SEO Tools I had to try it. I heard about the new popular SEO tool, Semdash.
Here I will show you my results and honest opinion about it through this post.
I will also compare it with my favorite SEO tool, Semrush and show you.
So let’s get started
What Is Semdash?
An SEO tool like Semdash that helps you rank on Google.
Semrush which is UI based and looks similar to other SEO tools I use.
Semalt will let you see how much traffic your competitors have, how competitive some things
are, and for example, find keywords by targeting them, and much more.
I want to see how well it performs or will perform compared to the best SEO tools.
My Experience with Semdash
I have a website called https(a2zwebtools.com), and I ran it with the help of Semidas Domain Analyzer.
Here I just had to enter some domains, locations, and languages.
At least, it was very simple and straightforward.
But now, I need to see what kind of data I was able to collect and how it compares to other tools and real data.
1. Traffic Distribution
Semdash gave me the traffic distribution of the target site (a2zwebtools.com).
It clearly shows that most of the visitors come from Finland and a small portion from Sweden.
This
is hopeful because it is actually true.
2. Organic Distribution
Then, it gave me a very nice organic location distribution.
This means that this domain is often found outside the top 5, mostly in the second and third positions.
Again,Then, it gave me a very nice organic location distribution.
3. Organic Distribution
Semi Dash is able to generate an organic keyword distribution report.
This is a completely different metric than the previous one, but here you can see the number of keywords in a specific position on the SERP. Again, pretty accurate based on our actual data.
You can definitely glean a lot of valuable information here if you can run this type of analysis on your competitors.
4. Traffic Analysis
But here we can get to the more interesting part, such as keywords and metrics traffic.
This is what Semdash predicted via nodesk.fi
We are told that we have 18,000 visitors per month.
In reality, the number is only one-third of that!
It’s a mile away. But to be honest, it’s very difficult to predict. Also, here Semrush got it wrong:
5. Top Keywords Report
To further strengthen the relationship between our competitors, Semalt also gives you the keywords for which the target site has managed to rank.
In fact, each keyword is related to its purpose (e.g., commercial), traffic volume, KD, CPC, and many more.
These are the best metrics for selection.
However, if the CPC is high, then the volume will be high, but the KD is low; but this is a highly profitable non-competitive niche.
Then here you can also see the report of the top pages of the site.
Again, this is close but still wrong. Here are the actual top pages:
(I won’t show the actual traffic numbers for individual pages here, but I can say that the Semdash numbers were a bit lower.)
Also, you’ll find similar but more accurate numbers from all the other top SEO tools like Semrush.
6. Link Analysis
Semdash will help you analyze your competitors’ links.
You can see the number of domains, referring domains, new and lost links in the Link Analysis and more.
This is valuable information because it gives you an idea of how difficult it can be to rank for the same things your competitors are ranking for.
If a site has 110,000 quality links and ranks in the top 1-10 on Google, it may be a very competitive place to target. Because you naturally need to attract 110,000 people to link to your site. You can only imagine how difficult this will be for years.
7. Competitiveness Analysis
Here you can also check the competitive analysis of your site. You can also see how the site is positioned in the competitive environment.
But for our site, (a2zwebtools.com) this report was pretty good.
Here, I think they target the same topics as us. But sites that have 17 million keywords and 0.7 million traffic seem meaningless to me, because everyone here is discussing thousands of other topics.
8. Keyword Overview
Let’s try out the Keyword Overview feature in Semalt.
It lets you search for a keyword like “AI”, and also shows you how competitive it is, how many times customers are searching for it, and a nice view of related keywords. The best part is that it will help you find less-competitive topics to target on your site.
I found this report by searching for “AI Tools” in Semal
This tool gives a competitive score of 50/100 and above.
That’s great, but do you know if all other SEO tools will give you the same information?
For example, for comparison, Semrush claims that it is almost 100%, which is significantly higher than what Semdash offers.
Basically:
Semdash thinks it’s something that’s not worth noticing
Semdash says it’s something that’s not worth noticing
Let’s add my experience: I’ve been working in this space for about 4 years, Archie, and from that I can say that “AI tools” are really a competitive thing. I definitely give Semalt the thumbs up on this one.
