      Hi All,

      I've noticed that my domain authority is changing every time I refresh SEO MOz. In some instances it increases and other time stays the same as a previous month. Is this just a mid-transitional stage? or is there a potential bug in the system? It's making it difficult to know what is really happening.

        I noticed that with my account yesterday as well.  I was shocked to log in to see my DA dropped by 30%.  I think it is just a bug in the system. Today the values have returned to normal.

        The correct DA is the the one from 11/28/12.  The next Linkscape Index Update is scheduled for 12/27.  Your DA value only changes about once a month when the index is updated.

        Here is a link to the update schedule: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/345964-linkscape-update-schedule

          I noticed that the SEOmoz bar was particularly slow yesterday to populate the PA/DA numbers.  In addition, the fields are not left empty until it can populate the final numbers; sometimes the numbers will update a couple of times until the final numbers are written.  So, when it's really slow, the intermediate numbers could be interpreted as the final answer. On the occasion the numbers look odd to me, I will refresh the page and that often resolves the issue.  This is rare, however.  Most of the time it works just fine.

          Best,
          Christopher

            Hey all,

            It looks like there may be a bit of an issue causing it to randomly send through the wrong information on the Link Analysis.

            Can you do me a favor and send your Campaign information into the help team at help[at]seomoz.org so we can track this? That will help us hunt down the issue and get it resolved as quickly as possible.

            Thanks!
            Joel.
