Here are the best tools for keyword research.
SEMRush is an awesome website research tool. You can check search engine or PPC stats on any website, seeyour rankings, or your competitor’s rankings. I love using it for keyword jacking.
Here are 2 ways you can use this tool in just a few min:1. Easy Wins Method: Put in your website URL. Under Organic Research on the left, click positions. See what
you’re ranking for on page 2, re-optimize your pages or add links (internal or external) to boost your rank.
2. Keyword Jacking Method: Get your competitors domains and run a keyword report on them. Sort the
report by kw volume, jack their keywords and either add them to your existing pages or build out new
pages. BOOM.
Quickest keyword tool ever! This will show strength values that come from majestic (TF & CF), & Unique
linking IPs for the top 10 results, as well as PR. Awesome. You can use this in combination with all the keyword
ideas you got from Semrush (item #1).
This is basically a free version of SEMRush – Just put in a ! seed keyword and it will give you all kinds of variations as
well as traffic, CPC, and more.
! This is basically a google suggest scraper. Find all kinds of long tails with this baby.
Ahrefs has come a long way and they just released their ! new keyword explorer. This has some interesting features that other tools don’t have like the “also rank for” feature.

Backlink Analysis Tools
You can check the backlinks of any site with these tools. I use them for all of the following:
1. Overview of what’s going on with a site (any anomalies etc)
2. Checking for over-optimization
3. Checking competitors to see if they have any good links or to replicate their links
4. Doing general research on domains
That all being said, these 3 tools do about the same thing but each one has strengths & weaknesses. Here’s what I think about all 3:
1. Ahrefs – Best at catching backlinks. Most accurate
! checker.
2. Open Site Explorer – Most commonly used statistics for judging website power or strength, however DA & PA metrics scale with spam so you really need to look at the actual backlinks too.
!
3. Majestic – Best for determining websites trust / strength.
