Domain Authority Dropped to 1 from 13
-
Hi,
Our domain authority was at 13 two months ago and it dropped to 1 one and half month ago, I waited for MozUpdate but still no luck.
my question is if my domain name doesn't have proper non www to www redirect, moz tool will show authority correctly?
How do I check if redirect is proper for Moz to account it ?
website is working fine though, no problem to redirect from non www to www.com website.
Regards,
Vishal

Also, what links are you building?! Link building the wrong way can definitely backfire.

It will take our tools some time to pick up on recent backlink growth. With any luck, our tools will find and index those new links to your site that you've been earning, and you'll start to see your Domain Authority increase over time.

Hi,
When DA was at 13 we had 0 backlinks. no social traffic or nothing just paid traffic.
now I started link building some tools shows 16 some 5 but pretty sure at least 2 links are there,
Just saying that 0 backlinks DA was 13, now 2 backlinks from DA90+ and it dropped to 1.

Hi Vishal, Tawny from Moz's Help Team here.
As long as you've got a redirect properly in place from the non-www version of your URL to the www version, or vice versa, that should be enough for our tools to follow and find links pointing back to your site. It sounds like Martijn, below, is correct - your site probably isn't well represented in our Mozscape Index. Luckily, just by searching for your site with Open Site Explorer, you're prompting our crawler to visit your site, so hopefully within the next one or two index update cycles you'll start to see your Domain Authority improve.
Martijn is also correct that working on improving your backlink profile is one of the most effective ways of boosting your Domain Authority - that's a great place to start!
I hope this helps! If you've still got some questions for us, feel free to give us a shout at [email protected].

Hi Vishal,
Usually 1 will mean that Moz didn't include your domain in their latest index. Which is also bad news as it means you didn't have enough links from other sites to really pop up in their search across the web. What I would focus on is building links so in a future update you will be included. In this case it won't mean much as DA 13 was not super high and might have caused you to drop out on the next update.
Martijn.

How do I find http backlinks to my domain?
Hi, We spotted a number of sites linking to us from http sites, not https sites. How can I use backlink tools to find just those from http sites? Right now I'm looking at exporting a spreadsheet with 3.3 million entries and filtering - and there's not one person here who wants to do that! Thanks in advance.

Page Authority = 1 of linking page?
I am trying to determine if any of our PR services or inbound links are hurting our SEO. To do this I am using the Open Site Explorer tool and checking some of the URL's that link to us. While doing this I found a page that has a Page authority of 1/100 most other links have a decent authority...does this score mean this page has been penalized by Google? If not what else could a 1/100 mean?

Permanent 301 - Domain Authority
Hi, we created a new website which we also gave a new url.
Link Explorer | | DIGIHOUSE
We made a permanent 301 for the complete domain. www.digihouse.at -> www.digihouse-werbeagentur.at Google checked that and we rank minimum as good as with the old domain.
But in MOZ Tools the Domain Authority is very bad now.
So i think the 301 influences Google but not the Moz Tools?
The Domain Authority will not be inherited in Moz Tools? thxChris0 -
Moz can't crawl domain due to IP Geo redirect loop
Hi, I'm trying to crawl our domain www.salvationarmy.org.au via my Moz account and it only ever returns results for one page when it should be crawling more than 3,000 pages. In talking to support, they have said that because of the redirect we have in place it is creating a 302 loop and therefore not delivering results. Usually in this case I would obtain Moz's IP addresses and add them to the redirect settings as an exception, but Moz have said they use cloud-based services for crawling so the IPs change all the time. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue? At this point I've paid for a year's subscription to a product I can't use. Thanks, Mel

Page Authority dropped to 1 for subdirectory in my site
Hey, one of my sites https://www.automationanywhere.com/testing has had all it's pages drop to a page authority of 1 in Moz and the campaign doesnt appear to be indexing any pages from this directory. We launched a new site in this directory on the 12th and havent been getting any moz love since. The pages are indexable and followable, and are being indexed by google and others. The site on the root domain has been unaffected. Please help me get my moz campaign back on track. Thanks!

Drastic drop in LRD from OSE report has me confused... Any idea why?
We just got our report from OSE and a week ago we had over 80 LRD's with DA34/PA44 and now we see only 27 LRD's DA32/PA34? Why such a significant drop in our LRD's which I'm sure has affected everything else in the software. We checked Google Webmasters and don't see a drop in our linking URLs. We see it fluctuate all the time, but nothing like this. I'm not so much concerned with DA/PA at the moment as I know that dropped from lack of data the system can read, but why did over 60% of our LRDs disappear overnight? Anyone else seeing this happen to them? Our URL is whiteboardcreations.com

Open Site Explorer not detecting linking domain on my site
So I was using Open Site Explorer to analyze my domain authority and page authority as can be seen here. My site has been covered by some press and in the article it actually links my site. Some of the articles can be seen on, here, here, and here. Any idea why none of these articles are detected as a linking domain to my site? Is there something that I am doing wrong?
