Ahrefs latest changes are bad sucks

[Mr Positive]

They have removed the keywords reports, and the organic one is kinda annoying earlier it was easy and nice not even sure why would they do that. Anyone else feels the same

 

[Alya]

I can't see my site's keyword reports either. I hope they fix it soon

That's what big companies do when they are successful. Now they will go to shit and people will ditch them altogether. Same with Godaddy.

I could see this from afar off long ago when they first initiated a change to their pricing model. I mean, if you're going to up your price or barrier of entry, at least deliver quality. Not price going up and quality going down, such a shitty curve to imagine.

You can bitch whatever you want about Ubbersuggest, but I'm still an avid user of it and it does what I need to get done easy-peasy.

Ahrefs is powerful, but the recent PAA journey of @Sartre will tell you something about keyword research tools in general..so.. end of rants.

SaaS model sucks. This sh*t should be one time payment. I don't care about 49 other products they offer. I only want access to that one. Why they ditch that? They think they're next google and can afford ditching any project that isn't their major source of income.

 

[Proxysepetim]

I agree, they started shut down legacy tools, and force you to new interface.

 

[mirrorer]

Their entire new pricing policy sucks!

Agree with you. But I guess it happens with many tools; they understand that people get used to such a report and will not leave them! But I think they have a reason for doing this, according to their analytics. But yes, for me, it is not convenient as well.

Absolutely agree with you!!

 

[nakamura]

They did something similar a few years ago when they changed the way they evaluate the DR of a domain.

Not sure why people like ahrefs so much. Semrush significantly better for basically everything.

 

[SOM93]

Im unhappy with recent ahrefs changes too.

Its expensive and basically i only use the keyword & search volume and backlink analysis. Also the "keyword difficulty" isnt very accurate.

Is any of you using semrush? Is it better?

You can get semrush at a discount on the marketplace here and does keywords and back links better than ahrefs imo. Semrush position tracking destroys ahrefs rank tracker. I just use ahref free version now and use semrush as primary. Semrush Keyword positions update every 24hours which is nice if you are ranking up a lot.

 

[PinguSpy]

I paid for extra daily rank tracker update.
But it ain’t accurate.

I check using other saas, and vpn for US ranking it showed #4

Ahrefs showed #6

Majority of their features are not accurate yet expensive.

I use Ubersuggest, and recommend it to everyone, easy and efficient.

What keyword report are you talking about?

When I analyze a site, I have the keyword report on which it is positioned...

 

[SeoBacklinkGenie]

Semrush is the most accurate. I've cross referenced all ubersuggest, moz, ahrefs, spyfu, and a few more smaller ones. Semrush is unbeatable, most accurate and fastest at updating. Ahrefs is awful for keyword tracking, its not accurate at all and the updates for it are completely random sometimes 7 days or more behind.

 

[Rota Hasan]

it's real bad news indeed!

 

[Dark Hat 007]

I actually deleted my account there then realized that I needed em, they do a better job than Semrush with their free plan.

 

[leechesBleechin]

They get super defensive about people criticizing their changes and locked down their groups too. They've become real assholes *edited with less colorful language*

Semrush right now probably

 

[Phizic1980]

You can use Ahrefs as free test . Ahrefs shows main links and it good enough to make common conclusion what to do.
