The difference between the statistics MOZ & Ahrefs
-
Hello dear.
I have a website for a year. I made 10K links in one year(from 45 Root Domains).the Ahrefs.com has show full list of link root domains and pages. the ahrefs rank is 49. but MOZ said my Established Links are 5!
So I have some questions, please help me:
1- what is difference between MOZ rank and ahrefs rank?
2-When Just-Discovered Link Calculate for my site?
3-why my moz trust is 0.00!?How to improve it?
-
Ahrefs indexes a lot more of the web and more frequently than MOZ.

Moz, Ahrefs, and any other site all use their own crawlers, and don't use Google's index. None of us also have the number of computers that Google does to crawl. We all have our own ways of crawling and looking for links, and at Moz, we try to focus on the highest quality links.
The part where you state that you have made 10,000 links on 45 domains is of a bit of concern. That's a lot of links from just a few sites, and the fact that you made them could mean they're not of the same quality as they would be if you had gotten them as an editorial reference from another site.
Can you tell us more about what these links are like? My first guess is that they don't have much quality, and thus aren't helping you much in the search engines.

Hi,
I had not ever used Ahrefs.com until I saw you post and went and tried it, and I saw that my sites had links that I did not even know existed. Ahrefs.com's database may not be updated that often and, therefore, shows you links that are no longer on the web or they are showing links that OSE has not yet picked sprawled.
Here is my best shot at answering your questions;
-
Moz rank has their ranking system based on their own factors/metrics. Ahrefs.com will have their own also.
-
Just-Discoverd links have a date and time on the far right of the page in the "Date Discovered (UTC)" column. I have checked out your site, and you have no just discovered links yet. I tweet and share the page that is linking to my site in all of my social accounts so the new link would show up in the "Just Discovered" section. Though this no longer works, but I feel it is good practice as having a page link to your site with more social shares and secondary links pointing to it is a better link.
-
Your MOZ rank is at a 0.00 because you do not have any "popular links" linking to your site. The way to improve it and I just did a quick search and copy and pasted this for you.
"A web page's MozRank can be improved by getting lots of links from semi-popular pages or a few links from very popular pages."
Best of luck,
cibble.

How is Moz DA affected by spam links? Disavow file?
So it does not appear that moz let's you upload your disavow file. So when moz calculates your DA how do spammy links factor in? After digging through our GA it appears our site was hit with the 2016 penguin update and never recovered. Our weekly visitors were 2k, then dropped to 500 and have stayed close to that level for a while. We've used the disavow tool, without success over the past 3 years. During that time we have done link out reach and built around 10 legit good quality DA links since. But we have not recovered. At this point i'm thinking I should just remove the disavow file. Moz says our spam score for our domain is 5%.

If I have a MOZ PRO account, do I still need Screaming Frog?
Hi, I have a MOZ PRO account which is brilliant for me. I am about to move my site from HTTP to HTTPS and was looking for a smooth way to list every page and its details so I can make sure I do the correct redirects etc.. before the switch to SSL. Do I need to get Screaming Frog, or can the tools with MOZ Pro ease my path just as well? Thanks

Is Moz's backlink checker.... just... not good?
Hey everyone! Can somebody explain to me why this keeps happening: Whenever I'm trying to backlink my competitors, I typically use RavenTools. Every time, without fail, if I put that same URL into Moz's Open Site Explorer - It gives me about 1/20th of what RavenTools shows me. Sometimes it literally comes up with 2 or 3 links total. Unfortunately, RavenTools has a cap on how many backlink checks you can perform in a month - so once I've used those up, I have to start using OSE... But, it just doesn't work. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks!

Fastest way to get new backlinks recognised by Moz?
Hi all, I have seen a few discussions / advice pieces around this, but wondered what the current view is on the fastest way to get new backlinks recognised by Moz? I have seen people say that the content needs to be shared (e.g. on Twitter), and advice around creating Bitly links. I am not convinced that these techniques are working. On a related note, my website is very large. I have around 2.5m pages. Most of these pages are 3-4 clicks from the home page, but I have a small amount of important content much higher up in the site (1-2 clicks from the home page). Does Moz crawl pages nearer the home page more frequently, or does it make a pass of all pages on the site before it starts at the beginning again? If it makes a complete pass of all pages, then presumably making my site smaller will help to get Moz to see new content more quickly? Is there any other value to be gained in making a large site smaller? Many thanks in advance, Neil.

Moz Pro: Linking RDs to Page much lower than Google Search Console
I'm trying to use the Analyze Keyword tool in Moz Pro, and in the SERP Analysis table, my page has a PA of one, and zero root domains linking to it. If I look at the page in Google Search console, it says I have 229 root domains linking to the page from well known domains like github.com, meetup.com, stackoverflow.com, etc. This particular keyword has been tracked in Moz for the last 6 months, but I just noticed that it was extremely low. I am relatively new to Moz, so forgive me if I sound confused, but can someone explain to me how the numbers can be so low?

Does Moz have anything similar to ahrefs batch analysis tool?
I am wanting to do analysis of a whole bunch of URLs at once - i know ahrefs already has a very good tool for this - but I don't really want to have to pay the $79 a month if moz has something similar? I know it has the OSE. Can I do batch analysis in this? Thanks

Moz crawling bot
Hi guys, in OpenSiteExplorer -> Top Pages, there are no page titles displayed in a raport for certain domain, and "HTTP Status" column shows: "Blocked by robots.txt". I tried to find out what the ID of Moz crawling bot is, and on this page: http://moz.com/community/q/seomoz-spider-bot-details someone says it's: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; rogerBot/1.0; http://www.seomoz.org/dp/rogerbot). However, my robots.txt doesn't have such entry. Take a look: Automatically banned scanners and crawlers section User-agent: 008 Disallow: / user-agent: AhrefsBot Disallow: / User-agent: MJ12bot Disallow: / User-agent: metajobbot Disallow: / User-agent: Exabot Disallow: / User-agent: Ezooms Disallow: / User-agent: fyberspider Disallow: / User-agent: dotbot Disallow: / User-agent: MojeekBot Disallow: / Section end What could be the problem here, then? Why does the Moz bot think I'm blocking it?
