Comments on: How do Majestic and LinkScape get their raw data? http://sebastians-pamphlets.com/linkscape-opensiteexplorer-majestic-data-sources-shady-or-not/ If you've read my articles somewhere on the Internet, expect something different here.

I currently use SEOmoz because they give you API for $79/month I don't think its such a bad deal. However, I was comparing their data to Majestic at work and I realized that Majestic is able to give a lot more results, especially when it came to unique domains, they are also more up to date then SEOmoz. So, I might consider switching to Majestic, especially reading that interview at seobook, Majestic actually uses their own servers to crawl millions of web sites daily and acquire those statistics.

SEOmoz and ANY other "guru" should be heard, taken into consideration, analyzed, dissected, questioned and ultimately YOU as an internet marketer should implement your own strategies and come to your own conclusions. Not everything works exactly the same for everyone. And WE ALL know that there are lots of companies that will inflate their numbers in order to appear more attractive, established and important.

Just because they use SEOmoz data doesn’t mean it influences crawl, it could only aid URL discovery.
