MOZ competitor analysis tool
-
Hi Guys
Has anyone also noticed that the MOZ competitor analysis tool does not always pick up on all back-links? If I put two competitors into MOZ and Ahrefs I get so many more back-link info from Ahrefs.
Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
Thanks
Jon

Thanks Dirk.
I also use moz, ahref, semrush and sometimes majestic (free versions). However in the last week I signed up to MOZ. I'm now thinking that if my main goal to analysis back-links I should probably use another service like ahrefs, as I've tested and get a lot of back-link info from.
Thanks again
Jon

None of the tools on the market is able to find all links to your site - and different tools will find different links. If you want to have the best view on who's linking to your site you will have to combine several tools (ahref/moz/semrush/search console/...).
Ahref used to be the tool who was able to find the most links (not sure if it's still the case) - which is in line with what you're seeing. Moz does a lot of processing of the data it's finding to calculate the page/domain authority - so they need to limit the index they work on (even if it's huge).Dirk

My company has about 70 live pages. Moz crawled 6k. Why?
My company has about 70 live, published pages on our website, which is managed through HubSpot. When Moz crawled the URL, it found 6K+. I noticed several were URLs with a campaign tag. Is this normal? It seems excessive to me. If there's a problem, how do I fix it?

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 crawler showing pages blocked by robots.txt
I've blocked a large number of pages which Moz were showing as duplicate or giving 404's in our robots.txt using /?key and /?p etc. However Moz crawler is still showing as being an issue. I assumed Roger picked up the robots.txt file, or is that not the case?
