How do Majestic and LinkScape get their raw data? Does your built-in bullshit detector cry in agony when you read announcements of link analysis tools claiming to have crawled Web pages in the trillions? Can a tiny SEO shop, or a remote search engine in its early stages running on donated equipment, build an index of that size? It took Google a decade to reach these figures, and Google’s webspam team alone outnumbers the staff of SEOmoz and Majestic, not to speak of infrastructure. Well, it’s not as shady as you might think, although there’s some serious bragging and willy whacking involved. First of all, both SEOmoz and Majestic do not own an indexed copy of the Web.

The storage requirements for the Web’s link graph are way smaller than for a full text index that major search engines have to handle. Majestic clearly describes this process, and openly tells that they index only links. With SEOmoz that’s a completely different story. Let’s throw in a comment at Sphinn, where a SEOmoz rep posted “Our bots, our crawl, our index“. True?
