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

Setting up MOZ to run on Staging
Hi Moz, We would like to setup Moz to run on our Staging Server. This would be extremely valuable as it alerts us to new SEO issues/risks in a controlled and secure environment that is not exposed to production. Our internal team has recommended potentially setting up a reverse proxy server that will validate either via Moz's/Rogerbot's http header or IP and allow Moz access to our Staging environment to crawl. Is this something that we can setup with Moz? Are there other ideas to enable Moz to crawl our Staging server?

Google and Open Site Explorer not showing as many links
I've noticed this past week that when you search for the links pointing to a given site, by using the "link:" operator, that Google not showing as many links as they use to. I noticed this also with Open Site Explorer, it is not showing the detail link information as much as it did before. Is Google trying to mask what we can view now on competitors backlinks? If so, how can we see the backlink building that our competitors are doing?
