Moz scores

[DaddySmurf]

Hi All,

Could anyone please explain for me why the moz scores that show under SERPs in Google search show one set of values, but when i click on the SERP listing and go to that page, the Moz scores at the bottom of the tab the page is open in are completely different. I.E -

SERP result

1. Wireless Alarms

Why the .net is ranking and the .com is was the first question that went through my mind too.

Looking at the link profiles for the two domains the first impression is that the .com domain should rank because it's got loads more links than the .net domain.

Virtually all of these links come from the .net variant of the domain.

If you look a bit closer you'll see that wireless.com has external links from wireless-alarms.net & resonsesecurityweek.com. (And wireless-alarms.net is redirected to .com so I'm sure google wouldn't count these.)

Wireless.net has links from: cheviotsecurity.co.uk & saboteurcrimeprevention.com.

So out of the two, the .net looks marginally stronger.

HI Doug,

I'm about 50 miles away from you. Thank you for your answer. This leads me to ask, if wireless-alarms.com has such better stats (thank you for picking that up) then why is their .net domain the one with the great position?

I am not in the SEO sector, just a businessman on a steep learning curve.

Many thanks

Si

When you click on the www.wireless-alarms.net you get re-directed to www.wireless-alarms.com. So in the serps you're seeing the Mozscape stats for the .net domain and when you get to the page you're seeing the stats for the .com domain.

The www.wireless-alarms.net home page is using a meta-refresh to do the redirect. Looking at the wayback machine this has been in place since before December 2010.
