OpenExplorer vs Majestic results...?
-
I'm checking one of my competitors out, dubdubdub ny maids com, in both OpenExplorer and MajesticSEO. The former is showing about 2600 links from 850 domains (historic), while the latter is showing 58 links from 20 domains.
I don't see that SEOMoz has a historic feature, which is vague to begin with, but even the 'fresh index' of MajesticSEO is showing more backlinks than SEOMoz.
Could someone explain this dramatic difference in services? And could they also comment on how strong of an actual link profile they have? It's clearly a very old domain, which I realize has some weight, but with so many services showing such different results, I'm having a tough time discerning what it would take to dethrown them.
Thanks everyone.

Would you agree their link profile is very weak and would be easily dethroned by a strong SEO firm, then? Because from the looks of MajesticSEO it's pretty damn solid. What other tools should we be using to make an intelligent analysis?

SEOMoz puts a lot of effort into crawling the most important part of the web, whereas MajesticSEO is tuned to crawl more of the web. Some would argue that SEOMoz is probably the better overall measure of the domain's link profile strength, but you should look at a number of signals to evaluate.
The SEOMoz team has written up a long post about how they crawl which will be informative: http://devblog.seomoz.org/2012/06/how-does-seomoz-crawl-the-web/.

Why is MOZ crawl is returning URLs with variable results showing Missing Meta Desc? Example: http://nw-naturals.net/?page_number_0=47
Can you help me dive down into my website guts to find out why the MOZ crawl is returning URLs with variable results? And saying this is missing a description when it's not really a page? Example: http://nw-naturals.net/?page_number_0=47. I've asked MOZ but it's a web development issue so they can't help me with it. Has anyone had an issue with this on their website? Thank you!

Mozbar SERP Control Panel Help: Export Results Option Not Available
Hi everyone. For some strange reason, the "Export" option is no longer appearing in my SERP Control panel when trying to export results from the SERP Overlay. It worked fine before SEOMoz changed over to Moz, but now the option is no longer available. Is there something I can do to restore this feature?

Why are results different on Rank Tracker tool and New Rankings Weekly Reports?
Good Morning... Every week i get an email from SEO Moz that is showing me where the keywords i am tracking are currently in the SERPS (New Rankings and On-Page Reports)... Is there a reason that the current rank shown on these emails would be so different than what is shown when i use SEO Moz's rank tracker? For example, it shows one keyword has a rank of 48 (via email) and a rank of 16 through the rank tracker. What would cause such a great discrepancy? Thanks

New campain which give exactly same results as a completed old one after 2 hours
I started a campain a long time ago. 10,372 pages have been crawled and I have the results. Great. I started a new campain today (after migration of new code) and after two hours, the campain shows excatly the same results than what the the previous one completed in 4 days, as if it was the same crawl. Then the crawl stops and we see that the next one is in 7 days... Before there was a way to launch a campain after code modification to see right away the benefits. How can we do to see ifi the changes brought something without waiting for the next crawl? Thank you.

Open site explorer result discrepancy
Hi all, I'm a little confused - when using open sites explorer to view of link stats on one of our competitors site I get conflicting results. For example - Page Specific Metircs shows the url www.xyz.com has 265 external links. But Root Domain Metrics show they have 22,687 links Yet the total links at the top of the report says Total links 999 Can someone explain why www.xyz.com has 265 external links and the rot domain (which is the same) has 22687 links? I've also run the report on xyz.com rather than www.xyz.com which yielded no results. Thanks in advance
