact your own DA. If your competitors improve their SEO efforts, it can make your site appear relatively less authoritative.

                                            It's important to regularly monitor your site's DA and address any issues that may arise, such as improving content quality, acquiring high-quality backlinks for Letter of Credit , and ensuring your site's technical aspects are up to date.

                                                      It's a very good question. I do not believe that SEO is dead as some of the members suggested here. However, Google has made it very difficult for the people who were copy pasting content from AI based chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini. The content has to be original and it must not be written by some chatbot in order to get it ranked on Google. Furthermore, the UI/UX design also needs to be more user friendly. If you want to learn more, you can take a course in SEO. Currently I'm doing a course from Hadi E-Learning and I'm happy with their teaching methods.

                                                        I've noticed a significant decrease in my domain authority, going from a solid DA 9 down to DA 7. While I'm currently diving into the data to understand what might have caused this drop, I'm still in the process of finding concrete answers. Here is my site https://capcutpremium.com/

                                                          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://ngobrolgames.com/

Can you please suggest what to I need to do to improve the domain authority. I am putting quality contents and strong backlinks. However, when spam back links automatically links how to deal with them.

                                                                    I'm experiencing a similar situation with the domain authority dropping unexpectedly. It's perplexing to see such a significant decrease in domain authority on Moz without any apparent reason, especially when the domain rating remains the same on Semrush.

DA is a score created by Moz, and Ahrefs has a similar score called DR. Both are based on the number and quality of backlinks, but they use different methods to calculate them. Google has its own way of evaluating websites, which is not disclosed to the public. However, Google provides some tools and guidelines to help you optimize your website for its search engine, such as Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Google PageSpeed Insights, Google Lighthouse, Webmaster Guidelines, and Quality Rater Guidelines. You can use these resources to improve your site’s performance, quality, and visibility on Google. 😊

                                                                            What is the reason? This is the first time I faced this.

                                                                            I also encountered a drop in my website's DA after Google's recent update. My site went from DA6 to DA2. The main reason was the removal of some spammy links. However, with consistent SEO efforts over the past month, I'm thrilled to share that the DA has bounced back to its initial position. Remember, these fluctuations are quite normal, and proactive SEO practices can lead to positive outcomes over time. Keep optimizing and stay patient!

This kind of connection is considered suspicious by Google, which might result in penalties being applied to your page.

                                                                                Low-Quality Backlinks: Spammy or low-quality backlinks pointing to your website can negatively impact your domain authority. These backlinks may come from irrelevant or suspicious websites, link farms, or black hat SEO practices.

                                                                                Thin Content: If your website contains thin or low-quality content, it may be seen as less authoritative by search engines. This could include content that is copied from other sources, lacks depth or relevance, or is stuffed with keywords.

                                                                                Keyword Stuffing: Overusing keywords in your content or meta tags in an attempt to manipulate search engine rankings can result in penalties from search engines.

                                                                                Spammy or Malicious Content: If your website contains spammy or malicious content, such as hidden text, links to malware, or deceptive advertising, it can harm your domain authority and reputation.

                                                                                Technical Issues: Technical issues such as slow page speed, broken links, or improper redirects can negatively impact user experience and, consequently, your website's authority.

                                                                                To improve your website's domain authority and address spam issues, here are some steps you can take:

                                                                                Audit Backlinks: Conduct a thorough audit of your backlink profile to identify any spammy or low-quality links. Disavow any harmful backlinks using Google's Disavow Tool and focus on acquiring high-quality, relevant backlinks from authoritative websites.

                                                                                Optimize Content: Review and optimize your website's content to ensure it is high-quality, relevant, and valuable to your target audience. Remove or update any thin or low-quality content, and focus on providing comprehensive, informative content that addresses your audience's needs and interests.

                                                                                Monitor Keyword Usage: Ensure that your keyword usage is natural and aligned with best practices. Avoid keyword stuffing and focus on creating content that is well-written and provides value to users.

                                                                                Check for Spam and Malicious Content: Regularly monitor your website for spammy or malicious content and promptly remove or address any issues. Use security plugins and tools to protect your website from malware and other security threats.

                                                                                Optimize Technical SEO: Address any technical issues on your website that may be impacting performance and user experience. This includes optimizing page speed, fixing broken links, and ensuring proper site structure and navigation.

                                                                                By addressing these issues and implementing best practices for SEO and website management, you can work towards improving your website's domain authority and overall performance.

                                                                                          For example:-

                                                                                            A drop in Domain Authority (DA) can be concerning, but understanding the causes can help in addressing the issue. Here are some key reasons why DA might drop, along with a solution:

                                                                                            Lost Backlinks: If websites that previously linked to your site remove those links or become inactive, your DA can decrease. Solution: Regularly monitor your backlink profile and seek new, high-quality backlinks.

                                                                                            Algorithm Updates: Search engines frequently update their algorithms, which can affect how they assess DA. Solution: Stay informed about algorithm updates and adjust your SEO strategy accordingly.

                                                                                            Reduced Search Visibility: A decline in keyword rankings can lead to a lower DA. Solution: Continuously optimize your content with relevant, high-ranking keywords.

                                                                                            Website Changes: Significant changes to your site's structure or content can impact DA. Solution: Ensure that any major website updates are SEO-friendly.

                                                                                            Competitor SEO Improvements: If your competitors enhance their SEO strategies, they may surpass you in DA. Solution: Regularly analyze your competitors' strategies and adapt.

                                                                                                      Can anyone please help in investigating the issue so the DA can be improved again? Thanks.

I obviously did something wrong. What are the causes of such a dramatic drop like that? Questions, suggestions, ideas, anything is welcome at this point. Thanks!

                                                                                                        As the title, some competitors I've been watching are using a PBN they (or their agency) have built. I'm looking to get some discussion on how you approach situations like this - do you just report all of the domains to Google and pray they do something? There are 4 sites I'm looking at, all competing in the same niche with very similar websites (different branding and content, but essentially the same pages). I thought all were related, but after Excel-ing all the domains to see which overlap I've found that there's several sets; PBN 1 covers 117 domains that link to competitors A, B & C. Signaling to me that these are owned by the same person. PBN 2 links together B & C with 30 domains, PBN 3 is just C with 40 domains. PBN 4 is just B with 105 domains. PBN 5 is just A with 10 domains. PBN 6 is D by itself with more than 340 domains. Signaling to me that this one probably isn't owned by the same person. It looks like new domains are added to these PBNs every week and this has been going on for quite some time. Now, I'm fully against use of PBNs that don't use authentic websites that provide value, and I can't find any of these sites that aren't just a basic WP template with a single-word text logo followed by spun content. This is a goldmine, because according to Ahrefs these sites are pulling in well over 500,000 monthly visitors between them, and these links make up the majority of each site's link profile. If these networks were to crumble, that would open up a big opportunity for more authentic sites to rank well. How would you recommend to tackle this? Do I find example URLs and write reports for each of the 500+ domains or are there better ways of working through this?

                                                                                                        Hi - excuse me if this is stupid question but I'm rather new to this. Currently the PA for the home page is 16 and the DA 28 and I have some concerns that my efforts are being diluted. When I use OSE on www.sassandgrace.co.uk I get different link results to sassandgrace.co.uk but there is a redirect in place to sassandgrace.co.uk and cannot run a crawl report, for example, on www.sassandgrace.co.uk. The PA and DA are identical for each but the number of links different With a smallish number of links pointing to each but with a redirect in place, am I losing some of the effect or is having the redirect in place giving me all the credit for links to both addresses? Thanks

                                                                                                        Hello Moz Friends, So as I was researching some competitive backlinks and I noticed a lot of backlinks that a clients competitor has are on parked domains and they appear to be google ads from some point. You know the pages that this page no longer exists, or hey do you want to buy this domain? and it has like 6 google ads on it? Yep those pages. My clients industry is construction and their competitor has links from zombie websites, foreign, websites and more. But the links are no longer on the page. Like when it was crawled, their ad was showing. Does this make any sense and is it usually temporary? Thank you for your thoughts friends!

                                                                                                        So we are the agent for an industrial company. They don't have a great website (well its pretty but doesn't rank) and have 5 product pages with a variety of products on each. We've taken those products and turned them into 50 pages with good on page optimisation. Now they've just agreed to give us a link on each page and I'm trying to figure out what the best text and link will be. As far as I can see there are three options Visit our agent for X region - sending to the home page If you are from X region you can request a sample of product group from our agent - sending to home page and product category page on our site If you are looking for X, Y, Z or P, Q, R in this region contact our agent there. - sending to home page and individual product pages The aim of this is to boost my page authority as 98% of the top 10 in SERPS have pages with zero authority and rely on the on page optimization and DA. Is this the best approach or are there other better ways of approaching the problem. It's worth noting that there is a total separation of control and ownership of the websites. I'm also starting to work with them to improve their on page optimisation and get links from their parent company to increase link juice

                                                                                                        Hello, a couple of years ago I started publishing on my site more than 10 posts a day of content that no one else had. For this reason, my competitors started paraphrasing my content without giving proper attribution, and they ranked better in Google. That's why I realized that apart from creating content I had to work on my SEO, so I started to get some backlinks, most of them via contests on blogs. I am getting about 1 high quality link from PR2, PR3 or PR4 blogs each week. According to Open Site Explorer, I have 20 root domain links (200 total links). In reality I have more backlinks but they don't show up (they do show up in Ahrefs, about 50 root domains). To my surprise, I only have 15 Domain Authority. This is the most evident example, take a look at this screenshot: http://imgur.com/dFk2rkx My website is on the far left, two of my competitors on the right. As you can see I win every category except total links and the most important, domain authority. Are total links that important for Domain authority, even if 99% are internal? By the way, I also have more posts than these guys, I don't know why the report says otherwise. Why is the site on the right ranking so high? The same thing happens with the rest of my competitors, they have a lot of low quality links from "lists of domain sites" and in general a lot of very spammy links. According to what I have been reading, my good quality links should be more helpful than my competitors'  spammy links, which should in fact affect them. So what is going on? I have no idea if I'm doing things right. Why is my domain authority so low? Thanks for your help. dFk2rkx
