      Ug! Super upset. I went from a 41 to a 31, and I am not sure why. I did switch hosts 3 months ago, and I also JUST started using no follow links b/c someone told me that would help RAISE my DA. I would love any thoughts or advice. Thanks!

          Pretty sure that this might have changed your domain authority: https://moz.com/blog/comprehensive-analysis-domain-authority

            • I am concerned about the links pointing to my site. There have been an additional 273 dodgy links added in the last 2 months for unknown reasons skewing the linking domains by DA to mostly 1-10\. Could this be a negative SEO campaign?
