      1. Different Methodologies: Moz and SEMrush use different algorithms to calculate DR.

      2. Data Sources: Moz and SEMrush may pull data from different sources for backlink analysis.

      3. Frequency of Updates: Variations in how often Moz and SEMrush update their databases can lead to differences in DR scores.

      4. Scope of Analysis: The scope of websites analyzed by Moz and SEMrush may vary, impacting DR scores.

      5. Algorithm Changes: Updates to algorithms used by Moz or SEMrush can result in changes to DR scores.

            Discrepancies in backlink profiles between different SEO tools like Moz and SEMRush are not uncommon. Each tool may use different algorithms and sources to crawl and index backlinks, leading to variations in the reported data. Here are some steps you can take to understand and address the differences in your domain's backlink profile:

              @LucyEmma Because both Moz and SEMrush have their own criteria

                  @mcafeeonline Hi!
                  Yes, I also face that problem when Moz shows different da on my website. And when I check from Semrush, it offers a difference.

                    ahrefs keyword potential traffic volume moz pro

                    Hi! I am curious what is the Moz equivalent of "potential traffic" metric in Ahrefs? Is there any keyword metric I can check in Moz to receive data on potential traffic rather than only volume? Thanks in advance!

                    My Site DA did not increase Even My DR is 33

                    moz authority

                    HI Moz Community, I have a little issue about my site DA. My site has more than 100 strong backlinks but still my Domain authority is less than 20 But on the other hand Ahrefs show my site Domain rating is 30+. So i have a question is how can I increase my site Domain authority?

                    Moz-Specific 404 Errors Jumped with URLs that don't exist

                    Hello, I'm going to try and be as specific as possible concerning this weird issue, but I'd rather not say specific info about the site unless you think it's pertinent. So to summarize, we have a website that's owned by a company that is a division of another company. For reference, we'll say that: OURSITE.com is owned by COMPANY1 which is owned by AGENCY1 This morning, we got about 7,000 new errors in MOZ only (these errors are not in Search Console) for URLs with the company name or the agency name at the end of the url. So, let's say one post is: OURSITE.com/the-article/ This morning we have an error in MOZ for URLs OURSITE.com/the-article/COMPANY1 OURSITE.com/the-article/AGENCY1 x 7000+ articles we have created. Every single post ever created is now an error in MOZ because of these two URL additions that seem to come out of nowhere. These URLs are not in our Sitemaps, they are not in Google... They simply don't exist and yet MOZ created an an error with them. Unless they exist and I don't see them. Obviously there's a link to each company and agency site on the site in the about us section, but that's it.

                    Difference between urls and referring urls?

                    Sorry, nit new to this side of SEO We recently discovered we have over 200 critical crawler issues on our site (mainly 4xx) We exported the CSV and it shows both a URL link and a referring URL. Both lead to a 'page not found' so I have two questions? What is the difference between a URL and a referring URL? What is the best practice/how do we fix this issue? Is it one for our web developer? Appreciate the help.

                    Robots.txt blocking Moz

                    Moz are reporting the robots.txt file is blocking them from crawling one of our websites. But as far as we can see this file is exactly the same as the robots.txt files on other websites that Moz is crawling without problems. We have never come up against this before, even with this site. Our stats show Rogerbot attempting to crawl our site, but it receives a 404 error. Can anyone enlighten us to the problem please? http://www.wychwoodflooring.com -Christina

                    Moz Pro vs. Moz Analytics

                    Beta version has been out for awhile. Curious to know what people think of Moz Analytics. Personally, I'm having a hard time making the switch from Pro to Moz Analytics because I'm so used to the navigation and layout of Pro. What does everyone else think of the new Moz Analytics? Advantages? Disadvantages?

                    Moz & Xenu Link Sleuth unable to crawl a website (403 error)

                    It could be that I am missing something really obvious however we are getting the following error when we try to use the Moz tool on a client website. (I have read through a few posts on 403 errors but none that appear to be the same problem as this) Moz Result Title 403 : Error Meta Description 403 Forbidden Meta Robots_Not present/empty_ Meta Refresh_Not present/empty_ Xenu Link Sleuth Result Broken links, ordered by link: error code: 403 (forbidden request), linked from page(s): Thanks in advance!

                    Discrepancies in PA and LRDs reported in different SEOmoz tools

                    I've noticed a difference in the reported PA and LRD numbers for URLs depending on whether you use Open Site Explorer, or look at the same metrics from within the rankings history (in your campaign set up). I've checked this for a few URLs and what I'm seeing is the reported scores for PA and LRDs is different 9 times out of ten. The PA is sometiomes higher on one report, lower on another, or vice versa. Same for LRDs. I thought it might be because one report was lagging behind and using old data, but that would only make sense if I was seeing an increase in reported LRDs, but it just as often shows a decrease ! Is this just a bug in the campaign>rankings history report or is there a reason for the discrepancies?
