External Links not showing in MOZ?
-
Hello:)
I have a ton of external links on my site, but there not showing on MOZ? The reason i'm slightly concerned is because my top competitor has 80 and I show as only having 3? Does any one know why this would be?
Also, my traffic on MOZ is a lot lower then my traffic report on Google Analytics? Is that normal, & which should I trust more?
Here's my Site: Www.ThumannAgency.com
Thank you in advance:)

No Problem,
Just a heads up in case you don't see where to look at your backlinks in webmaster tools:
Click on " Search Traffic " > " Links to Your Site " and enjoy!
Hope to see you on page 1 soon! Good Luck!

Thank you so much for doing that for me. I did try and look at my links on Google analytics, but couldn't find them. Probably because I should of been looking in wwbmaster tools. Wow So much to learn. Thanks again.

Hello,
ran your site through ahref.com and saw 30 backlinks, 17 of which were follow backlinks.
Moz doesn't have the kinda index that ahref and others have, they index bigger sites it seems but not the small fries where most of us are from. This is what leads to the backlink confusion when people check their backlinks on MOZ. While I love moz.com it has always saddened me that their index, doesn't capture the entirety of sites like ones I work on.
You're best place to check backlinks is your google webmaster tools and compare that data with sites like ahref and majestic, even moz just for that off chance they grabbed a link others didn't.
So to sum things up, since Moz.com has a smaller index compared to other sites, your overall metrix are not going to truly reflect your website. Google is still the only spot that gives you really complete datasets to work with, since they're really indexing your site and is what you should focus on the most, use moz, ahref and the like as side by side comparisons to determine what aspects need worked on.
Hope this helps!

Accuracy of Moz Keyword Tool
I understand that no search tool is entirely accurate, but I'm seriously beginning to doubt the accuracy of the Moz keyword tool search volumes for keywords. For example: I entered "largest police departments" and it says 0-10 per month in the US, despite the fact that that term is directly responsible for 200 hits per day. Many alterations of that keyword come up with 0-10 or not determined. This is not a small error -- and it repeats over and over for other search terms that I have already ranked for in the US. It's gigantically inaccurate in a massive scale.

How can a page have high Google/ organic traffic but show no ranking keywords in Moz?
We have a page on our website with a higher than average number of pageviews, 85% of which came from Google organic search. When I research this page by entering the URL into the "exact page" keyword research tool, Moz says it has no ranking keywords. How can a page be earning organic traffic without ranking for any keywords?

Does Organic CTR from Keyword Explorer show percentage of 1st position clicks? If not, how to calculate?
I have two questions about the Organic CTR number from the Moz Keyword Explorer tool. I have read through the description here, but it is not very clear on what I need to know: https://moz.com/community/q/what-is-a-good-keyword-opportunity-score Does it calculate the percent of searchers that are likely to click on ANY of links from page one of the traditional organic search results? Or does it calculate the percent of searchers that are likely to click on the NUMBER 1 position of the traditional organic search results? I suspect the answer will be that it calculates the percentage of clicks for any of the traditional organic search results from page one. Which leads me to question two... I'm trying to calculate the estimated search traffic from each keyword if there was a number 1 ranking. And if the Organic CTR shows the percentage of clicks going to any of the traditional organic search results I need to add a modifier to my formula which will calculate how many clicks the number 1 ranking receives. So I think the formula would will look something like this: Monthly website traffic from keyword = monthly search traffic * Organic CTR * Number 1 Position CTR. In this case, what would I use for the "Number 1 Position CTR" modifier?

Moz Keyword Explorer how long does it take to gather metrics
Looking at some low volume keywords, I get lots of "Gathering Metrics". These don't seem to be updating with metrics. How long does this typically take, should I set and come back in a couple of hours, overnight? Should I leave the screen open, or will this stop it working? Justin

Moz Pro Question: Does the amount of keywords you are allowed to search reset each month?
I am a Moz Pro subscriber and I really love the new Keyword Explorer tool. One question I have that I couldn't find a clear answer was regarding the number of monthly keyword queries. Do they reset each month? I hope they do.

Internal Links Count in Crawl Report
My understanding of the 'Internal Links' results in a moz crawl report is that it represents the number of links on the given page that link to other pages on the same site.Assuming this is a correct assumption: We recently ran a crawl report on www.phase1tech.com. Some of the pages are coming back with a large amount of 'internal links'. These 2 pages for example are showing 800 internal links: http://www.phase1tech.com/Upcoming-Events
Moz Bar | | AISEO
http://www.phase1tech.com/Contact Then there are a number of pages coming back with 705 Internal Links, including: http://www.phase1tech.com/Dalsa-CameraLink-Cameras
http://www.phase1tech.com/Hitachi-CameraLink-Cameras At best there are approximately 70-80 links on these pages. Where are these large counts coming from? Is there a means to see what the links being reported on are? At the same time the 'Too Many On-Page Links' indicates 'No' for some pages with a high number of links, and 'Yes' for pages with a low number of links. For example: http://www.phase1tech.com/Baumer-SX-Series
Too Many On-Page Links: Yes
Internal Links: 2
What's up with that?0
