Is Moz more accurate than Ahrefs ?
-
When I check my this website https://joinpakarmy.com.pk/ on Moz it gives me DA 3
But when I check it out on Ahrefs, it tells me there is no authority for this site.
So who is more accurate in the result?
thanks -
Hi - thanks for reaching out.
One thing to keep in mind is the data we collect in our index will vary from what they collect in there's. If you are seeing data in Link Explorer but not in their tools, most likely this is because we have data around your site, and they do not.
We hope that helps, let us know if you have further questions we can assist with.

Actually, even Google folks don't really know how exactly the algorithm works, all due to machine learning.

Take into account that, both MOZ and A hrefs have the tendency to still list links while being removed for a while.
Really these numbers dont mean alot in comparison to google. Both are not asociated with google but do their own maths or calculation on how to summerize it's DA/PA. What google does is litterally a mystery for everyone except for who works at google obviously.

Hi there,
Well, It's not about which tool is more accurate.
MOZ and Ahrefs are using completely different ways of calculating DA and DR, therefore, scores will be different.
If you check your URL, you can also see that MOZ reports 19 domains and 53 backlinks, while Ahrefs reports 45 domains and 134 backlinks.
Ahrefs has much bigger index, so, technically, Ahrefs is more "accurate". The way I distinguish Ahrefs vs MOZ's indexes is that MOZ shows "important" backlinks, and Ahrefs shows everything.
Here is a link to MOZ's description of DA: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority
Here is Ahrefs' DR: https://ahrefs.com/blog/dr-score/
Hope this helps.

Page Optimization problem in Moz
Hello there, I've been using Moz Pro for a year now, and encountered I've encountered small issues here and there (like some features not working currently, but they start working after a few hours tops) but now I have a bigger issue. Page Optimization feature stopped working and it's dead for five days now. Even my older research is gone. (check the images) Anyone else having this problem, or is it just me? It says that the crawler is blocked or the page isn't working, and when I check the pages in other platforms with crawlers it all goes smooth. All of the pages are working, and all of the crawlers (tested even in Google console) are doing fine. I even had the Moz crawler on 04.07.2019 as the standard week crawl and I got the results. Everything else is working just fine, I have a problem with the Page Optimization feature only. Thanks in advance, Ivan Ga4LKkQ

Moz Top Pages and Tool Bar Not Crawling Internal Pages and Links
Hello, We’re having two issues with our Moz tools and we’re not sure what’s causing them and whether they are related. The Moz Bar isn’t highlighting some of our internal links (including navigation links). The Top Pages Report in Open Site Explorer is only picking up the homepage and a couple error pages (none of the internal pages). The full Crawl Report is picking up everything though. Could a potential cause of both these issues be the Title attribute in some our links? – We use <a <="" span="">title="Example" href="link"></a> <a <="" span="">Or is this most likely from something else blocking the crawler from accessing our links/pages? Google Search Console does seem to be picking up the links in the navigation and everything is indexed/rendered correctly so we also didn’t know if this is something that could be issue. Any insight or help would be appreciated. Please let us know if there are any details we could provide that might help. Looking forward to hearing from all of you! Thank you in advance. Best,</a>

How is Moz's DA score so high?
Obviously they make the tool that measures this, but is their own score inflated because of this? I know DA isn't strictly a measure of popularity, but Moz's own score seems a little _too _high compared to some other sites... 92 - Moz.com 90 - Salesforce.com 87 - Airbnb.com 84 - Priceline.com 83 - Squarespace.com Can someone shed some light on how DA is actually measured?

Moz Crawl Test Tool - SEO Web Crawler showing up with no details
So basically I have ran the Moz Crawl Test tool twice for this url "bubblingwithenergy.info" and both times the report has listed 1 URL when there is obviously a lot more if you check the site. My question is, why is the Moz Crawl only reporting 1 URL when there are heaps? Is there a possibility it is being blocked and if so what would be blocking it? This website is using a CMS called Infusion and it is based off CMSMS (CMS Made Simple). Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Can you give some examples of MOZ Local Partners who have an API and update quickly?
In answering questions about the speed of MOZ Local, I've seen this a few times: "The time it takes our partners to update the listing really depends on whether or not they have an API. If they do have an API, the listing will be updated pretty much immediately." Can someone provide a list of which Partners have an API, and which do not?

Does Moz Pro generate similar keyword phrases in a list (preferably showing their difficulty %) or is it only one phrase at a time with no similar words/phrases suggested?
I just signed up for Moz Pro but the keyword research seems to only let you try one keyword phrase at a time. Is there a way for it to give related keywords along with their difficulty % info, etc. It is far too slow and inconvenient doing one at a time.
