Please enlighten us about the backend provider, I'm interested. It seems the OP of this thread is using the same backend as he's not willing to tell it. edit: Ubersuggest mentioned by someone says in dev blog https://neilpatel.com/blog/ubersuggest-update/ https://neilpatel.com/blog/ubersuggest-update/ > My data feed from SEO Power Suite, Data For SEO, and Shared Count totaled $75,253 for January. Is this the backend mentioned?

At first glance these look like sources for backlink data to me, which is the easy part. I think the real value of a keyword tool like ahrefs lies in the estimated search volume which comes from different sources than the backlinks. Is this about a monopolistic provider of backlink data or search volume estimates?

  The search volume estimates come from creating massive amounts of accounts that scrape Google Keyword Tool.

    This would be funny, because the sales pitch of some prominent keyword tools is, that Google Keyword Tool can't be trusted.

    Ahrefs says "and other third party data sources to find keywords" [0] Pretty sure they buy data from software tools like free anti-virus scanners, toolbars, chrome extensions, VPNs, etc that resell their user's web browsing history. This is called "click stream data". [0] https://help.ahrefs.com/en/articles/78119-where-do-you-get-the-data-from https://help.ahrefs.com/en/articles/78119-where-do-you-get-t...
