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.

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?

Increase Moz authority above 26
Hi, I have been using Moz for 12 months and found some very useful features. My site’s score steadily increased from 18 to 26. But I seem to have now ‘hit a wall’ and my Moz ranking is static. My question is: Where on Moz.com can I find what next steps I need to take to improve my Moz score? Thanks in advance. Matt

Why is Moz Crawling More Pages Than My Site Actually Has?
Hi I have a site that only has 5k pages but Moz has crawled 50K pages on the site when I initiated the site crawl. I don't exactly know why Moz is reporting me back so many pages but I was wondering why this is and if any of you out in the Moz community know anything about this. Thanks

Moz Crawler fails on the first page
Hi guys, Can anybody shed some light, I'm running a crawl on a client's website but it's failing on the homepage and not crawling any other pages. It appears to be throwing an 804: HTTPS (SSL) error and then terminating the crawl. Now, the page in question was serving up mixed content up until about 4 days ago, but has since been fixed. I read that we should wait at least 48 hours before initiating another crawl to avoid hitting a cached version - which I did, but it still appears to be having issues. Is there anything specific I can do to get around this issue? I'm on a trial account and this feature is one I'm keen to test, so there is a bit of a time constraint. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Why'd Moz stop showing the list of users?
Curious to know if anyone else noticed that Moz stopped showing most of the active community users http://moz.com/community/users. It was nice to see who's who from visiting profiles and try to connect with them via email or see their websites, etc. There used to be pagination at the bottom. Why did they stop?
