The Rise of SEMRush – A Keyword Tool with simplicity and with a more refined PPC and Organic Keywords




I was scouring the web using Google Search
last couple of days as i was trying to do a bit of Keyword Research and I
accidentally stumbled upon a website called SEMRush.com. With much curiosity I signed up for a Free Membership and just tried to browse over its pages. Few things I noticed about the site while I was trying to discovery more of its good stuff.




  1. First point is that, I believe SEODigger
    and SEMRush are one in which SEODigger is the beta version and SEMRush is
    the final product.

  2. Secondly, simplicity from SEODigger was
    carried over to SEMRush and made better I would say, which makes it pretty
    easy to browse from one page to another.

  3. Search method is about the same as the
    other Keyword Tools available around in which you can search either by
    Domain or Keyword.


  4. Price wise, SEMRush is the cheapest and
    the most affordable as compared to Adgooroo, KeywordSpy or
    KeywordDiscovery without a compromise to the Keyword Accuracy.

  5. Unlike KeywordSpy or Adgooroo, SEMRush is
    much simpler to use as it gives you the information you need right on! I
    think no one can really beat the beauty of simplicity.

  6. One thing I personally like about SEMRush
    is that, its Keywords are more refined and more accurate. For someone who
    wants a copy and paste type of Keyword Researching with no time to spare
    for keyword filtering, SEMRush would be the best Keyword Tool of choice for your Search Engine Optimization needs.

  7. Lastly, after I signed up for a free
    membership with SEMRush, i requested for a limited access so I could see
    the other stuff they have inside. Without any hesitation, they granted me
    that access just that easy. Support is so quick which is quite important
    when you subscribe to a service or product.




To sum it up, I give SEMRush Two thumbs up
for a great product and support. Now why don’t you try it out to see it for
yourself? Go to www.semrush.com.
