On the homepage, you will find a search box where you can enter a domain name, keyword or any URL that you want to. To help you understand better I have typed in eBay.com as an example. So after you type in the URL just hit enter and be amazed to find a lot of important data on a single page.
So in our case, we have used eBay.com, and let me give you some idea about what is on the screen. Before I look any further I have an option to choose to see the Google data from over 26 countries for that domain. By default, it is set to Google US. And also I can switch between the data for desktop and mobile.
Let’s dig into the data that is on the screen right now for eBay. I can see the organic search data with the keywords for it. It also has data for its paid search, backlinks and also displays advertising that eBay spends on. Then there is a whole lot of information for both organic keywords as well as ads keywords.
Under the top keywords section, I can find all the keywords (it’s huge) that eBay ranks for on Google. It also has the main competitors of eBay along with the competitive position of its place on the Internet. And there is a similar kind of data for the ads keywords as well.
And the data mining doesn’t stop right there, you can also see some of the sample ads that eBay has opted for. There is a huge load of data for the URL, it includes the backlinks, and nofollow vs follow along with backlinks types, referring domains, indexed pages, and the latest publishers with landing pages.
By this time should be able to get an idea of what this tool is all about. If you are interested in data mining, keyword searching or you are an SEO this tool can come in handy, to say the least.
These are some of the reasons why I feel SEMrush is one of the best tools in its category:
- In a matter of seconds, you can get a lot of data related to a website.
