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?
- 55555 2y agoThe search volume estimates come from creating massive amounts of accounts that scrape Google Keyword Tool.
- weinzierl 2y agoThis would be funny, because the sales pitch of some prominent keyword tools is, that Google Keyword Tool can't be trusted.
- nickfromseattle 2y agoAhrefs 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...
