Moz crawl error? DA & Linking domains significant drop.
-
Hi guys!
Our site www.carwow.co.uk appears to have been punched in the face by the latest Moz update. It's claiming our #linking root domains has dropped from 225 to 135 and has subsequently hit our DA from 38 to 35.
We haven't disavowed any links and our off-site strategy has been going well the past 2 months. Search performance has increased by around 15% (around 5k sessions) and rankings have improved week on week.
Any idea if this is a Moz error? That's almost a 50% drop in linking root domains.
Thanks,
James

My domain authority dropped by 2 points and page authority dropped by 1. From what I gather DA/PA are meaningless metric but I suppose it feels good for both to be high.

The good news is that the search engines don't use the Moz metrics in their updates, if that makes you feel any better. It could be that we just didn't crawl some of the domains that we crawled previously. I haven't seen any other reports of lots of linking root domains missing. Could you send in an email to [email protected] so we can send it to the proper team to make sure there wasn't an error in the latest update?
Thanks!
Keri

Integrating Moz with DashThis
I'm trying out DashThis as a way to visualize data for clients with whom we do a combo of SEO, PPC, and SEM work. I like the main Moz Pro campaign dashboard page for distilling top-level information and the rankings page for tracking keyword ranks. In an ideal world, I'd love to be able to sort replicate these within DashThis. I see that DashThis does integrate with Moz but looking at the Mozscape API documentation I couldn't tell if this type of integration is possible in DashThis. I realize this is a super specific question, but I thought I'd ask the community if this integration is possible or if I have more limited range of options.

DA not updated???
My campaign shows my DA has raised from 10 to 12 but on my open site explorer/on Moz bar it's still showing 10... My competitors are all showing their updated DA on Moz bar and open site explorer - is this an error with my website or is it simply slow to update?

MOZ Bar recognizes a link as No-Followed even when there's no evidence of nofollow nor external tag
Hi! I've seen that the Moz bar recognizes some links as NoFollowed, even when technically are followed.

One example of that is this page: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonTraining I've attached an image to clarify.
The link is just: <a class="https" <span="">href="https://rmotr.com"> there is no evidence of no following tag (such as external, nofollow, etc). Thanks!

Why did my Domain Authority drop all the way to 1
The Domain Authority on my sites has dropped all the way down to 1. This seems to have happened recently, although i'm not sure when or what the ranking used to be. Could this have anything to do with the "catastrophic failure of the hard disk" on 1/8/2016? https://community.uservoice.com

Linking Moz with Excel to compare links enmass
Hi all, I'm looking for a solution which will allow me to sort a list of links by pagerank. There seems to be a couple of solutions online but neither work for me due to various updates since they were created. Can anyone give me a solution which will work today - Perhaps using Google Sheets/Excel? I have a Moz Pro subscription. Thanks, Sam
