        1. Different Methodologies: Moz and SEMrush use different algorithms to calculate DR.

        2. Data Sources: Moz and SEMrush may pull data from different sources for backlink analysis.

        3. Frequency of Updates: Variations in how often Moz and SEMrush update their databases can lead to differences in DR scores.

        4. Scope of Analysis: The scope of websites analyzed by Moz and SEMrush may vary, impacting DR scores.

        5. Algorithm Changes: Updates to algorithms used by Moz or SEMrush can result in changes to DR scores.

              Discrepancies in backlink profiles between different SEO tools like Moz and SEMRush are not uncommon. Each tool may use different algorithms and sources to crawl and index backlinks, leading to variations in the reported data. Here are some steps you can take to understand and address the differences in your domain's backlink profile:

                @LucyEmma Because both Moz and SEMrush have their own criteria

                    @mcafeeonline Hi!
                    Yes, I also face that problem when Moz shows different da on my website. And when I check from Semrush, it offers a difference.

                      Moz-Specific 404 Errors Jumped with URLs that don't exist

                      Hello, I'm going to try and be as specific as possible concerning this weird issue, but I'd rather not say specific info about the site unless you think it's pertinent. So to summarize, we have a website that's owned by a company that is a division of another company. For reference, we'll say that: OURSITE.com is owned by COMPANY1 which is owned by AGENCY1 This morning, we got about 7,000 new errors in MOZ only (these errors are not in Search Console) for URLs with the company name or the agency name at the end of the url. So, let's say one post is: OURSITE.com/the-article/ This morning we have an error in MOZ for URLs OURSITE.com/the-article/COMPANY1 OURSITE.com/the-article/AGENCY1 x 7000+ articles we have created. Every single post ever created is now an error in MOZ because of these two URL additions that seem to come out of nowhere. These URLs are not in our Sitemaps, they are not in Google... They simply don't exist and yet MOZ created an an error with them. Unless they exist and I don't see them. Obviously there's a link to each company and agency site on the site in the about us section, but that's it.

                      MOZ Versus HUBSPOT??? If We Discontinue MOZ Subscription and Get HUBSPOT, Anything Lost?

                      How does Hubspot compare with MOZ? Doe it provide similar features or is the functionality very different? Is Hubspot complementary to MOZ or could it be used as a substitute? If we stopped our MOZ subscription and subscribed to Hubspot would we lose anything? Thanks, Alan

                      GWMT / Search Analytics VS OpenSiteExplorer

                      Just had the experience of using OSE data to show what we call "linkrot" to a client -- only to find that GWMT / Search Analytics shows no such thing. Fortunately the client is an old friend and no face was lost, but it was dicey there for a bit as I have come to rely on and reference OSE again and again and again, OSE showed Domain Authority dropping by about 1/3 in the last 12 months, presumably due to old links getting broken, linking sites changing their architecture etc. And of course, ranking is tanking, as you would expect. But Google shows many more (and much more spammy looking!) backlinks. Has anyone had any experience benchmarking the 2 data sets of backlinks against each other?  Dr Pete?
                      Does one update more frequently than another? Do you trust one more than another?? If so, why?? Thanks!

                      How long for authority to transfer form an old page to a new page via a 301 redirect? (& Moz PA score update?)

                      Hi How long aproximately does G take to pass authority via a 301 from an old page to its new replacement page ? Does Moz Page Authority reflect this in its score once G has passed it ? All Best

                      TLD vs Sub Domain in Regards to Domain Authority

                      I have always been under the impression that top level (or root) domains can hold different domain authority than that of a sub domain. Meaning that sub domain's and TLD can hold different ranks and strength in search engine result pages. Is this a correct or just an assumption? If so when i add a root domain and subdomain into the campaign manager i get back the same link information and domain authority? www.datalogic.com
                      www.automation.datalogic.com Have I made an incorrect assumption or is this an issue with the SEOMoz campaign manager?
