      Hi All

      I am running a website, I have been using Moz since Feb 2021.

      Kindly go through these pics

      My question is why Moz is showing 2K plus backlinks while Google search console is showing just 1253 backlinks. Why fewer links in the google search console is less? How can I increase Google search console backlinks?

      Also, Moz is showing 90+ DA backlinks but those websites are not showing by the Google search console. What should I do to let google consider them?

        Google Search Console and Moz use different methods to collect and analyze website data, which results in differences in reported metrics, including rankings, traffic, and backlinks.
        Google Search Console provides direct insight into Google's index, while Moz aggregates data from multiple sources, resulting in discrepancies. Factors such as data freshness, sampling methods, and algorithm updates also contribute to differences in the two platforms' data for a website.

          Domain Authority (DA) scores are derived from Moz to measure the quality of a website. Moz has long been considered a pioneering SEO solutions provider. According to Google’s algorithm, some of its ranking factors are used in calculating DA.

          Do not mistakenly believe that Domain Authority Score is a ranking factor on Google. Owners of high domain authority websites usually complain that their site has not grown organically. Even you can see the domain with lower data in moz but highly graphs in search console https://greecepowerballresult.com/ The DA and google rankings do not directly correlate. These claims have been categorically denied multiple times by Google and Moz. Although Moz has become a standard for determining the quality and relevance of a website, it varies by each service provider. So don't worry and keep doin good good things.

              Why MOZ just index some of the links?

              crawl indexing

              hello everyone i've been using moz pro for a while and found a lot of backlink oppertunites as checking my competitor's backlink profile.
              i'm doing the same way as my competitors but moz does not see and index lots of them, maybe just index 10% of them. though my backlinks are commenly from sites with +80 and +90 DA like Github, Pinterest, Tripadvisor and .... and the strange point is that 10% are almost from EDU sites with high DA. i go to EDU sites and place a comment and in lots of case, MOZ index them in just 2-3 days!! with maybe just 10 links like this, my DA is incresead from 15 to 19 in less than one month! so, how does this "SEO TOOL" work?? is there anyway to force it to crawl a page?

              Why are there less backlink domains in Moz vs. Semrush?

              For our domain studyville.com, Semrush is reporting 46 linking domains, and Moz is reporting 7. Does anyone know where there is such a large discrepancy?

              Backlinks from the Same Domain (But Different Pages)

              Wayyy back when (in the days of yore) Mr Cutts spelled out in a video that page rank is distributed equally between the external links on the page. If there are two links on a page, each gets passed 50% of the available page rank etc. (Perhaps an oversimplification but bear with me). As a result of this, the company I worked for at the time (this was the dark ages when sidebar homepage links were in vogue) decreed that we would only ever approach a site about a link for a client once, as additional links had little extra SEO Value. Now you could argue that if there are 5 external links, each acquiring 20% of the power, and your site has 2 of those, you are getting 40% of the power, but lets forget the basic math for a minute. I have scoured the web and Mr Cutts' videos and I cannot find the answer to my question: If my site (Site A) has a backlink from SiteB Page 1, and a backlink from SiteB page 2 - does this count as two separate links in the eyes of Google? If the SAME site links out to my site, linking to different pages in different posts, does this give me more SEO benefit? Thanks for your time!

              How do we optimise links from a parent company to a subsidiary on different domains

              So we are the agent for an industrial company. They don't have a great website (well its pretty but doesn't rank) and have 5 product pages with a variety of products on each. We've taken those products and turned them into 50 pages with good on page optimisation. Now they've just agreed to give us a link on each page and I'm trying to figure out what the best text and link will be. As far as I can see there are three options Visit our agent for X region - sending to the home page If you are from X region you can request a sample of product group from our agent - sending to home page and product category page on our site If you are looking for X, Y, Z or P, Q, R in this region contact our agent there. - sending to home page and individual product pages The aim of this is to boost my page authority as 98% of the top 10 in SERPS have pages with zero authority and rely on the on page optimization and DA. Is this the best approach or are there other better ways of approaching the problem. It's worth noting that there is a total separation of control and ownership of the websites. I'm also starting to work with them to improve their on page optimisation and get links from their parent company to increase link juice

              How can I find all the outbound links from a website domain?

              I want to find all the outbound links (basically whatever comes in <a>tag) from a domain (say www.abc.com) as well as all the subdomains under it (say abc.com/a etc). Open Site Explorer provides the inbound links from a website but does not provide any functionality to get all the outbound links from a website. Is it possible to do?</a> <a>Thanks in advance. Deepak Jain</a>

              Where can I find a list of the top DA websites on the web?

              I'd like to find a ranking of the top DA websites on the web. I'm mostly interested in US websites. I'd like at least the top 10,000 or so but the more the better. Is there a way to get this data from OpenSiteExplorer or another source? The closest I've found is Double Click's listing of the top 1000 most_visited_ (not DA) websites: http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/ Thanks!
