    Well Last year I started my journey with Ahrefs and your Videos . I just want to thank you for teaching everything. I was a fresher in the world of Seo and I have learned alot from your techniques and implemented them, just want to tell you that I was able to rank in top 10 results in less than 3 months on a fresh domain, and after 6 months I was getting around 50k Users Per day, earning around 1200 USD per month from the website. Now I have around 8 Websites and I still use your methods to beat Big boys in the game. It's a Lengthy message, but anyways just wanted to thank you from my heart. Keep Rocking

    Sam, thanks for having the time to create this amazing video. I know its old and many other factors may be added and changed, but the question that i had for months if not years has been answered. Honestly i was really confused when seeing an article in top 10 with a low PA (below 20) but with an high DA (+60/70) that normally made me to quit. And that may not be the case, specially when i create mainly informational articles.
    Once again thank you very much for the time you put on it.

    I was just having this question today. Which tool has the most accurate Keyword Difficulty score? I guess no one, haha. As you said, you need to pick one tool, learn how its Keyword Difficulty score is calculated, and then do your research keeping those points in mind. But because no other tool apparently has shared how they calculate their Keyword Difficulty scores, I'll stick with you guys.

    Re: I have two websites on same shared host. Both 1 year old with 100+articles. I have never seen more than 300 visitor/day on any of my website.
    All the articles are long with supported multimedia.
    All the articles written with help of ahref tool itself.
    ON SAME RANDOM DAY THERE ARE HIGHER TRAFFIC ON BOTH WEBSITE BUT NEXT DAY IT WILL DROP FOR BOTH WEBSITES.
    Is my host causing this?

    • @AhrefsCom
      @AhrefsCom  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      This question is too difficult to answer without proper context, data or analytics. For example, you could have gotten a spike in traffic because of social shares. Or you might not be getting traffic because you aren't promoting it or building links.
      I'll encourage you to watch a few of our videos and start testing them out on your site.

    Sadly, nope. At the very least, not consistently reliable.Any reason you don't take DR and UR into account when determining KD? This is often the biggest misleading factor. Oh, an easy KW to rank... nope. :D It's hard to determine the relation of high DR vs low UR.

    • @AhrefsCom
      @AhrefsCom  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      As mentioned in the video, KD/DR are relative to the website you're working on. Manual review is a prerequisite and something I strongly recommend for any keyword you wish to target.
      -Sam

    • @markototev
      @markototev 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I understand, my question was more toward how you determine the "actual" KD when you see for instance a lot of high DR domains ranking without many links, but the pages they rank for have relatively low UR. If the SERP is full of 60+ DRs, but the ranking pages have 10-25 UR and not many links, or none at all, do you consider that something you can compete against?
