Ahrefs vs Moz
-
Hi!
I noticed the Moz DA en the Ahrefs DA are very different. Where https://www.123opzeggen.nl/ has a DA of 10 at MOZ, the DA at Ahrefs is 26. Where does this big difference come from? Do you measure in different ways?
I hope you can answer this question for me.
Thank you in advance!

I see Ahrefs vs Moz have similar parameters. Specifically, my website has more than 2k shares.
-
I also analyzed a few websites and realized a huge difference in terms of DA. For instance, the website solidhook.ca has a domain rating of 67 on Ahrefs whereas Moz reports 18 (DA). This other website has a domain rating of 31 on Ahrefs but only 14 on Moz. Apparently, Moz bases its tool mainly on Google whereas Ahrefs considers other search engines like Bing. Your site can be performing so well on Bing but not so good on Google, this might be the difference. That's why our website has several posts ranking number one on bing but Moz reports 0 ranking keyword.

My domain (do-calculate.com) has 18 referring domains in ahrefs as of now with da:1.. but other website 6

Moz is simpler and more useful. It is also more successful in terms of SEO tools. That's why I use Moz.

Moz and Ahrefs are two popular tools used for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and digital marketing, but they have some differences in their features and focus:
Scope of Features:
Moz: Moz provides a suite of SEO tools, including keyword research, on-page optimization, backlink analysis, and rank tracking. They also offer a site crawler and site audit tools for technical SEO.
Ahrefs: Ahrefs is primarily known for its robust backlink analysis and competitive research capabilities. It offers features for keyword research, rank tracking, and site audits as well.
Backlink Analysis:Moz: Moz has a backlink analysis tool called "Link Explorer" that provides insights into a website's backlink profile, including domain authority and spam score.
Ahrefs: Ahrefs is renowned for its comprehensive backlink analysis, offering detailed information on backlinks, referring domains, anchor texts, and more. Many consider it one of the most powerful tools in this regard.
Keyword Research:Moz: Moz's keyword research tool helps identify relevant keywords for your content and provides data on search volume, difficulty, and potential traffic.
Ahrefs: Ahrefs also has a robust keyword research tool that offers keyword suggestions, search volume data, and competitive analysis to help you target the right keywords.
Rank Tracking:Moz: Moz offers rank tracking capabilities to monitor your website's search engine rankings over time.
Ahrefs: Ahrefs provides rank tracking features as well, allowing you to track keyword rankings and compare your performance against competitors.

In summary, both Moz and Ahrefs are valuable SEO tools, but the choice between them often depends on your specific needs and budget. Moz is a good choice for those looking for a comprehensive SEO suite with a focus on site optimization, while Ahrefs excels in backlink analysis and competitive research, making it a preferred choice for advanced SEO professionals and marketers. -

This is true. I've also noticed a significant difference in Moz's DA and Ahrefs' DA. My website Mzcurioso has a DA of 15 on Moz, but only 5 on Ahrefs. I recently came across this article discussing Moz's methodology: https://searchengineland.com/moz-domain-authority-case-against-431732. I'm not sure which of the two platforms provides the true authority of my site."

Hello,
I want to keep this explanation simple. Both Moz and Ahrefs have their own auditing sections that determine DA (Domain Authority) for Moz and DR (Domain Rating) for Ahrefs. The only common factor between them is the backlinks from referring domains. The more high-quality backlinks your website receives, the higher your DA and DR are likely to be. I've personally used both tools, and what I've noticed is that Moz tends to update its backlink data less frequently compared to Ahrefs.
Here's a real-life example: My website (digitlia.com) currently has 14referring domains. Ahrefs shows the same number of referring domains, but Moz reports over 20 referring domains, which is not accurate. This discrepancy is the reason why my DR is 12on Ahrefs and my DA is just 7on Moz.

Hi,
I'd like to answer this as simple as possible. I understand both tools have their own audit section that decides DA for Moz and DR for Ahrefs. The only common thing is backlinks from referring domains. The more high-quality link you get for your website the more chances are your DA and DR will increase. I used both tools and what I see is MOZ fetches the backlinks very late as compare to Ahrefs.
A real example: My domain (marketinglad.in) has 15 referring domains as of now. From Ahrefs, I can see the same number in referring domains and from Moz, I see just 4 referring domains and that's not a piece of correct information. That's the reason My DR is 17 and My DA is just 5.
I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question! There are many possibilities.
The first and most obvious possibility is just the shape of the model itself. Depending on how the models are stretched onto the 0-100 scale, it is possible that a DA 10 is essentially equivalent to a DR 26.
However, Moz Domain Authority and Ahrefs Domain Rating are two similar metrics but differ in a few critical ways. The most significant difference is this...
Moz Domain Authority predicts the likelihood that your domain will rank in Google based on your link profile, Ahrefs Domain Rating reports the strength of your link profile. I know this sounds like we are mincing words, but it actually matters quite a bit. Ahrefs might report a higher DR because a site has a lot of links while Moz might report a lower DA because we determined that the specific profile of links held by that site does not correlate with ranking well.
-
The measurement is different, and based on the datasets that ahrefs and Moz maintain; there is no value in comparing the metrics directly between the two tools.
I would suggest when using either of these metrics that you only compare within a single tool, and between sites/domains in similar (if not the same) niche.

Hi, Moz has flagged a whole lot of pages as dupe content, but I cannot see how they qualify as such.

Are there any strategies (Moz-specific or other) on how to improve the Total Links metric against competitors?
In competitive link metrics, our client is doing very well in every metric against every competitor except in Total Links against one competitor in particular. Wondering how to improve this metric against this one competitor. Any strategies, whether MOZ-specific or other that can boost this metric? Thanks.

How to handle subdirectories in Moz and Webmaster Tools?
I have 3 websites: http://www.abc.com (English pages) http://www.abc.com/fr (French) http://www.abc.com/de (German) Webmaster Tools In Google Analytics: I created an Account called ABC and created 4 properties with relative filters ABC Default (No filter) ABC English (filter to exclude /fr, /de) ABC French (filter to include /fr) ABC German (filter to include /de) In webmaster tools, I wish to add 3 sites http://www.abc.com http://www.abc.com/fr http://www.abc.com/de How do I validate each url with Google analytics, considering I just want the specific language for folder. How do I validate the domain name http://www.abc.com to always ensure the inclusion of the default english data? MOZ Do I need to create 3 campaigns (one per language) and if yes, again how do I handle http://www.abc.com which should exclude /fr and /de? Thank you

Looking to pull a report from MOZ with global search volume
I'm in need of a monthly report on campaign keywords with rank AND global search volume (not "just" traffic.) Is this doable from MOZ? More generally, what does monthly SEO reporting to the C-Suite look like for most SEO's? Would be a good "#WhiteboardFriday" topic. We are a mid sized ecommerce retailer.

Wild Fluctuations With Yahoo/Bing Moz Report
Whenever I get my weekly custom report, I usually see steady but moderate gains in Google or slight drops 1 to 3 spots. But, with Yahoo/Bing it's just crazy. +25 here, -47 here, etc, etc. Also, we even have keywords that we rank in the top 3 on with google, but not the top 50 with Bing or Yahoo. Not sure how that's possible. Nor do I understand how if Bing powers Yahoo, how we can have reports that show a dramatic increase (or decline) in Bing, but the opposite in Yahoo. Granted, not all the rankings are like that for Bing and Yahoo, but there are so many discrepancies, I'm starting to wonder if it's a software problem or something. Does this happen to anyone else? Thanks, Ruben
