DmT Dropped
-
My question sounds stupid . But I had a good Moz rank for my Domain also Moz trust.It was in the high 400s for both..I was very happy with this score My DA also dropped considerably. There was not much of a reason i could see,In fact my page scores still were up there and never moved. But the domain scores plummeted.
I had added a Blog to my site once i added the blog there were roughly 13 pages involved.Of these 13 pages i had problem errors ,notices ,and warnings for all the blog pages.I did not notice this until a couple days ago . The 13 errors were mostly duplicate description tags ,302 redirect ,and other small stuff like this ..
like fl** Could these items listed above actually be the problem behind my scores all dropping like flies??** And with the update being only 3 days away if i repaiir these right away do you think i will get my scores back ?? Or will i have to wait for another 30 days ...I really dont want to be left standing with such a low score ..I already started making the repairs.
Thank you all...

I was suspecting that i may have lost some important links that perhaps expired last month..Not sure of a great method to track my links BUT i think from this point on i better figure a way to keep a keen eye on my links and when they fall off ..
thanks

The problem you had with the blog can be one of the factors why your DA has dropped, even though I would also check if are existing external reasons, as links your site had and now not anymore...
Another factor to take into account is that the Linkscape's September Update came with few changes, that can have recalculated your DA giving you the impression of a drop. More about it here: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/linkscape-september-update-feedback
Finally, if you want to have with you the official definitions of the metrics used by SEOmoz, I suggest you to bookmark this page: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/about

New URL, new physical address, New Name. 30 point drop in Domain Authority. Yikes.
I have a client who is asking for SEO help after renaming their business, getting a new URL, and somehow having an address change (without moving to a new location...weird...I know). This has set them back big time in terms of their domain authority (they went from a 46 to a 15 in DA). The web developers they work with put a 302 redirect in place from their old URL (home page), which had 10,477 links from 52 root domains, to their new URL's home page. Open site explorer shows that they now have 5 links! We can improve some of the local search set backs from the name and address change with a citation audit and clean up, but the domain name change is a killer. So here's my question or questions, really: Do we need to manually rebuild links with partner websites? I know there is debate around the actual link juice passed along from a 302 vs a 301 redirect (despite what has been publicly stated by Google). Or is this just a waiting game while old links get recrawled?

Search traffic steady, Landing pages receiving traffic had massive drop
Following the week of Google's major algorithm update in January, we saw this graph in our Moz dashboard. (green bars are # of landing pages receiving traffic from search, blue line is traffic from search) Traffic from SEO grew slightly, but number of landing pages receiving traffic fell by more than 50%. We didn't make any changes to sitemap, rel=canonical, number of pages being published, etc. Traffic from top keywords held consistent. Number of pages/images google crawled and indexed grew per webmaster tools. Big spike in Nov/Dec is because we are in retail, seasonal not technical issues. Is anyone else experience the same thing? An algo change? Or something more specific to our site? Quality traffic is what we care about, so number of pages traffic is going to could be a positive thing (easier to optimize). But jury is out.

Organic Traffic Drops to Zero After Site Migration
I know this question is terribly general . . . but I don't even know where to start in terms of sharing info, which I would be glad to post on request. My site was recently re-designed and migrated to a new server. I certainly expected SOME drop in traffic as google gets the snew site all figured out, but as you can see this drop has been dramatic. It's a simple wordpress site, I have yoast ptimized on it, I don't have many obvious errors that have not already been fixed that I can see.

Why did my rankings drop so fast?
Hi Mozzers, One of my clients have suffered from a sudden ranking loss that started beginning of August. A little background: My client is a big cleaning company that has many franchises nationwide and had very good rankings for the past few months. Generally the busiest time of the year is summer and the 4th quarter is the slowest. Organic Traffic generally drops by 5 to 10% between Q3 and Q4 of each year. 2 things have caught my attention while investigating these ranking losses The latest recent Update from the moz index evaluated the website's DA of 48 when in the summer we had a DA of 56. Never seen such a drop before!! My first question is how accurate is the moz index? How can I make sure this data is accurate? I am very surprised because we have been working hard on getting good quality links for the past year and a half. If the DA is accurate then that could explain the ranking loss Google updating its search engine to the Hummingbird version. Do you guys think this has anything to do with the drop in rankings? The content on the website is not the best but is fairly decent. I am still not sure how the ranking drop could be related to Hummingbird? I have also checked webmaster tools to see if I got hit somehow by penguin and it seems fine. Thanks mozzers

Big drop in Moz Domain Authority in the latest mozscape update
hi, Before Moz were forced to roll back the moz scape I saw a drop in all 3 of my campaigns domain authority; 42 > 39
Moz Pro | | FDFPres
39 > 35
24 > 22 I am employing differing tactics on these campaigns, one of which i would say leans towards the less white (the one in the middle of those stats). The other 2 however are all clean. So, did anyone else see a drop in DA before moz retracted the figures? was there an issue with the latest moz update? Thanks in advance.0 -
MozTrust suddenly dropped to zero. Link data now unavailable???
I'm running an SEOMoz campaign for a small site to monitor some tweaks I've made and testing new things out. Over a year or so the changes were great - organic traffic was rising, domain metrics were too. Then in October 2012 domain trust, Moztrust and all other link metrics went to zero. There's no data in OSE for this particular small site and as far as I can tell, no impact on search. The limited number of inbound links all appear to be intact and there's no reason why the site would be hit by Panda/Penguin style updates. Why has this sudden loss of data occurred? Is the site no longer in SEOMoz's databases? Without any link data it's difficult to tell why this has happened. If it is no longer in the Moz database, how do I get it back - that data was useful!
