[SEO] Ahrefs vs. Majestic
 

Ahrefs or Majestic, which one is better? I am only asking about current links. I know that Majestic has a Historic Index, which can be a plus for them, but it does not matter. I am only interested in the current links.

Both are easy to block at the firewall or from server request access :2 cents:

Use what webmaster tools shows. What Google sees as links to your site(s) is all that matters.

Between those 2, though, it's just a matter of preference. Both are good.

Serious SEOs use all sources: GWT, ahrefs, majestic, open site explorer and some others.

GWT doesn't show all links. If it doesn't see some of them today, but the links exist, it will see them tomorrow, if it's not too late...

Something that Majestic's crawling software does manages to push my httpd process to 100%. This is not a runaway PHP script that gets killed off 60 seconds later - the process stays at 100%, until I manually kill it. Doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, a Majestic user-agent is involved. I still haven't figured out WHAT they're sending that triggers it.

It's a little troubling that a couple of non-malicious fetches from my web server manages to effortlessly DoS it. :helpme

how many of you tried monitorbacklinks ? i need some advice before the end of my free trial :)

Why spam your ref code?
