          I had an ok domain authority. We focused on building backlinks for our website and it shows that we received a significant number of backlinks. However, today, our DA fell significantly. I don't understand why that happened. Can someone please help me with this situation?

          Thank you.

            Hi,
            A drop in Domain Authority (DA) can occur for several reasons, including:

            Backlink Loss: If you lost important backlinks or had toxic links removed, it can impact your DA.
            Increased Competition: If competitors improve their SEO efforts, your relative authority may decrease.
            Algorithm Changes: Search engines often update their algorithms, which can affect how DA is calculated.
            Content Issues: Low-quality or thin content can lead to a decrease in authority as search engines prioritize high-quality, relevant content.
            To address the drop, consider analyzing your backlink profile, enhancing content quality, and improving overall SEO strategies.

                  Domain Authority is a metric developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engine results pages.

                  Score Range: DA is scored on a scale from 1 to 100, with higher scores indicating a greater likelihood of ranking well.

                      Don't panic, MizbaCMU! Domain Authority can fluctuate. Did you see a change in the quality of your backlinks? Low-quality ones can hurt your score. Keep building good ones!

                            If your domain authority (DA) dropped after building a lot of backlinks, it could be due to a few reasons. Maybe some of the new backlinks are from low-quality or spammy sites, which can hurt your DA. Also, search engines and tools like Moz might update their algorithms or recalibrate their metrics, affecting your DA. Make sure your backlinks come from reputable sources and check if there are any recent changes in how DA is calculated. If things still seem off, reaching out to SEO experts or the tool’s support might help clear things up.

                              This happens for lots of reasons:

                              • Loss of Quality Backlinks

                              • Linking from Low-Quality or Spammy Sites:

                              • Content Issues

                              • Technical SEO Issues

                              • Algorithm Updates

                              • On-Page SEO Problems, etc.

                              Make sure your backlink profile is good and only getting quality backlinks, and your site structure is good, means - User friendly and responsive site design

                                    Hi, so compare your backlinks you have now, with before the drop, did any get deleted? if so, try to rebuild. we run a web design company, and if we get a good link, you can see the website move up in a few days, then once it gets deleted we can drop down Google's ranks- hope this helps.

                                        Your Domain Authority (DA) may have dropped due to factors like decreased backlink quality, loss of high-quality links, increased competition, or changes in search engine algorithms. Regularly monitor your backlinks, update content, and follow SEO best practices to maintain or improve your DA.

                                          Google algorithm update: DA scores are occasionally impacted by changes to Google's algorithm. It's probable that the upgrade has an impact on backlink value estimation.

                                          Backlinks of poor quality: Not all backlinks are made equal. If newly acquired backlinks originate from spammy or low-authority domains, Google might have given them less weight.

                                          Focus on high-quality backlinks and continue producing insightful content for your website. Your DA ought to fully recover soon.

                                            @MizbaCMU There are a couple of reasons why this might have happened:

                                            • Low-quality backlinks: Not all backlinks are created equal. Google may have discounted recently acquired backlinks if they come from low-authority or spammy websites.

                                            • Google algorithm update: Google's algorithm updates can sometimes impact DA scores. It's possible the update affected how backlinks are valued.

                                            Focus on building high-quality backlinks and keep creating valuable content for your site. Your DA should recover in time.

                                              I had an ok domain authority. We focused on building backlinks for our website and it shows that we received a significant number of backlinks. However, today, our DA fell significantly. I don't understand why that happened. Can someone please help me with this situation?

                                              Thank you.

                                              Hey there,

                                              I can totally relate to your situation. It's frustrating when you've put effort into building backlinks and then see a drop in domain authority (DA) seemingly out of nowhere. There could be several reasons behind this sudden decline. Sometimes, search engine algorithms update, which might affect how backlinks are evaluated. It could also be due to changes in competitor strategies or even technical issues on your website affecting crawlability or indexability.

                                              I've been experiencing something similar with my website recently, so I understand the concern. One thing that might help is to analyze your backlink profile more closely using tools like SEMrush or Ahrefs. Look for any sudden loss of quality links or spikes in toxic backlinks, as these could impact DA negatively.

                                              Hang in there, and hopefully, we can figure this out together!

                                              I understand your concern. It can be frustrating when domain authority (DA) drops unexpectedly despite efforts in building backlinks. I've experienced a similar issue with my website. Sometimes, fluctuations in DA can be influenced by various factors such as algorithm updates, changes in competitor activity, or even technical issues on the site itself.

                                              To diagnose the issue, it might be helpful to audit your backlink profile to ensure they are from high-quality sources and relevant to your content. Additionally, reviewing recent changes in SEO practices or updates in search engine algorithms could provide insights into what might have caused the drop.

                                              Hang in there! Understanding these fluctuations can be complex, but with careful analysis and adjustments, you can work towards improving your DA over time.

                                                  A drop in Domain Authority (DA) can be caused by several factors:

                                                  Algorithm Updates: Moz, the creator of Domain Authority, periodically updates its algorithm, which can lead to fluctuations in DA.

                                                  Loss of Backlinks: If your website loses high-quality backlinks, it can negatively impact your DA.

                                                  Quality of New Links: If your recent backlinks are of lower quality compared to your previous ones, it can reduce your DA.

                                                  Increased Competition: If competitors gain higher-quality backlinks, it can relatively lower your site's DA.

                                                  On-Page SEO Issues: Technical issues on your site, such as broken links, slow page speed, or poor mobile optimization, can affect your DA.

                                                  Content Quality: Outdated or low-quality content can lead to lower engagement and backlink acquisition, impacting DA.

                                                  Spam Score Increase: An increase in your website’s spam score can negatively affect your DA.

                                                  Regularly monitoring these factors and implementing SEO best practices can help maintain or improve your Domain Authority.

                                                    Hello guys. I am having issues with my linking domains. These domains are made outside of my website. I have tried to disavow these links but not able to do it. These are mostly from google redirects links. Here is the```

                                                    I read some old (10+ years) information on whether footer backlinks from the websites that design agencies build are seen as spammy and potentially cause a negative effect. We have over 150 websites that we have built over the last few years, all with sitewide footer backlinks back to our homepage (designed and managed by COMPANY NAME). Semrush flags some of the links as potential spammy links. What are the current thoughts on this type of footer backlink? Are we better to have 1 dofollow backlink and the rest of the website nofollow from each domain?

                                                    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://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/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!

                                                    Exact Domain Match does it help or distract?

                                                    Does owning / buying an exact domain match help or not necessary? For example our main website ranks for nearly 14,800 Keywords but one KW we are trying to get in the top spot for we are currently at the bottom of page #1. We do see an exact domain match available so we purchased it but i don't know if it would actually help us or distract us. I was thinking we could create an article about the keyword on that exact domain then do some on page seo and back linking. But would that be more of a distraction VS. just focusing on getting more high quality back links to the main website we have ranked on Page 1 at the bottom? Any ideas or benefits to use an exact domain match to help boost also?

                                                    How many links with page authority do I need to beat or get closer to competitor with page score 78 and domain authority score 72, if we already score 68 on page and 62 domain authority. This is in one of many beauty product markets. I ask because there is a company offering me for $80 each 10 links with higher than 70 page score (up to 80) and higher than 74 domain score (up to 86). All the other factors: number of links and social are almost the same for our website and the competitor's

                                                    Building backlinks on sub-pages instead of main page(rood-domain)

                                                    Hey Mozzers! I am facing a problem and I need advice. I have recently opened my new website, which purpose is to offer quality articles, optimized for SEO. The problem is that I cannot find the right keyword to use for the main(root) domain (http://xxxxxx.org) as it is consisting of many niches. Is it a good idea to build backlinks on pages (http://xxxxxx.org/the-keyword-for-ranking) instead of building them on my root-domain? So basically, my root-domain will have less backlinks than my pages inside? Please give me some advice and way to act with. Thank you
