SEO Domains Question

[ILoveDotUK]

Have a question about domain metrics ..

Moz shows the below :
Domain Authority 14
Page Authority 14
Linking Domains 681
Inbound Links : Total 88.8k - Followed 81.2k

NeilPatel.com shows the same as above

Whereas ahrefs shows :
Backlinks 798K - 93% dofollow
Linking websites 420 - 24% dofollow

Which one is more reliable ?

You really need to download both reports and compare them - its completely impossible to draw any conclusions from the raw headline numbers.

If I was doing something important like potentially about to bid a large amount of money for it, I would download backlinks and manually verify everything in a spreadsheet. There's obviously a discrepancy between them.... either Moz is finding links Ahrefs isn't, or Moz is using crusty data and counting links that have been deleted already.

The best way would be to get any link data you have into one spreadsheet, dedupe it first (as moz will have missed some links ahrefs found and vice versa) and then manually verify everything.

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it.
What's even stranger is that SEMRush provides different data nowhere close to either of the above 3 sites.
Frustrating as hell
