      Hi All

      I am running a website, I have been using Moz since Feb 2021.

      Kindly go through these pics

      My question is why Moz is showing 2K plus backlinks while Google search console is showing just 1253 backlinks. Why fewer links in the google search console is less? How can I increase Google search console backlinks?

      Also, Moz is showing 90+ DA backlinks but those websites are not showing by the Google search console. What should I do to let google consider them?

        Google Search Console and Moz use different methods to collect and analyze website data, which results in differences in reported metrics, including rankings, traffic, and backlinks.
        Google Search Console provides direct insight into Google's index, while Moz aggregates data from multiple sources, resulting in discrepancies. Factors such as data freshness, sampling methods, and algorithm updates also contribute to differences in the two platforms' data for a website.

          Domain Authority (DA) scores are derived from Moz to measure the quality of a website. Moz has long been considered a pioneering SEO solutions provider. According to Google’s algorithm, some of its ranking factors are used in calculating DA.

          Do not mistakenly believe that Domain Authority Score is a ranking factor on Google. Owners of high domain authority websites usually complain that their site has not grown organically. Even you can see the domain with lower data in moz but highly graphs in search console https://greecepowerballresult.com/ The DA and google rankings do not directly correlate. These claims have been categorically denied multiple times by Google and Moz. Although Moz has become a standard for determining the quality and relevance of a website, it varies by each service provider. So don't worry and keep doin good good things.

              How i can Reduce Spam score of my website

              link building spam score spam backlinks

              Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to the community for some advice on improving my website's spam score. I've been using the Moz Spam Score Checker and my website, sngplbill.pk, currently has a score of 7%. While this isn't exceptionally high, I'd like to take steps to bring it down as low as possible, ideally under 1%. One factor I've identified that might be contributing to this score is a number of backlinks pointing to my site has a much higher spam score (over 80%). (screenshot attached)sngplbillscore I'm wondering if the community has any recommendations for how to address this situation. Here are some specific questions I have: Does disavowing the backlinks from spamy site seem like the best course of action?
              Are there any other potential reasons why my website might have a spam score, even with these backlinks?
              What general strategies can I implement to improve my website's overall SEO health and reduce its spam score?
              Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

              Backlinks from different TLD's impact

              Hi MOZ'ers, I'm wondering what the impact of different TLD backlinks is for same language pages. For example: we're on a website that has a German national TLD .de. We're earning backlinks and they are coming from .de as well as .ch (Switzerland) or .at (Austria) pages. What would be more desirable, and how big would you consider the difference? Looking forward to hearing your responses 🙂 Justen

              What is the difference between anchor text and external links?

              I understand you 'Pro's' may fins this a silly question. But I'm a visual learner and I can't seem to grasp this. I've read the pages MOZ has provided on anchor text and external links and my question is, how are they different? And which one is more important to seo?  Can someone who has a great ability to simplify things, please help me understand this. They seem very similar to me but, I know there has to be more to it. External links: External Links are hyperlinks that point at (target) any domain other than the domain the link exists on (source) **Anchor Text: **Anchor text is the visible characters and words that hyperlinks display when linking to another document or location on the web. Thanks is advance, Lauren.

              What's the difference between follow and nofollow links?

              I understand this may be a really dumb question and from my understanding there is a piece of code in some url's that tell search engines not to follow that link. I am interested in finding out what the purpose of nofollow links are and how they apply to search rankings. Thanks for the help
