      Hi, I just got up today to see that my 2 sites - Site1 and Site2 got dropped from 25 to 23 and from 22 to 16.

      I am so confused why did this happen, I could not see any spam links and so. Is there any fault that has been detected.

                Hi Moz community,

                Recently experienced a sudden drop in Domain Authority (DA) after link-building efforts. Any quick insights or advice on how to address this?

                Thanks!

                    Domain authority depends on certain factors.

                    1. you should regularly update the content on website, because inactivity may result in a drop in DA.
                    2. Engaging in excessive link exchange or using automated links etc.
                    3. The domain authority of the website may suffer if your backlink profile is overburdened with an excessive amount of identical anchor texts. The rationale is that if your website contains a lot of the same anchor text, Google may conclude that you are attempting to improve the site's position for that particular term. As a result, vary up your anchor texts and avoid using the same term over.
                    4. Excessive keyword overload
                    5. Slow site speed
                    6. Your competitor sites are performing better than your site.

                    Hope this helps.

                        I'm a bit perplexed by the fact that my website's domain authority dropped from 14 to 13 after only a four-day hiatus. It seems unlikely that such a brief break would be the sole cause. What other factors might have contributed to this decline in domain authority, especially considering my website focuses on content creation and study abroad?

                            https://www.realestatephotos.melbourne does not have any backlinks and has a DA of 1.
                            This site ranks first for keywords - real estate photography melbourne and property photography melbourne.
                            Not sure why.
                            URL contains keywords and site is ok. But other sites with many links and higher DA rank lower. Why? Garry

                            da page authority

                            Hello everyone. My website (I am attaching the link to it, if you cannot attach the link remove it but please give me an answer) https://mejorhora.com/ 3 MONTHS ago I made different redirections from other websites that I have with high authority in order to increase both the Da and the DR since I sell links to that website and it suits me. Ahref showed me all the links after a few days, also in search console. However, in Moz it does not recognize more than 500 new domains that give me links. Because? It's been 3 months... What should I do?

                            Moz Domain Authority [Megathread]

                            domain authority da

                            Hey Moz Community, We've noticed that there are questions about Domain Authority, what it is, and how to positively impact it. We're here to answer your questions! For a full overview, please see our help hub article here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority First, it's important to keep in mind that Domain Authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score developed by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search engine result pages (SERPs). It is not a Google ranking factor. Domain Authority scores range from one to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a greater likelihood of ranking. Since DA is based on machine learning calculations, your site's score will often fluctuate as more, fewer, or different data points become available and are incorporated into those calculations. For instance, if facebook.com were to acquire a billion new links, every other site’s DA would drop relative to Facebook’s. Because more established and authoritative domains like Facebook will have increasingly larger link profiles, they take up more of the high-DA slots, leaving less room at the higher end of the scale for other domains with less robust link profiles. Therefore, it's significantly easier to grow your score from 20 to 30 than it is to grow it from 70 to 80. For this reason, it’s important to use Domain Authority as a comparative metric rather than an absolute one. The best way to influence your DA is to improve your overall site health with a focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site. Check out this video for more details on how to impact DA Happy analyzing!

                            How To Increase Blog DA to 50+

                            Hey, I am wondering to know the key metrics which MOZ considers before giving a blog of DA 50+. I have tried to search but couldn't find the best answers so was wondering how it's achieved. For example a site named "SportsALA" have a DA of 20 but i see they have links from many sites. I have checked other sites as well for example and they have less RDs but still had higher DA. Can anyone help me to explain Moz DA 2.0 factors a bit more. Thanks

                            Drop in Rankings After Removing Links

                            So  I removed some links to a particular homepage for one of the sites we own, this page had A LOT of links pointing to it using exact match anchors. And for the most part the links were coming from low quality pages/content. After removing a good chunk of them I noticed are rankings went down from around 8-9th two weeks ago to 21 as of today. Has anyone else had a problem like this before? I'm thinking about restoring some of these links now to see if I can recover some of that. Any thoughts on doing this? Thanks

                            Do you have PA and DA minimums for link building outreach?

                            Hi all!  I'm putting together a list of sites I want to attack for link building.  I'm looking at my competitors while also seeking specific sites I know would work well to link to us. My question is, since this is very time-consuming, do you have a minimum PA and/or DA that you require in order to perform manual link-building outreach. For example, if a site has a DA below X and PA below X, what would X have to be for you to not consider it worth your time. I'm just trying to gauge where my efforts will be best spent and trying to get some benchmarks.  Thanks!
