Metrics scanner returns inaccurate Majestic stats

hoanglo

Hi
Metrics scanner has been returning inaccurate Majestic stats for seven days now.
It seems that Majestic is shutting down free access to their Chrome extension as well.
Hope you can find a solution for this.

Sven

Thats not a problem in our software but their API. It simply replies
with wrong data to the queries. I am not sure if thats a wanted
behaviour on their end to make tools like ours useless but we are
searching for a solution for it.

Right now I suggest you to use another metric data for filtering till
this issue is cleared up.

Thanks for the reply.

Would it possible to add Moz or Ahrefs metrics into the metrics scanner?

Sven

MOZ do not allow usage - legal issues
AHref  would need accounts so we skipped that

hoanglo

What about Semrush backlink metrics? They would be good alternatives to Majestic backlink metrics.

For example: https://www.semrush.com/analytics/backlinks/overview/gsa-online.de:root_domain

Sven

semrush is already supported

hoanglo

Yes, Semrush is already supported but without metrics like: Referring Domains, Domain Score, Trust Score.

(You can find those metrics on this page: https://www.semrush.com/analytics/backlinks/overview/gsa-online.de:root_domain)

If you could add those metrics to the metrics scanner, that'd be awesome.

Sven

I can only use what Im getting from their free api.

@Sven - I am not even getting any metrics anymore from Majestic, just red crosses.  Is this down for the time being?

Ah.  Majestic made an update.  https://blog.majestic.com/development/trust-flow-yo-yo-algorithm-update-majestic/

From the above post:

"Some of you will have noticed that some third party tools that steal our data don’t work so well now."
