        @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.

                                                          Certainly:

                                                          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/

                                                                      While I checked it using Semrush, the domain rating remains same, but in Moz the domain authority dropped from 10 to 5 without any reason. 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!

                                                                              The spammy links are not yet completely removed, but with some effort, my website is recovering organically!

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.

                                                                                              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.

                                                                                                          Hello Mozzers! Couple of days ago I received a request to start optimizing a wordpress website, the domain itself has been around for around 10-12 years so it's it can be considered as one that has real history behind it.  The page has been moved from HTML/FLASH to wordpress about 3 - 4 years ago and hasn't been any SEO maintenance on it. The site used to rank for first position with several keywords, but now understandably, it has greatly decreased. My main question would be, that when I've checked the root domain's and the subdomain's metrics with MOZ Open Site Explorer, the sub domain (with "www.") showed a PA 40 and 90 external links while the root domain (without "www.") only has 27 PA and 6 External links. I know that the 301 or server redirects only transfers about 90% of the link juice to the targeted URL but the difference between the 2 results seem way too big for me. What do you think? Is this normal?
                                                                                                          During future link building is it more beneficial to target the root domain so the page won't lose that "10%" by redirecting the new link from sub-domain to root domain?
                                                                                                          Is it possible to get more juice transferred? Thank you very much,
                                                                                                          Adam

                                                                                                          For some reason, our websites seem to be missing a number of authoritative inbound linking domains which seems to be a primary driver in lowering our domain authority as compared to our competition. Does anyone have any feedback as to why this might not be populating or is there something additional we need to do to have these show up?  If it doesn't show up in MOZ is it likely that Google might also not be seeing these as inbound link domains? Thanks as always MOZ Community!

                                                                                                          We saw a sudden drop of about 10-12 positions on a couple of core keywords. We received no messages in Webmaster Tools. I have been on board only 2 months. I looked back at the linking profile and there are some spammy things I would never have authorized. Most of it is a couple of years old, although it seems Google is still just starting to "discover" some of the links.  There are maybe 15 domains with spammy links to us and each of them have anywhere from 5-20 different links pointing our way. Should I setup the disavow file for Google? My concern is I draw attention to this and it may not be the reason we have dropped.

It's from a woman I met once in my life on a long run with my running club. That was two years ago. Now she wants me to endorse her -- even though I know nothing about her professionally. But wait, there's more. She's not much of a runner. As it happens, I know a thing  or two about fitness -- having edited a fitness magazine and worked on websites for many top fitness and nutrition pros. The idea of an MSW doing fitness programs for people with medical problems raises all kinds of red flags. She sent this Facebook IM: Hi Daniel - hope all is well! I was wondering if you can share my page with your friends, with the following message (or something similar). Thank you so much in advance!

                                                                                                          Hi all, I'm managing the seo for a hosting company. We have a lot of parked domains with a parked domain page. This will now be updated to promote our products. When this page is updated it will give 50k+ of low quality links to specific pages almost overnight. We curently don't have a very good seo ranking for our keywords, so there is little risk on the downside in the short term. Do you have any suggestions as to how I should go about this? Some alternatives off the top of my head: 1. get the page up an focus all the link equity on relevant pages with keywords in anchor text 2. add noindex / nofollowto all pages or only part of them to avoid puishment 3. add noindex /  to the majority of the pages and "release" a percentage every week or so to avoid a "link bomb" Thanks for any and all input!
