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.

Moz claims we have meta noindex but we don't
Hi, I'm encountering an issue where moz scan says we have meta noindex, but I have confirmed across several of our pages that this simply isn't true. I have confirmation that the below tag is present: name="robots" content="index, follow" /> I also verified our https header through https://www.webconfs.com/http-header-check.php and see nothing indicating that we are sending any no index headers. Why would the crawler report this when it doesn't seem to be the case? Let me know if I need to provide more information.

Lack of UK Keyword Volume Data In Moz
Is it just me or is there a considerable lack of keyword Volume data for UK Google search terms on Moz? I have 53 keywords and not a single one has any keyword volume data - these are not obscure terms and include the following as examples... leather satchel, leather laptop bag, satchels, leather bag, leather backpack, leather school satchel. Without this information aren't a lot of the services offered by Moz rather academic as it is impossible to know which terms are really worth targeting. What is the solution? I could use US data and hope it is similar but this seems close to a deal breaker for UK subscribers.

Why isn't the Moz bar data populating for Yahoo sites?
The Moz bar isn't populating information for Yahoo homepage or it's verticals (i.e. homes, autos, finance, etc.), but I can get this data for other portals like AOL or MSN. I'm specifically looking for PA, mR, and DA information, but instead I get a generic "Search Profile" bar with no page/site-specific data.

Moz Crawl Test says pages have no internal links
Greetings, I am working on a website, https://www.nasscoinc.com, and ran a Moz Crawl Test on it. According to the crawl test, only 2 of the website's hundreds of pages are receiving internal links. When I run a similar test on the site using Screaming Frog, I see that most of the pages have at least one internal link. I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before with the crawl test; and there is a way to get the crawl test to see the internal links? Thanks!

Screaming Frog, Moz and other crawlers
Hi Ignorant question, but is it possible to use Screaming Frog or the Moz crawler or any other reputable crawler for a site still in development i.e. it is yet to be indexed? If so, could someone provide some quick instructions on how this can be done. Thanks in advance for any support. Neil
