Domain Authority
-
Hi There,
I'm in a state of panic as my site has been progressing well however today I log into Moz and see the DA drop by 12 ! this has never occured and was increasing nicely over the last few months.
Does anyone know if there has been a global change that may be effecting my site. Or any issues with Moz DA tool?
Any help is greatly appreciated
-
I was so confident ours would increase been working so hard sad times all around

Thank Godness, we're not the only ones. We lost 8 points in DA and there was total panic since all in all, we had been gaining some fantastic links from very notable media sites and were looking forward to a higher ranking and then suddenly WHAM!.
Whew! this cheers me up.

Agreed, read Rand's post it explains it well. I just finished creating a spreadsheet of us and our competitors with their PA/DA scores and rank for our #1 term, which I will use as a measuring tool going forward. PA/DA is important, but not as much as your ranking.

Thanks for that Ria. Ill get to that post right now

Check out Rand's explanation of the huge fluctuations in DA/PA this month (https://mza.seotoolninja.com/community/q/da-pa-fluctuations-how-to-interpret-apply-understand-these-ml-based-scores). He explains it rather nicely.
Always best to compare your DA score against your competitors', rather than against your historical scores alone. Causes less panic too! But yeah, it seems many websites are reporting huge drops in DA. Doesn't necessarily mean that your website quality/authority has decreased since last update.

If it helps it does seem a lot of competitors have significantly dropped as well in DA score. Someone please tell me there is an issue with the tool

Unsolved Feature to add to my site to give people a domain score for their own site
Looking to add a feature on my website to invite people to submit their domain to get an SEO score (and a report). How do I do that? I think it involves the Moz API but not sure.

Frequency of Moz page authority updates?
I have some new pages on my site, and Moz gives them a very low PA ranking. I am wondering if these scores are updated monthly or quarterly? I'm not sure how frequently to check back for updated scoring.

Domain Authority - 10 point drop. Should i be worried
We have had a steady rise over the past year and as the DA results came out i was extremely disappointed to see a 10 point drop. Competitors have also dropped but not by this figure. We have been continuing with the work we have been doing all year. Not the best news to have to share with the client. Would you use DA as a KPI or is it a little unreliable?

Bulk Page Authority Tracking
Hi Is there a way in Moz to identify your page authority by landing page, possibly crawling the site and providing this in bulk so you don't have to go through and check each page? I want to track how my page authority for certain pages moves over time. Thank you
