I think it’s pretty crazy how the Semrush & Ahrefs algo calculate traffic but crawling etc..? Dose anyone have any idea how these calculate traffic to get to such approximate numbers?Both ahrefs and semrush use similar data sources with different algorithms to estimate the difficulty of ranking for specific keywords, the best option for you depends on your needs, so compare both options.
Ahrefs much betterI have used Ahrefs and Semrush and I can say that Ahrefs is better for crawling backlinks.
However, I can't really say about the Keyword Research part. So I am thinking about asking for everyone's opinions.
- Keyword volume: which tool gives more precise information?
- Keyword difficulty: which tool gives more precise information?
What makes it costly?Ahrefs is much better but they have an issue is that they are very costly for newbies starting new projects.
It all depends on what exactly you want to do with Keyword Research. If you just want to find as many keywords as possible, then both tools are fine.I have used Ahrefs and Semrush and I can say that Ahrefs is better for crawling backlinks.
