Moz vs google data conflict?
-
Hi there,
I am doing an SEO site audit for a client(giveaway, and here is the problem:
when performing site:domain.com on google --> 13,800 pages were found
When I see this number it seems to be a bit too much compare to the links i checked on integrity(link check for broken links) which gave me a result of 1291. I digged in more into the Google results and saw hundreds(maybe thousands) of pages that are blocked by robots.txt. So I am thinking, ok this is it, thousands of pages can't be crawled by the search engines. Here is the big BUT though, then I check at my moz crawl (see attachment) and no pages are blocked by the SEs, and then look at the dups, only 23 recorded??
Is Moz not crawling properly the 13,800 results that google finds or is this some magical phenomenon happening here? I am really confused here that is why I need some help here!
Thank you guys!

Hi Jarno,
Unfortunately I can't really reveal the domain name because of our privacy policy...:(
The extra thing I can provide though is that I was able to see only 440 results from google(44). I wasn't able to see the remaining so I have a feeling that Google went a little overboard here. Since the clients offer giveaways you might be right that google detects all the links pointing to this domain that are shared by visitors or prospects.
What do you think?

Dear Taysir,
can you let me in on the domainname, then i can check the number of pages the website truly holds (google can also index pages linking to your content with the statement site:domain.com so i wouldn't be to hung up on that number).
regards
Jarno

MoZ vs SEMRush - Keyword Difficulty and Keyword With Low Competition.
Hi, My question is very focussed regarding these 2 tools. Is it correct to understand that MoZ tells keyword difficulty and not which keyword is easy to compete. And SEMRush tells which keyword is easy to compete but does not tell which keywords are difficult to compete? I mean one (Moz) misses the one part and the other (SEMRush) misses the other part. Hope some will enlighten me to the point. Best

Accurate Google Keyword Ranking for a domain
Hi Folks, SEO N00b here, in a new job so please go easy on me if i ask stupid questions. I'm looking for some clarification on Google Keyword rankings. I am looking for accurate Google Keywords rankings as when I log into Google Webmaster Tools I am given values like (6-10) for a ranking? When I used SEOMoz (Research Tools -> Keyword & Ranking -> Rank Tracker) it gives me an even less accurate range by simply saying >#50?Why is SEOMoz giving a completely useless metric? Why is its actual rank not shown? I know rankings are becoming less useful as a metric with Google moving toward personalized search but I still have reports to deliver to clients so the conversation of what metrics are going in the report is to be had another day. Right now I just want to get accurate rankings, from what I've found online Google Webmaster tools is recommended as the de-facto ranking tool but it doesn't provide accurate results so how can that be (yes I know it averages out the ranking but 6-10 is a range of values not a single value that represents an average) Dave

Does Google have a direct link with facebook and twitter?
Google monitor social media. What I'm wondering is do Google use the same tools we have on Facebook's API, Twitter's API etc to use in their SERPs Or do Facebook grant Google more detailed access to see who has liked links etc. I think it's quite an interesting point as surely I can push up my own count by repeatedly sharing my own links, which wouldn't be genuine. If Google had better access they could then determine what's been faked etc.

Is Opensiteexplorer.org missing a lot of backlink data?
I was checking a few of my clients backlinks that recently got hit by the "penguin" update to possibly try and remove some of the potentially spammy links. I ran reports in both opensiteexplorer.org and majesticseo and majesticseo brings back a ton more links, and these are sites that don't even have the max 10,000 backlinks that OSE should be bringing back. Does OSE bring back reliable backlink data? I'm starting to wonder.
