Hi

I have a VA checking links in ahrefs. I noticed when my VA does a search and when I search the same site in ahrefs stats are different.

Can anyone explain this?

Example:

If you look closely you are not searching the same URL. Https and without are two different links
but doesn’t ahrefs include sub domain too?, and you should have blurred the site
 
Depends on the prefix setting whether it’s *.domain.* or whatever.
 
Definitely got it set on the metrics for the exact URL in the second screenshot...
 
The real question here is WTF is a weird worm and how do you make money off that :p
 
this is not my site it was just an example link sent from a link builder
 
What are you using for link anaylsis then ? SEM Rush?

This is actually a bug from Ahrefs. Their data is unreliable in the recent months and they received a lot of complaints in the group for this.
 
So which data is correct the 1st or 2nd screenshot ?
It’s your niche so I really don’t know. If it’s my niche I often have a sense of what’s right. Try to compare with other tools like Similarweb or Semrush.
 
https and http, www and non-www are distinctive addresses

In this particular case is because of the prefix. In second case you are looking at the homepage numbers only, while in the first screenshot is for the whole website. Just teach your VA to clean URLs from prefixes (there are various free tools that do that) and use just root domains.
 
Thanks bro
