I am losing 1 point of DA at month? What could it be? I have noticed I have lost 50K (out of 300K) of internal links after a website update, could it be related to that?

And you have no incoming links to your domain, dropping at the moment?

Hi Alberto,

I don't believe that losing internal links will affect your DA, so losing those internal links shouldn't have made your DA drop. Although I'd make sure that you intended to lose those 50k links and that you still have a good internal linking structure.

DA is calculated by Moz using a bunch of different metrics, so a score going up or down could be caused by a number of things. There is more information on Domain Authority here, but here are the reasons why DA may go up or down:

• Your link profile growth hasn't yet been captured in our web index.
• The highest-authority sites experienced substantial link growth, skewing the scaling process.
• You earned links from places that don't contribute to Google ranking.
• We crawled (and included in our index) more or fewer of your linking domains than we had previously.
• Your Domain Authority is on the lower end of the scoring spectrum and is thus more impacted by scaling fluctuation.

Overall, it is the volume and quality of external links to your website which will affect your DA, rather than internal links.

Having said that, I wouldn't worry too much about DA dropping by a point, this can happen sometimes and I'd focus more on the long-term.

I hope that helps!

Paddy

Hello

You should use quality backlinks on your site. And you should update your site content, then your DA will be increased. You must try these two things on your site, then your site DA will be definitely increase.

Thanks!

Thanks.

Definitely part of the strategy more digital PR actions to increase the quality of the external links, rather than quantity.
