To chime in on this, DA and PA are Moz metrics, and are not only impacted by gain and loss of backlinks, but also take into consideration that of competitors. That said, there's a good chance that if you did not lose backlinks and saw a decrease, that your competitors gained backlinks during this period.

Actually, only nr 4. in your list would have an impact on Domain Authority in how Moz calculates it as it's based on the authority from links. Any ranking factors from the site or on-page optimization don't play a role in how it's calculated.

Get more and higher quality links, this will all help boost your domain and page authority.

Same happened to one of my site also.

Good tool to track external links from the website
I am in search of a tool that provides me links generating from my site to another site. Is there a software or tool that can scan the whole site and provide me what are the links of other sites in my site.

Losing Rankings & Need Help
Hi Guys, I am not sure if anyone else is suffering from the July 4, 2013 update. I know many of us are awaiting to see what happens once the dust settles. I have a couple of issues/questions/statements below. This is the first time any Google update has every affected me negatively and I'd love some ideas or input. 1. I have ranked quite well for nearly 10 years for all my top keywords. Now, after this update, I am disappearing for my top keywords in the SERPS - definitely getting pushed to page two, etc. Can anyone help me discover the reasons? I have a great SEO expert helping me and I know quite a bit, but this has me baffled. My website is Journey Beyond Travel.com I have read MOZ's ranking factors for 2013 and also the recently published report from SearchMetrics. In the last few days, I've added more quality text to the homepage and shortened my page title on the homepage (although Google has been changing my homepage browser title to put my brand name first in the title - and they haven't for my competitors). Over the past few months, I've really cleaned up my link profile to the best of my ability. I've never really taken part in any negative or black-hat practices. I am trying to get more links that use my 'brand' name rather than exact anchor text. I believe I have a natural profile - any thoughts? 2. One thing I notice is the higher ranking of larger brands now (at least in my field). Just because a domain with higher authority creates one page of content, how can that outrank me? I mean, I've got ten years and 600+ darn good articles of content on my website. How can one domain that is very 'general' (for example, well known in the world of travel and not specialized or niche like mine) outrank me? How can it be that Google allows larger brands to outrank smaller ones just because they have more backlinks and domain authority, but no real content to support these pages? Is content truly king? I am thinking about an article: "Google, Brands, and the Death of Small Business Online." Anyone wish to collaborate here? I am not being hatelful or resentful, but I foresee the day when an 'alternative' search engine emerges, doesn't allow crap ads, allows users more flexibility, and brings search to the next level. Not all of us want the big brands and are searching for alternatives that stand out. I ignore them when I am searching mostly. Any thoughts or elaborations? Thanks!

Wiped from Google Top 50 and Need Diagnostic Help
Hey All, On the 4th of January our site (http://spotcolorstudio.com) Webmaster tools showed a massive drop in the number of impressions we're getting from Google. We went from over 500 to around 100 and we haven't recovered. That week's SEOMOZ keyword report showed we were wiped from the Top 50 for everything we were tracking except our branded terms. I've seen no indicators to why this might have happened. Our Domain Authority hasn't changed. I haven't received any malware notices in Webmaster tools. GetListed.org displayed our Google Places listing as not present despite being able to click through and see our listing displaying as "active." Is it possible there's something wrong with the DNS that I'm missing? What could cause a complete wiping like this that wouldn't trigger an alert in Webmaster tools? Any help, guidance or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Craig

My Moz domain authority fell last week but so did all 3 of my competitors. What could cause that?
As a loyal Moz Pro subscriber I track my site's authority, trust and links against 3 similar competitors. Last week my authority fell from 61 to 60 but all 3 competitors saw a drop in their authority that week too. Was the Moz domain authority calculation changed? Did anyone else see a drop or has something odd happened to just our market? Any ideas? Not sure if this is something I should address or just shrug and ignore. Cheers
