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.

Accuracy of Moz Keyword Tool
I understand that no search tool is entirely accurate, but I'm seriously beginning to doubt the accuracy of the Moz keyword tool search volumes for keywords. For example: I entered "largest police departments" and it says 0-10 per month in the US, despite the fact that that term is directly responsible for 200 hits per day. Many alterations of that keyword come up with 0-10 or not determined. This is not a small error -- and it repeats over and over for other search terms that I have already ranked for in the US. It's gigantically inaccurate in a massive scale.

How does Moz determine the number of keywords evident on a given page
How does Moz identify which keywords are evident on page and how many that can be on that page. Can any of these identified keywords lie on any other pages within site and to what degree-thanks

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.

MOZ Freshweb reported mentions that really does not contain any mention - anyone else experiencing this?
MOZ Freshweb reported links from "traffic.fullcontentrss.com" that doesn't really contain any mention. Is this a MOZ error or is it maybe since fullcontentrss.com has a javascript that pulls data into their own RSS, MOZ ended up crawling partially and as a result not reporting the correct URL? Anyone else experiencing this anomaly?

Duplicate page found with MOZ crawl test?
When I crawl my website www.radiantguard.com, the crawl test comes back with what appears to be a duplicate of my home page: http://www.radiantguard.com and http://www.radiantguard.com/ Does the crawler indeed see two different pages and therefore, are my search engine rankings potentially affected, AND is this because of how my rel canonical is set up?

Moz crawler only crawls one page?!
Hello there, I'm using Moz for a while and I'm very pleased with the tool and community. But for the first time I encountered a problem. We are trying to run a crawler for a client's website but only one page (only the homepage) was crawled. We tried to do a test on a more detailed level (maybe there is something wrong with the homepage). My campaign test's crawl came back for the Producten folder (level deeper than homepage), and it was also only a 1 page crawl with a 200 status. I did look at the robots.txt file now, and it is very restrictive, but there is nothing that I can clearly see that would explain why the crawl isn't working. Hopefully someone can point us at the right direction. Thanks in advance, Jeremy

Moz crawl sees meta description but there are none
I have a new site I have run a starter crawl on. The crawl came back saying some of the pages do indeed have meta descriptions. When I go to the same page and use the Moz Chrome toolbar it says they do not have meta descriptions. I also know they do not have meta descriptions. Are there any instances in which the Moz crawler would see them when they are not there?
