        1. Different Methodologies: Moz and SEMrush use different algorithms to calculate DR.

        2. Data Sources: Moz and SEMrush may pull data from different sources for backlink analysis.

        3. Frequency of Updates: Variations in how often Moz and SEMrush update their databases can lead to differences in DR scores.

        4. Scope of Analysis: The scope of websites analyzed by Moz and SEMrush may vary, impacting DR scores.

        5. Algorithm Changes: Updates to algorithms used by Moz or SEMrush can result in changes to DR scores.

              Discrepancies in backlink profiles between different SEO tools like Moz and SEMRush are not uncommon. Each tool may use different algorithms and sources to crawl and index backlinks, leading to variations in the reported data. Here are some steps you can take to understand and address the differences in your domain's backlink profile:

                @LucyEmma Because both Moz and SEMrush have their own criteria

                    @mcafeeonline Hi!
                    Yes, I also face that problem when Moz shows different da on my website. And when I check from Semrush, it offers a difference.

                      Moz Q&A is closing, December 12th 2024

                      moz

                      After more than 13 years, and tens of thousands of questions, we’re finally closing Moz Q&A. Whilst we’re not completely removing the content - many posts will still be possible to view - we’re locking both new posts and new replies. Why? The truth is that the conversation has moved elsewhere. Sites like Twitter, Reddit, and more recently BlueSky and LinkedIn, have largely replaced specialist forums. At the same time, the challenge of moderating a platform like this has become more difficult, and of course, we’re SEOs, and the sheer quantity of new pages generated, often by malicious actors, has its challenges in terms of what it does to the profile of our site. Forums are still an opportunity for many sites, in SEO and more broadly, but the calculus no longer works for Moz. Where can I ask my question instead? If you’re a customer or currently evaluating a free trial, you can reach out directly with questions about the product to our customer support team here. If you want to learn more about SEO, you can check our learning resources here, and we also offer the Moz Academy. If you just want to hang out, you can also still find us on X, BlueSky, or LinkedIn. Thank you We’re grateful to everyone who has contributed to Moz Q&A over the years. It’s been a blast, and we hope this isn’t the last time we’ll see you here on the Moz site.

                      ahrefs keyword potential traffic volume moz pro

                      Hi! I am curious what is the Moz equivalent of "potential traffic" metric in Ahrefs? Is there any keyword metric I can check in Moz to receive data on potential traffic rather than only volume? Thanks in advance!

                      What to do with a site of >50,000 pages vs. crawl limit?

                      What happens if you have a site in your Moz Pro campaign that has more than 50,000 pages? Would it be better to choose a sub-folder of the site to get a thorough look at that sub-folder? I have a few different large government websites that I'm tracking to see how they are fairing in rankings and SEO.  They are not my own websites.  I want to see how these agencies are doing compared to what the public searches for on technical topics and social issues that the agencies manage.  I'm an academic looking at science communication.  I am in the process of re-setting up my campaigns to get better data than I have been getting -- I am a newbie to SEO and the campaigns I slapped together a few months ago need to be set up better, such as all on the same day, making sure I've set it to include www or not for what ranks, refining my keywords, etc. I am stumped on what to do about the agency websites being really huge, and what all the options are to get good data in light of the 50,000 page crawl limit.  Here is an example of what I mean: To see how EPA is doing in searches related to air quality, ideally I'd track all of EPA's web presence. www.epa.gov has 560,000 pages -- if I put in www.epa.gov for a campaign, what happens with the site having so many more pages than the 50,000 crawl limit?  What do I miss out on?  Can I "trust" what I get? www.epa.gov/air has only 1450 pages, so if I choose this for what I track in a campaign, the crawl will cover that subfolder completely, and I am getting a complete picture of this air-focused sub-folder ... but (1) I'll miss out on air-related pages in other sub-folders of www.epa.gov, and (2) it seems like I have so much of the 50,000-page crawl limit that I'm not using and could be using.  (However, maybe that's not quite true - I'd also be tracking other sites as competitors - e.g. non-profits that advocate in air quality, industry air quality sites - and maybe those competitors count towards the 50,000-page crawl limit and would get me up to the limit? How do the competitors you choose figure into the crawl limit?) Any opinions on which I should do in general on this kind of situation?  The small sub-folder vs. the full humongous site vs. is there some other way to go here that I'm not thinking of?

                      What Is he Difference Between Google UK and Google Great Britain

                      When setting up a campaign for keywords and selected search engines. I am targeting a UK market so obviously Google.co.uk is my main target. However when I set up the campaign i select Google as the SE but it asks me if I want United Kingdom or Great Britain. I selected United Kingdom and it has been returning 0 results for rankings even though I can physically see them in the SERPS. Does anyone know exactly what is the difference between the UK and GB options. I assume I should of specified GB but not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

                      TLD vs Sub Domain in Regards to Domain Authority

                      I have always been under the impression that top level (or root) domains can hold different domain authority than that of a sub domain. Meaning that sub domain's and TLD can hold different ranks and strength in search engine result pages. Is this a correct or just an assumption? If so when i add a root domain and subdomain into the campaign manager i get back the same link information and domain authority? www.datalogic.com
                      www.automation.datalogic.com Have I made an incorrect assumption or is this an issue with the SEOMoz campaign manager?
