Our page authority has dropped to 1

[CostumeD]

We updated some pages to try to improve our site.

We kept the same URLs and changed the page title and meta description to target specific key words.

Our page authority has dropped to 1.

This is one of the pages

http://www.fashionably-yours.com.au/wedding-dresses/

What have we done wrong?

He's talking about Page Autority not PageRank I guess.

Waybackmachine says it is really the same url... hmmm. I don't know the answer, I don't know how PA is calculated
but I wanted to say:  the menu is to long for me, the last item (new arrivals) is in a new row and not readable (white text on pretty white back) - in Google Chrome & Firefox - thats nothing what could help at your problem, but I think you should take a look at it.

Sorry my bad. I really shouldn't reply to questions at 2am. The below page is really good to show you how PA and DA is worked out.

You know - it's hard enough to diagnose SEO issues when we have all the information. It's ten times harder when we don't.

**"We kept the same URLs" is not accurate, is it? **

No, no it's not.

http://www.fashionably-yours.com.au/wedding_dresses/

This has a PA of 15 and /wedding-dresses/ has a PA of 0. Your 301 hasn't kicked in to Moz yet. It's a new URL ...

[paints-n-design]

Wayback machine told me the wedding-dresses existed before, but the menu made me think it could be, that wedding_dresses was the url before. You are right Matt.

Ha, site: got me there eventually.
