Moz is not indexing all my backlinks
-
Why is there a difference in the backlinks of my website when checked in moz.com and SEMrush.com.
-
Same reason there's a difference between the number of backlinks between SEMrush and Majestic, Majestic and Ahrefs, Ahrefs and MOZ or all of the third-party backlink tools and Search Console.
These tools scan the web at different paces and start from different places. That's why some of them find backlinks that others don't.

Hi Malik,
That difference is because Moz and SEMrush uses their own index.
Also keep in mind that they update their index in differente paces. Moz does it nearly once a month. Also.
I can only tell you how Moz bot works: It starts with a base set list of domains, where following all links inside that sites. If One of the sites having links to your website is not linked previously and Moz bot does not get to that site, you will never see it in OpenSite Explorer.It may be tricky to understand. Is it clear?
Hope it helps.
Best luck.

Subdomain and nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority?
Greetings, I have a couple of questions about domain authority. 1 - The backlinks that come from different subdomains count several times or only once coming from the same domain? 2 - The nofollow backlinks are used to calculate the domain authority? Thank you.

My title has a TM symbol and Moz says I don't have the keyword in my title
Moz gave me a poor rating because I don't have the keyword in my title but I do, it just has a trademark symbol. Pelican 1500 Case is the keyword I'd like to rank for on this page: http://www.thepelicanstore.com/pelican-1500-case-1014.aspx Moz says the keyword doesn't exist on the page. Should I ignore it, remove it or otherwise change it? I feel the trademark symbol would help with CTR in the title.

Moz Crawl Canonicals and Duplicates
Hi all, I am using Moz Crawl to analyze some sites I am having to optimize.
Link Explorer | | Eurasmus.com
I keep seeing many of my pages detected as duplicate content when they have the rel=canonical applied. Example: www.spain-internship.com/zh-CN/blog-by-aaron
I have seen that in other sites. Of course I understand that Moz is not perfect but, is there a known issue or am I doing something wrong with the canonicals? Regards,0
