Unsolved Backlink updates
-
There are a large number of missing backlinks (old) which are not showing on Moz but do show on Ahrefs.
Is there a reason for this?
Thanks.

Find broken links on other websites in your niche. Use tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush to discover these opportunities. Once you identify a broken link, reach out to the website owner, inform them of the dead link, and suggest your site as a replacement.

@chriscjpi Each tool has its schedule for updating and refreshing its backlink database. One tool may update more frequently than the other, leading to differences in the reported data.
The frequency at which each tool's crawler visits and indexes websites can vary. If one tool crawls more frequently website like ivcam Crack, it may pick up on backlinks that the other tool hasn't discovered yet -

Differences in the backlink data provided by different tools like Moz and Ahrefs can be attributed to several factors. Each tool uses its own web crawlers and algorithms to gather and process data, leading to variations in the results. Here are some reasons why you might see differences in backlink data between Moz and Ahrefs:Crawling Frequency and Depth:
Each tool has its own crawling schedule and depth. Some tools may crawl the web more frequently or deeply than others, leading to variations in the backlinks they discover.
Crawling Sources:Tools may use different sources for crawling the web. They might have different partnerships, access to different websites, or utilize unique methods to discover backlinks.
Data Processing Algorithms:The algorithms used by each tool to process and filter backlink data may differ. This can result in variations in how they identify and report backlinks.
Quality and Accuracy of Data:The quality and accuracy of the data collection process play a crucial role. Some tools may have more sophisticated algorithms or better data filtering mechanisms, leading to more accurate results.
Index Updates:Tools update their backlink indexes at different intervals. Ahrefs and Moz may not update their indexes simultaneously, causing differences in the reported backlink data.
Blocked or Restricted Access:Some websites may block certain web crawlers or limit access to specific user agents. If one tool is blocked or restricted, it may miss certain backlinks that another tool can access.
Historical Data Differences:Historical data, especially for older backlinks, might not be as comprehensive or up-to-date in one tool compared to another.
It's common for discrepancies to exist between different SEO tools, and it's generally advisable to use multiple tools to cross-verify and get a more comprehensive view of your backlink profile. If you notice significant differences, it could be worthwhile to investigate the specific reasons behind those variations or consult the support/documentation of each tool for more insights. -
@globalstudy54 This is really well explained, thank you! The numbers for my site are different in both (and neither seem to actually be correct!). So definitely about seeing what both detectives have dug up and then adding a bit of your ow knowledge as well.

@skchad13j Absolutely! So, in the SEO world for my Educational Consultancy, think of Moz and Ahrefs like two detectives solving a case differently. They use unique methods to find and track backlinks. Sometimes, their findings don't match up exactly. To get the full picture, I'd recommend using both tools, sort of like having two detectives cross-checking each other’s work. It ensures we're not missing any clues about how our consultancy appears online and who's talking about us. It's all about getting that comprehensive view!

@skchad13j thank you!

The disparity in backlink data between Moz and Ahrefs can be attributed to differences in their web crawling and indexing algorithms. Each tool uses its own methodology to discover and track backlinks. Factors such as the frequency of updates, the sources they crawl, and the criteria for including backlinks in their databases can vary. It's not uncommon to observe variations between different SEO tools. To ensure comprehensive backlink analysis, it's advisable to use multiple tools and cross-reference the data.

Unsolved Struggling to recouple backlinks that lead to 404 after a redesign launch
We had a site redesign launch a few months ago. Due to other priorities / a lot of things going on, there were a decent amount of URLs that 404ed. We implemented a drupal module search404 to redirect all of these to the homepage or a search results page that pulls search terms from the 404 page. Our goal is to recoup SEO value since we saw a notable dip in domain authority and amount of links after launch. We know a catch-all automated solution like this isn't ideal because it's better to 301 each page to its most relevant live page. For example, if CNN.com links to our Texas location, it's better to 301 to our new texas page than a homepage or search page. The problem is that since we implemented this catch all search404 module, it seems like tools like Moz Pro and Screaming Frog are not picking up the backlinks from external sites that 404 since they were "fixed" by the search404 module. Any ideas on solutions? We're trying to avoid tedious or risky solutions like undoing the module, which may bring back the 404s but cause some UX and SEO issues so we can run a SF crawl. Or going through every link in our link profile manually to check.

Unsolved Backlinks issues.
I am hoping this is the right forum to ask this question. But, I was looking at my backlinks and noticed that I had some go to a page that resembles my site, but had porn words on it. however, it would link to a place on my site. Under more information it has a real link to my site. What is this? I noticed the domain authority was in I believe the 70's; but PA was in 40's. I am new, so can someone explain this. Thank you. example below:

Rank Report Not Updating
The ranking tool indicates that a new rank report will be generated every Tuesday. My last report was on November 15th. It is now November 25th. It missed last week. Should I report something wrong or is this normal? How do I keep it updating on a weekly basis like it's supposed to? I checked in settings to see if I had done anything wrong and couldn't find anything. Regards, Dino

Ability to have .csv files automatically emailed on a weekly basis (after rankings are updated)?
Hi I am not sure if this is the proper place to post this. I was wondering if there are any plans to add automated emails to SEOMOZ Pro. Each week I find myself logging into SEOMOZ Pro to pull csv files across several profiles (I use PRO Elite), does SEOMOZ have any plans to add this functionality sometime in the future? All I need is an email to be sent to a specific email address after the ranking report has been updated. SEOMOZ staff - Great job on the tool, definitely the best ranking tool I have ever used. Thanks, Chris Phillips

Can I see backlinks to a specific URL, not including redirects?
Does SEOMoz have a tool that allows me to see backlinks to a specific URL sans redirected URLs? So, URL is www.website.com/search. www.website.com redirects to www.website.com/search and I want to see how many people have linked to the /search, the resulting URL. Thanks for any help! Erin
