Why my domain authority is dropping

[brian.jerimy]

Hi, I think I've been doing every right here. I just got a lot of nice backlinks from relevant sites ( pr 5 and higher), I also have been doing guest blogging for weeks. But suddenly, my domain authority dropped from 35 to 33. Traffic from searches also dropped a little bit.

I didnt do anything blackhat yet so I dont know what is the reason why this happen. I update my site regularly, get more and more natural backlinks, do guest blogging.

Or perhaps it was because I give links to my friends' affiliate sites and got penalized?

Is it DA the most significant metric you're looking at? What about other metrics? Maybe this has something to do with your DA dropping a bit: Mozscape API Temporarily Rolled Back to March 19 Index ?
