External Links not showing in MOZ?
-
Hello:)
I have a ton of external links on my site, but there not showing on MOZ? The reason i'm slightly concerned is because my top competitor has 80 and I show as only having 3? Does any one know why this would be?
Also, my traffic on MOZ is a lot lower then my traffic report on Google Analytics? Is that normal, & which should I trust more?
Here's my Site: Www.ThumannAgency.com
Thank you in advance:)

No Problem,
Just a heads up in case you don't see where to look at your backlinks in webmaster tools:
Click on " Search Traffic " > " Links to Your Site " and enjoy!
Hope to see you on page 1 soon! Good Luck!

Thank you so much for doing that for me. I did try and look at my links on Google analytics, but couldn't find them. Probably because I should of been looking in wwbmaster tools. Wow So much to learn. Thanks again.

Hello,
ran your site through ahref.com and saw 30 backlinks, 17 of which were follow backlinks.
Moz doesn't have the kinda index that ahref and others have, they index bigger sites it seems but not the small fries where most of us are from. This is what leads to the backlink confusion when people check their backlinks on MOZ. While I love moz.com it has always saddened me that their index, doesn't capture the entirety of sites like ones I work on.
You're best place to check backlinks is your google webmaster tools and compare that data with sites like ahref and majestic, even moz just for that off chance they grabbed a link others didn't.
So to sum things up, since Moz.com has a smaller index compared to other sites, your overall metrix are not going to truly reflect your website. Google is still the only spot that gives you really complete datasets to work with, since they're really indexing your site and is what you should focus on the most, use moz, ahref and the like as side by side comparisons to determine what aspects need worked on.
Hope this helps!

Duplicate Content & Title Tag Group Fields on MoZ Report
Hello, On my SEO MOZ exported Site Crawl CSV report, I have columns for Duplicate Content Group & for Duplicate Title Tag Group. The values in the columns are numerical - 20, 5 , 15, etc. Can anyone explain to me what these values represent and how I can fix the issues I presume they represent? Thank you,

Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors? Anything to worry about?
Under site crawl, Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors. The URLs are: http://support@ihasco.co.uk and http://enquiries@ihasco.co.uk Once clicked, they redirect to our homepage. Anyone else ever had this? Is it anything to worry about? I don't think it is, but would be good to get some reassurance.

Site Crawl - MOz Pro
Hi There, When i look into my site crawl i have thousands of duplicate content issues. Now they are essentially product pages which are in multiple categories - however we have added the canonical tag so im confused as to why all of these are appearing as if there is an error, does the MOZ bot not take canonicals into account? Kind Regards Gemma

Given that I am currently using a bot sniffer...How can I identify the MOZ bot in order to whitelist it?
MOZ is currently blocked from crawling my sites because I use a bot sniffer. Does anyone know how I can properly identify the MOZ bot in order to whitelist it? MOZ is using Amazon web services and thus employs thousands of dynamic IPs to crawl.
