Majestic gives me a 24 situation and 24 trust flow. Seomoz just a total number of 7\. How come the difference? My ranking is still bad, so is Majestic crawling faster then google?
-
Hi, my total domain value number on SEOmoz is 7. In Majestic it is 24 situation and 24 trust flow. My ranking is still bad (page2) and my competitors have a lower trust/ situation flow in Majestic. But in Seomoz the're better.
Is the conclusion that Majestic is more up to date then Google itself and that Seomoz is more inline with the google crawling? Because Majestic doesnt reflect my ranking.
(ps I started with the domain for a month, and I only have some history in registration)

It looks like Google hasn't re-cached that page since you were added:
So, the links may just not have taken effect yet.
-
haha too bat. A link from home at Seomoz would help
The link is on there partner website: http://www.topmba.com/qs-world-mba-tour/partners but we have over 30 links frome serveral good domains.
-
Argh... sorry, I meant "happy to look" (not "link") - my typos are the worst I was curious what page on TopMBA.com had the link, so that I could help assess any quality issues.

Hi Peter thanks again. Its a website in the Netherlands:
www.goedkoopsteautoverzekering.net which means cheapest car insurance in the Neterlands. The main keyword is "goedkoopste autoverzekering". A link would be great!
-
Ah, sorry - yeah a DA=7 and an mR=7 are very different
We're getting new indexes about every couple of weeks now, I think, but it depends not only on the domain, but on how deep the page is in the domain and what the quality is of that page. Some pages, even on good domains, don't carry much weight.
Also keep in mind that, even once Google has cached it, the impact of a handful of links is rarely immediate or even noticeable. It's much more complex than that, so ultimately you've got to keep doing what you're doing. It doesn't really matter what our stats say or Majestic's stats if you're not ranking. In other words, don't build a few links and then sit around waiting for the metrics to update. Keep rolling forward.
If you want to post a sample link, I'd be happy to look, but I realize this question is public, so I'm not sure if that's viable for you.

Thanks for the reply.
its not the Mozrank but the Domain autority which is 7. The PA is 1. But I have several high quality links. For example from topmba.com. What is the delay of Seomoz/ opensite explorer to get these links crawled? Shall I just use Google cache memory date/time to know when Google last indexed my site?
-
Our general opinion (obviously, we're biased) is that the SEOmoz stats are better at tracking high-quality links, but the Majestic stats are fresher and track recent links better - if I had to over-simplify it. When you say your "domain value number" is 7, do you mean MozRank? What are your DA/PA stats like?
Keep in mind that, regardless of which numbers you use, these are only two pieces of the ranking puzzle, which has hundreds of factors. Our MozRank and MozTrust are analogous to Google PageRank and TrustRank, but there are many other factors in link quality and there are many ranking factors that have nothing to do with links.
If your site is only a month old, it's even harder to get a clear picture, as Google may still be assessing you. Your ranking could move a lot in the next few weeks.
One of our community members recently wrote a post that's a pretty good introduction to other ranking factors:

Competitor Ranks Top Keywords Without Backlinks
One of my competitors is ranking very well for many different competitive keywords (1k+ searches per month). I'm trying to figure out how in the world he is ranking so well. I've signed up for MozPro and looked at his back-links. He has 1 branded site-wide back-link from a decent blog. He also has 1 contextual back-link from a decent blog. Other than these 2 back-links, the rest are garbage links unlikely to even count for anything (he has maybe 12 of these low quality back-links). My website on the other hand has more than 15 back-links from different (high quality) websites and does not rank anywhere near this competitor. This leads me to believe that either MozPro back-link reporting is inadequate or there is foul-play on the part of my competitor. As far as on-page SEO is considered, his website is far inferior. Therefore, I highly doubt this would play a role. What are some reasonable approaches I can take to better understand the cause of this discrepancy. Clearly the back-link reporting has not revealed any answers.

Difficult to pinpoint competitive differences
Hi moz, Im currently working with a client that has a number of affiliates that work under similar URLs but operate independently. For example I work with client.com and we are concerned about SEO and ranking competition from affilate1.client.com, affiliate2.client.com etc. As it stands right now, the domain client.com has a higher DA, the homepage has a higher PA, and the equity passing links, both internal and external are much higher as well as number of linking domains, yet for whatever reason for many of the keywords we attempt to optimize for, the smaller affiliates often rank higher. The only things ive been able to pinpoint is that affiliate1.client.com has a spam score of 2 (rather than 4, for client.com) and the homepage has more total links. External anchor text is pretty branded across the web so i can't imagine it playing into keyword associations. Lastly the sites are constructed and appear very similar so basic on page keyword best practices have been taken care of. We worry that because affiliate.client.com has been at the SEO game longer, in addition to Google only linking two sites from a domain per search, we will never be able to rank for the keywords we want to rank for. How else can I go about a competitive analysis if I've taken into account everything said above? Any help will be very appreciated.

Why Won't Google Update My Title?
I have waited plenty of time. Google has cached several pages with the updated title placed in the <title>tags.<br /><br />However search results, continue to show otherwise.<br /><br />I read the following (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/35624?hl=en)</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>If we’ve detected that a particular result has one of the above issues with its title, we may try to generate an improved title from anchors, on-page text, or other sources. However, sometimes even pages with well-formulated, concise, descriptive titles will end up with different titles in our search results to better indicate their relevance to the query. There’s a simple reason for this: the title tag as specified by a webmaster is limited to being static, fixed regardless of the query. Once we know the user’s query, we can often find alternative text from a page that better explains why that result is relevant. Using this alternative text as a title helps the user, and it also can help your site. Users are scanning for their query terms or other signs of relevance in the results, and a title that is tailored for the query can increase the chances that they will click through.</em></p> <p>The reason I want to change my title, is because there seems to be a relevancy issue (as pointed out my other community members here.) Google is having trouble recognizing understanding what our site is about.<br /><br />So instead of a title that reads, "Felix And Fingers: Dueling Pianos" (as Google continues to use) I prefer "Dueling Pianos - Felix And Fingers"<em> </em> I don't believe Google is recognizing us correctly as a dueling piano company.<em><br /></em>Google doesn't seem to like that. Any idea why or how I might go about getting this updated?</p></title>

Wondering why my site ranks well for one page and not another.
Customers mainly find our site from searching very specific part numbers on google. My site is launch3telecom.com. Take for example these two parts:
Competitive Research | | launch3
MT500A-81015 MR050-81045 Search only those parts in google - we rank 3rd for one of them and don't rank at all for another. Is there any way to check backlinks pointing to those pages? We even show up before big sites like ebay and such on one of them. Can anyone help me understand this?0 -
How to find a neutral rank for a webpage a keyword term?
Hi!
Competitive Research | | lilactree
I'm sure this has been answered here already - I'm just not searching for the right words. I'm trying to find the ranking for a website for specific terms. Being that the search engine remembers what I search (I try to log out, privately browse, etc), everything matters and impacts my search. I'm trying to see what a website ranks for a person who has never visited that website before, or doesn't have other factors influencing the result. I tried the keyword research tool, and while that seems to deliver what I'm after, it only gives 1-10. Even though these are the coveted positions 😉 I'd like to know if a website isn't ranking there, and is further down. We track the progress made after work is done to a page, to see if it moves up, and what other tweaks we need to make to improve the rankings and attract clicks. Thanks!0 -

How to Safely Scrape Google Results?
I've built a couple of small tools that I use personally, maybe 2 or 3 times per day. Both tools scrape the top 10 results from Google and provide more details about each domain (like the SEOMoz Keyword Difficulty Tool). Google seem to have banned my IP address for automated searches... can anyone tell me a safe way of scraping the google results? Is there a suitable API for this? How do SEO Moz do this on such a huge scale?
