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!

Links on my website do not get highlighted by Moz bar in Chrome
I've used the Moz bar for many years to quickly figure out if a link is followed or no-followed. I recently used a Wordpress plugin to build lists of subjects and excerpts of pages with appropriate links. An example is at https://www.chicagotraveler.com/chicago-parks/ This is the main Parks section page. Below the map is a set of links and descriptions of each park in this section of the site. The problem is that when I use the Moz bar to look at this page, the links are not highlighted no matter which settings I click on. Followed, No-followed, External or Internal. I've looked at the code and while there is a bit of css nearby the links, they look fairly normal. Does this mean that moz thinks there is something wrong. Do you think google will also ignore these links? Should I scrap the plugin and build and maintain these lists manually?

Hey there. I'm trying to export a .pdf to send to my client. When I click "export pdf", the page sits for a second then goes to a 404 page? I've never seen this before. Is anyone else getting this problem?

Moz Rankings vs DuckDuckGo
Hello, So we have a client that’s only interested in a handful of keywords. We would like track his rankings through a Moz Campaign but he currently uses Duck Duck Go to check them. Strictly from an accuracy perspective (and not necessarily added features like Mobile Rankings) is there any arguments we could use to convert them to Moz? If not we will let them know but any input would be appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from all of you! Thank you in advance for the help. Best,

Why is the exact same URL being seen as duplicate and showing an error in my SEO reports
Well, I am still having duplicate page issues. I have a question about one of the errors SEO is giving me when I download a crawl report. I am going to attach a screen shot of part of the report so you can see for yourself, along with explaining it here. SEO shows the list of URL's that it crawled in the report. In this(see attachment) portion of the report it has 321 results for the exact same URL. It also says all of these exact same URL's have received a 404 error. What I want to know is how does it make 321 results for the same URL? And with this error that I don't see when I look at the page? 0hkRDST
