How To Interpretate Stats From Ahrefs, Majestics, OSE when buying a high PR domain!
- SEO |
DA/PA/Mozrank/Trustrank from Opensiteexplorer.org
Citation Flow & Trust Flow from Majestics
Ahrefs rank from Ahrefs
--------------------------------------------------
Although Ahrefs improved their stats a bit lately it's still one big mess that makes no sense.
DA/PA from Opensiteexplorer can be faked extremely easy by blasting trackbacks, blog comments, guest book links.
Citation Flow & Trust Flow from Majestic can be hugely outdated, even up to 6+ months.
---------------------------------------------------
So what to do with these stats when they are so unreliable?
Let me first start with a little case study:
- A scammer at DP offers the following PR5 domain: thewindowsmom.net
- DA 29 / PA 41 (not terrible although too low for a legit PR5)
- Ahrefs domain rank 45 (same as above)
- Citation Flow 15
- Trust Flow 2
GOT YA, Trust flow 2 is freaking impossible for a PR5 domain, heck a PR0 domain with a handful of legit links would have a much higher Trust Flow.
This shows how important it is to pre-run domains through a tool like Netpeak Checker so that you know which domains are not worth it to further analyze.
I love Netpeak as it allows you to load 100's of domains at the same time and filter laser-fast through them.
That seller has 40+ domains for sale and I suspect all of them to be similar, however he didn't past the whole url's so I couldn't test.
Anyway, the final most important test on this domain was downloading all the links from Ahrefs and running them through Scrapebox for a PR check and guess what:
- 3 PR3 links (all from same url, just with and without www. and such)
- 1 PR1 link
----------------------------------------------
Some tips when using Netpeak checker:
- In case the Majestic Trust Flow is high then check whether the DA/PA are high as well, if they are very low you can be sure that that domain once had a ton of legit links but that they are removed (hence my comment about Majestic being so outdated)
- In case DA/PA are high, make sure that the Majestic Trust Flow is high as well, otherwise you could easily end up with a DA40/PA50 domain that has a trust flow of only 8, which means that it's a heavily spammed domain with hardly any solid links
- Ahrefs rank, well better just ignore that one as it has always been super flawed and still is.
It haven't taken MozRank and TrustRank into account as I never compared it in such way although I do always look at them, let's say mozrank =3 and trust rank =3 and the domain is PR4, then it's very unlikely that the domain is still a PR4, much more often a PR3 and in few cases even as low as PR2.
Hope this helped!
