Why do my top linking domains according to Webmaster tools, not even appear in my OSE report?
-
I know the Google index is obviously a lot larger than the MOZ index...but....
I have 8,000 links from blogspot.com according to Webmaster tools, and just one link according to OSE
I have 600 links from an online dictionary according to Webmaster tools, not one is mentioned in my OSE report.
I'd go so far as to say most of my top 10 linking domains according to Webmaster Tools, don't even have a single mention in my OSE report.
We've been hit hard by Penguin 2.0 and I want to look at our link profile.....it seems OSE may be great for looking at my competitors link profiles, but for my own site it seems to be, well, not very accurate at all!
So from a trying to do undo the damage caused by Penguin 2.0 point of view, should I just use webmaster tools and forget about OSE?
Thanks!

I agree to Vadim you should use all tools available if necessary so that you can identify all the back links possible and remove them asap and file the reconsideration request. They way I would do it, is to start obviously with the biggest which should be the webmaster tools, and write down in an excel or a doc all the links you sorted out, and after when useing OSE and other your will see if you have all ready done that link Good luck with that

Hi Konstantinos,
This should help: http://moz.com/community/q/google-webmaster-tools-and-open-site-explorer-s-links-not-matching-up
Summary from Keri (from Moz's) response: "SEOmoz and Google use different crawlers. We're not quite the size of Google, and the server farm we have doesn't quite match theirs either. Simply put, we don't crawl as many URLs as Google, so we won't show as many links."
In terms of which to use, use all tools including OSE, GWT, Bing, and others you find at your disposal.
Hope this helps

Why page load time is different in google webmaster vs what is displayed in moz?
When I analyze the site through Moz tool and compare the results with google webmaster, I am not able to figure what why Moz does not report the slow pages. Fro example this page has an avrage LCP of 3.0 sec https://www.collegehippo.com/graduate-school/programs/gre-score-business-analytics-data-analytics When I see the report in moz, it does not point to any such issue. Should I be worried about what google reports and try to fix the page?

Incorrect Reporting
Hi, We are trying to get a report for our clients for February but when we choose the dates 1st Feb-28th Feb, the actual PDF report has the incorrect dates on them (most say 6th Feb-22nd Feb). Is there any way to fix this because otherwise that will give our clients wrong information and in the long run it might be a decisive element for us to use a different keywords SEO tool. Many thanks, Leanne

Canonical in Moz crawl report
I'm wondering if the moz bot is seeing my rel="canonical" on my pages. There are 2 notices that are bothering me: Overly Dynamic URL Rel Canonical Overly Dynamic URL - This notice is being generated by urls with query strings. On the main page I have the rel="canonical" tag in the header. So every page with the query string has the canonical tag that points to the page that should be indexed. So my question...Why the notice? Isn't this being handled properly with the canonical tag? I know I can use my robots.txt or the tool in Google search console but is it really necessary when I have the canonical on every page? Here is one of the links that has the "Overly Dynamic URL" notice, as you can see the the canonical in the header points to the page without the query string: https://www.vistex.com/services/training/traditional-classroom/registration-form/?values=true&course-title=DMP101 – Data Maintenance Pricing – Business Processes&date=March 14, 2016 Rel Canonical - Every page in my report has this notice "Using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which URL should be seen as canonical". I'm using the rel="canonical" tag on all of my pages by default. Is the report suggesting that I don't do this? Or is it suggesting that I should? Again...why the notice?
