          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!

                                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.

                                    How Long Do The Link Tracking Lists Take To Update?

                                    Hi, How long do the link tracking lists take to update? It's been over a week and each is still showing a red cross. The reason I created it was because I migrated to a new domain name and Moz is still showing the backlinks on the old property and not the new (the domain swap happened in December 2020). I can see that Ahrefs has picked up all of the links - Both new and redirected - but Moz has not. When will this be reflected in Moz as it has already been over three months? Is there a reason for the above questions? I appreciate any response here. 🙂

                                    How long does Moz takes to update DA and PA value?

                                    I used to work daily on my office website https://quintdaily.com/ and  follow link building strategy. however, since more than 40-50 days, there is no movement in my DA, as the PA has just lifted up. However, there is no changes in Domain Authority so far. Besides, other than this website, im working on location wise SEO projects, but, i can find those websites Domain Authority changed in less 20 days. Is there is time period in changing the Domain Authority once it touched DA 30+?

                                    How long does it takes for Moz pro to find backlinks and increase my score?

                                    Hi, I'm running a website for tourism & travel called Visit Guide or دليل السفر  and i have many backlinks from many websites ( DoFollow & NoFollow ) They are older than 10 days and Moz has not discovered them yet nor found them? How to push Moz Pro to find my backlinks? or how to SpeedIndex my backlinks in other words?

                                    How can I download all of my backlinks?

                                    In Opensiteexplorer it shows 16700 backlinks, but as I tryied various ways including advance report, with no filter I am getting only 1000+ links. How can I download all of my 16700 backlinks?

                                    Half of my backlinks just disappeared!

                                    I was just starting to feel like I was getting traction and all of a sudden half of our external backlinks just disappeared! Over the past 4 months we've taken our total external links from about 2500 to 6500 and with the lastest report, we seem to have lost more than half and are now around 2100. Our domain authority has dropped accordingly too.  I realize that backlinks aren't forever but what in the heck could cause you to loose over 4000 in a one month period? eK9w

                                    Backlinks by Date?

                                    Is there a way to see the dates a backlink was acquired? Thanks !
