      Hello,

      I would like to know how the changes in domain authority is considered by MOZ?

      Domain Authority for my this domain https://factohr.com was 14 and it is decreased to 13 in this week. Though i have a very decent and good links going over to all my pages howcome my DA is affected and decreased.

      As its regularly being updated and has a high quality traffic! i would like to know the reason behind decrement in DA and is there any connection with redirection of .com domain? How can i increase DA for my website?

          Hi,

          What you should realize is that a drop of 1 point in Domain Authority isn't the end of the world. You probably were already at the low end in this case of the number that you had. What likely would have happened is that you received some additional links (or maybe lost a couple) that were of lower domain authority by itself. With that your average receiving DA is decreasing a bit. But as this number is just a way to tell you what's going on I wouldn't recommend panicking over it as the data that Google has is more robust and isn't just based on 1 number like DA. I've seen many cases were DA can drop with 5-10+ points and traffic/business metrics aren't affected at all.

          Martijn.

            In Jan mine was 48 and now at the end of May, it dropped to 42.  I work so hard to try to increase my DA.  How can I get it back to were it was...?  I don't understand why this is happening?
