Across the board drops in DA

[wearehappymedia]

Hi, has anyone noticed across the board drops in DA in specific industries lately? If you're tracking 5 companies in one industry it seems odd that all five would drop 2-3 DA points all at once don't you think? Just peculiar I think and would love some insight if there is some to be had / shared.

I've noticed this few weeks back. But it returned back to normal for few industries this week.

Hello,

This is most likely not something to be worried about if it corresponded with the latest Mozscape Index. The number of links and depth crawled with each update can vary - the details on this can be found on the Mozscape API Index page (link below). Since the crawl changes in depth/size, the DA, PA, etc. numbers will differ from crawl to crawl even for a "steady-state" site. If all five companies experienced a similar percentage or numerical drop, I am inclined to think that this drop is simply related to the crawl.

The current stats for the latest crawl can be found here: http://moz.com/products/api/updates

Rand wrote a post that explained the crawl well here.

Have a great weekend and good luck!
