      Hi All,

      I came back from work today from a week off to find my site has gone from 681 external inbound links to 202. With this my domain authority, moz trust and moz rank have all also taken a slip. Compounding this, I am seeing a slip most of my keywords rankings. If i try to use the open site explorer to explore my links and see what going on i get the message

      It looks like we haven't discovered link data for this site or URL.

      If i check the just discovered links like it suggests I get

      It looks like there's no Just-Discovered Links data for this URL yet.

      I know these features worked before the index as i used them. Is this all attributable to the moz index issues that have been noted or could something have happened to my site?

      Since i started 2 months ago I have made many changes including...

      • Updating the site map that was 4 years out of date and included 400 broken urls
      • Removed blank pages and other useless webpages on the site that contained no content (from the previous administrator)
      • Edited a few pages content from keyword spammy stuff to nicely written and relevant content
      • Fixed url rewrites that made loops and un-accessible product pages

      All these changes should be for the better but the latest readings have me a little worried.

      Thanks.

        I too am seeing lost links. Also none of my new links are appearing since the last index, although I see them on Google WMT and Majestic.
