I'd like to acknowledge that I did misspeak in this video. My study doesn't prove that search volume numbers are inaccurate. The intent was to show that they are not a good indicator of potential organic traffic to your blog. However, that's not what I actually said in the video.
So stay tuned for our next video. I'm going to eat some crow! (figuratively only, I hope)
What do you think about adam enfroy blog growth engine course?
My favourite functionality in ahrefs is finding backlinks and where competitors are getting backlinks. Very useful.
Please make videos on keyword competition
Great video! Looked at ahrefs but $100 a month! Have to pass.
Stop the video then click the 0 key 😛️
And in addition you are not getting ALL the clicks for the search so that would make the actual search numbers even higher.
Bro, Google keywords tool is not reflecting the wrong data.
Infact you searched the keyword – Datnoid Care there.
Have you noticed, only keyword – DATNOID also shows the article with datnoid care topic in top 10 searches?
Must✍use✍brain✍. Got it 😂
Man you have no idea how much this video changed my mind! thank you!

For my last article, I didn't use the keywords tool I usually use and used the techniques you guys talk about in your videos, and my article got indexed in 26 hours!!! That's a new record for me.
I agree with a lot of things in the video, when you say use your brain that was a little harsh for a educational YouTube video
My favorite feature for SEMRUSH is that you can see what keyword your competitors are bidding on along with the ad they wrote.
I wanna point something out that isn’t addressed in the video and maybe you guys can answer it. You guys do not address that the keywords show is the ONLY search term bringing in traffic. You say datnoid care has no searches in these tools and you get a sizable amount of traffic to those pages BUT I like the website up in Ahrefs and you rank for tons of keywords related to datnoid care including number 1 for datnoid which is a 600 a month term.
So how many searches does those pages actually get from that specific keyword?
I'll start looking at search volume differently. Thanks
Great Info i love it
According to kwfinder, your article ranks number 1 for "datnoid". Which is a low competition keyword with difficulty of 15. It has 2000 search volume with approximately 900 monthly visits. I think you rank for much more than the targeted keyword. Search volume may actually be close to accurate as indicated by the tools
Video couldn't have come at a better time, I was about to unsubscribe to a tool I am using and they offered me a lifetime offer which was hard to resist, I was about to accept it but thanks to your advice, realized no use accepting their offer. Tks
Thanks for the awesome video! Spot on as usual

I use keywords everywhere to find some cool keywords and their estimated potential.
Great ideas good value content I use ubersuggest is that tool the same case as these others?
Unique and very interesting video, thanks for sharing such information.
Please show us the Google Search Console(GSC) impressions and clicks. This process is ok but comparing the GSC would be more interesting and most people understand that keyword tools are good for quickly estimating volume.
Thanks a lot for the video. Can you guys please make a video on creating a blog with WordPress for beginners?
That's how I use these tools. I'm just getting some inspiration what keywords we can use in our articles and YT videos. I've always said to me, IF there is someone who's searching for keyword, it's worth using it :).
Greetings from Germany – Vroni
Ahrefs “traffic” column is so much better than the “volume”. It still typically is 2-4 times better in real life than what it says but it’s crazy how accurate it is on the whole with that. There are anomalies but even for the keywords you share here it’s pretty much 4x what the traffic column suggests.
Also tracking your keywords is great and too much to explain about back links
