Unsolved Why is Moz so bad at finding lost backlinks?
-
90% of backlinks claimed by moz to be lost are not.
-
Moz may be bad at finding lost backlinks because of its limited crawl rate, inability to access all backlinks, and difficulty identifying all backlinks as lost.
To find lost backlinks, you can use multiple backlink analysis tools, Google Search Console, a backlink monitoring tool, and manually review your backlink profile.

@Arieabseo Moz is not bad at finding these. If they are lost of don't exist its because the backlinks have not been properly performed or removed. So check with the sites where the backlink exist and check. If they are there, that website needs to ensure they backlink properly.

How do I find http backlinks to my domain?
Hi, We spotted a number of sites linking to us from http sites, not https sites. How can I use backlink tools to find just those from http sites? Right now I'm looking at exporting a spreadsheet with 3.3 million entries and filtering - and there's not one person here who wants to do that! Thanks in advance.

Why is there difference in keywords of moz and ahrefs
Hello, my welding helmets website Helmet Adviser is about reviews and is causing me confusion. When I check my site keywords in Moz it shows lesser keywords and when I check in ahrefs it shows more. Same is for backlinks. But Moz keywords research is very authentic and i want to rely on it for keywords and backlinks too. Please elaborate for me why is there diff between Moz and ahref, so I can better utilize Moz by understanding what is going on in the background.

301 Redirects: How long for Google to recognize? How long for Moz/OSE to recognize?
I redirected a few pages that had funky URL issues (capitals and underscores and useless words) to the same page renamed with proper URLs. The sitemaps were changed also, and re-submitted. Like this: mydomain.com/Not_Pertinent_Words.html >>> mydomain.com/good-words.html Google seems to have found them and changed the search engine results listing in about 8 days. But it's been about a month now and Moz and OSE still have not transferred all the strength and link data from the old URLs to the new ones. Question 1: How long does it usually take Google to transfer all the link and strength data for a 301? Question 2: How long does it take Moz and OSE to do the same? Is there something I need to do to tell them about the changes?
