Any idea why HubSpot (which uses the MOZ api) can find our backlinks but OSE can not?
-
Links are showing up in the HubSpot link tool within a couple of days. OSE has our site showing zero backlinks. ahrefs is finding them too but that makes more sense.
Does the API update more frequently than OSE? Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi Erin,
Thanks so much for the response! Yeah, I am going to reach out to hubspot just out of curiosity.
I will check OSE again when the new index hits.
Have a great week!

Hi there. My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help team. Thanks for reaching out with such a great question! You're totally correct about AHREFS. They pull there link data from different sources, so they're always going to show different information than OSE.
Hubspot does get at least some of their information for their Link Tool from our API, but I don't think we're their only source. I pinged a few team members to see if they had any ideas, but they closest thing we could find was this article. If they're showing a backlink that we aren't it's likely that they're using other sources. Sorry I can't shed more light on this! The truth is I'm not totally sure all the sources Hubspot uses. In regards to OSE I can tell you that we update our Mozscape Index about once a month. You can always check for our next update here. I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, just email help@moz.com.
Cheers,
Erin

Yes, but my understanding is that HubSpot uses the MOZ api to crawl the web?
-
HubSpot and AHREFs likely have more resources dedicated to crawling the web for links. The more resources you have, the more of the web you crawl and the more links you find.

Can you tell me about the impact of Do-follow and No-follow backlinks for increasing Moz DA?
Have Do-follow backlinks and No-Follow backlinks same value to increase Domain Authority in Moz? Recently, I have created 290 profile backlinks which was do-follow. But from yesterday I have seen all backlinks are no-follow now according to the decision of sites' owners. My site's DA has already increased up to 35. Will this DA fall gradually from now? Apart from it, if I have created same backlinks for my another site; will my DA be 35? Please try to clarify it. My site is: https://kodnest.com Thanks. Waiting for your valuable answer from Moz official.

Can the API give the same data as the UI?
What I mean is, I'm not that interested in counts. What I'd like to figure out is how to get the API to give me what the UI gives me , so that for a given target domain I can download a report with the following fields: URL
API | | StevePoul
Title
Anchor Text
Spam Score
PA
DA
Linking Domains to Page
Target URL
Link Type
Link State
Date First Seen
Date Last Seen
Date Lost
HTTP Status Code
Links to Page
Outbound Domains from Page
Outbound Links from Page
Operator profile That's essentially the same as a CSV report generated by clicking on the "Export CSV" button. I could ,I suppose, get someone to write something in Selenium to enter a domain, click on the button and hang around on the notifications page for the results but I'd really rather not.1 -

New Moz reports
The new MozPRo reports do not give me the same level of data as my previous reports on the old platform, including detailed keyword reporting. I recently discovered that even if I schedule a monthly report, I still only get weekly data. Is it just me or is anyone else struggling with these new reports?

What is Moz's Error.aspx?aspxerrorpath HTTP Status 302 error message?
Hi, I am not sure what this error message is: "Error.aspx?aspxerrorpath". It immediately follows pages that are given at 302 status in Moz's crawl report. The same pages have never had this error before: | http://www.homedestination.com/news/2013/Minneapolis-home-price-appreciation.html | | http://www.homedestination.com/mortgage-worksheet.html | | http://www.homedestination.com/foreclosure-eligibility.html | Each page has a 100% score with WC3. Could you give me more insight as to what Moz may suggest I do to give the page a 200 HTTP status as before? Thanks.
