Massive drop in linking domains - please advise!

[Matt.Carwow]

Hi guys!

Our site www.carwow.co.uk appears to have been punched in the face by the latest Moz update. It's claiming our #linking root domains has dropped from 225 to 135 and has subsequently hit our DA from 38 to 35.

We haven't disavowed any links and our off-site strategy has been going well the past 2 months. Search performance has increased by around 15% (around 5k sessions) and rankings have improved week on week.

Any idea if this is a Moz error? That's almost a 50% drop in linking root domains.

Thanks,

James

Disavowing links wouldn't have any effect on how Moz sees them. Some index updates get more data than others and that's going to impact the number of links and your DA. But that's just an estimate of your potential to rank. Keep an eye on WMT and GA non-branded search - much more important measures of organic success.
