The power of Mozrank.

Just digging through a list of old Web2 blogs I had built up over the years. And found this weebly blog.

PR0
MozPageRank 62.7
MozRank 4.19
MozTrustRank 5.75
Links in Moz 4618

So the question is.

What value do you put in Moz over PR?

    Moz is silly.

        I put no real value in Moz anything. I have seen too many crap webpages with great Moz stats and vice versa.

        The PR we see can easily be faked with a redirect, so PR in general doesn't mean much unless there's proof in the link profile that the PR is realistic.

        Moz is just a bunch of sales gimmicks, not sure why people believe that junk.

    You can't put much because a metric like that is only as good as their backlink profile and their ability to find links is spotty at best.

      Yeah your right. I should have added that in.

      Link profile
      Referring Domains
      1,458
      2,341 in the last 5 years.

      External Backlinks 28,096
      33,426 in the last 5 years.

      Citation Flow
      42
      Trust Flow
      21

      But I was just really interested in opinions,
      An example would be say when it comes to choosing link locations for a blog network. Would you be happy to have sites like this in your network, even though the PR is low?

        Mozrank can be the same crap as alexa rank...

    Mozrank can easily be manipulated. If you point 50,000 blog comments at a domain, then funnily enough, Moz will show that the domain has 40+ DA and 50+ PA. To most, this would be a premium domain, but in reality, it's a crap domain with 50k nofollow links.

    Just got back from a #BrightonSEO. I was given room 404 in the hotel I stayed at. Couldn’t find it anywhere!

      Thanks for your input but no real relevance to the question.

      Thanks Ice. Sure your right. As can every metric of value be manipulated. Even SERPs, that's why We do what We do right? But thanks for the input.

      That's all I need on this one. What caught my attention was more or less what Mike Friedman said, about the huge inconsistency between value metrics. Seeing high PR/Moz or whatever, really doesn't mean shit until you see the full picture of things.

      Thanks fella's
