Bad news for PBN owners?
Google doesn't give a hoot what your DA is.
Maybe Moz changed their algo, doesn't matter tho.
Edit: Heres your answer to the lower DA.
"You'll notice this index is a bit smaller than much of what we've released this year. That's intentional on our part, in order to get fresher, higher-quality stuff and cut out a lot of the junk you may have seen in older indices. DA and PA scores should be more accurate in this index (accurate meaning more representative of how a domain or page will perform in Google based on link equity factors)"

Yeah noticed it on one of my sites today. Dropped from 17 to 12. Other sites stayed the same though.

Some went up, some went down, but mostly around same values where domains were. My free image site that got a lot of natural mentions in the previous period went down from 30 to 21....ah, whatever

Instead of the sky is falling because PR has changed, we now see the sky is falling because DA has changed.
I was going to check some of my sites this morning after seeing some comments in various places about the DA changes, as well as some emails from people, but decided to pass on spending any time on that today.
Google trumps {Moz DA|outside metrics} and I know that what I build to the sites over which I have stewardship are quality links without any footprints.
Do that and the updates won't cause you to reach for the closest bottle of fine liquor (not that there is anything wrong with that) if you see a drop in your metric rankings.

What is the point of even paying attention to DA rank by Moz, it just seems like a big scam site.

Moz is not Google.No one knows internal metrics of Google but Google itself.
