AWESOME training tutorial. Just excellent. Wanted on piece of clarification. When you say "make a note of search intent" what exactly should we note down?
Search intent is the reason behind a searcher's query. When doing a keyword research and choosing your keyword you should check for their search intent and use the keywords according to the search intent. We have a bit more thorough video on search intent here: ua-cam.com/video/zXPZ0L2cOw4/v-deo.html Maybe it'll help you :) -Helen
As a start-up, we are very pressed for finances. Do you think adding keywords and meta descriptions is something we can do ourselves now that our website is up? The cost for an SEO developer is outrageous for a startup. What are your thoughts? Great how-to videos!
This video (and all the others from Ahrefs) have been really helpful in understanding the tool, thank you. I've heard that when targeting keywords if the SERP show sites like Quora, Reddit, Pinterest, etc.., the competition to rank at the top is not too difficult. How true is this?
It is going to be a hard task to outrank giant websites with strong backlink profile. But I am sure there are some keywords where weak pages of these giants can be outranked if you optimize the page for search intent and work on linkbuilding. - Max

@@AhrefsCom I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. Ahrefs has an amazing reputation for being a top notch company, software suite etc.. and it's the little things like responding to comments that supports that reputation. Do you have any particular ahrefs videos you'd recommend to people doing keyword/topic or content research for a brand new website? I was hoping to find a playlist for people working without the luxury of an existing Google Console to pull suggestions from and into Ahrefs? Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you!
This is just what I needed. Getting an Ahrefs subscription soon. Could you kindly give a pointer: my business niche is Pool Table Lighting/Billiard Lights. What would my seed keywords be in this case?
I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with the niche to offer any good ideas. But you could always start off with what you're selling as a seed keyword 🙂 - SQ
For referring domains, do they need to be high quality backlinks just like in the "SEO For Beginners" course? And since this video was linked out to from the course, will a low DR rating affect my ability to rank for keywords that fit the criteria in this video?
Do we generate backlinks for the webpages targeting low competition keywords on top of the webpages focusing on topics that generate backlinks or just generate backlinks to the webpages targeting topics that generate backlinks?
Thanks sam for that much effort on making best tuts , can you make more on broken link building because its difficult to get links for long tail keywords
You mentioned that we should try to follow the searcher's intent. while targeting a keyword for your blog posts. What should a digital newspaper do in this regard? Their intent to try to target every niche so that they can attract related business for getting ad dollars
I believe a digital newspaper has a different business model. You should serve your audience. If they're looking for breaking news, then they are not going to rank in Google (at least for long.) It's just the nature of news. - SQ
Hi! Just got Ahrefs. I'm wondering how big of a factor the domain name is, if it does not automatically convey the industry I am in (food and wellness). I'm at a point where I could change my domain name, but have grown to love it and others have come to recognize it as my site as well. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks
Are the money terms specifically for affiliate marketing opportunities? Why else would you need this step if you don't prefer this as a core revenue path? Just curious.
ahref shows my keyword having KD of 2 that is low right! and suggests me to get backlinks from 3-4 websites to rank in top 10. but upon looking at the top 10 pages ranking for the keyword, all the websites are of e-commerce company with high DA but very few backlinks, so the question is while I, making a new affiliate website and managing to get 4-5 backlinks and also doing a decent on page SEO, be able to outrank these e-commerce pages?
Probably now. We estimate the number of backlinks that you need to rank for a keyword with your page by looking at backlink profile of top 10 ranking pages. It would be a close estimation if your site has close DR to your competitors. - Max
You'd likely have less pages because there's less topics to rank for in terms of services. Whereas blog posts would likely make up a good portion of your total traffic. This is all assuming search intent is like that for your niche. -Sam
Blog still can cover more topics on clients' needs and "pains", while services are more competitive topics with lack of content variety. Of course, you want to have these pages, but blog posts will have more options in future. Hope that helps. - Max
Hi Sam, thank you for the wonderful video. Could you please suggest an existing Ahrefs blog or video that might be most relevant for how to do Keyword Research for an OLD Website?
I am a paid member of ahref and my new blog is entirely into sales funnels, landing pages email marketing digital marketing etc with reviews and tips. So can I call my niche as difital marketing? If so what should be my keyword reaearch evolving around?
That's a question only you can answer. It depends on what you're selling and what kind of topics you can write about that'll get people to (eventually) buy your product/service. - SQ
Hello Sam! Thanks for this great video! I have a question - I don't have this "all keyword ideas" option on my Ahrefs, What do I do? Thanks in advance All the best from Serbia
Thank you Sam for your deep explaining I love your tutorials so much... I start a blog around 3 months ago .. some articles are already indexed by google.. just I want to ask you, I’m writing now about 2 topics and can I write about more topics or should i stick only to 2 or 3 topics ?
In my opinion, you'd need a tool of some sort. Otherwise, you wouldn't know what has search demand, how hard it would be to rank in the top 3/10, etc. So you'd effectively be guessing otherwise. If you're just starting out, you can try some free tools, which obviously come with their limitations, but they should be good enough to get you started :)
this issue I'm having is, as a new site, all the long-tail keywords I wish to rank for are either too competitive or they don't recieve enough monthly searches, what do I do? I feel like the field I'm trying to enter is just too dam competitive (it's betting/gambling in uk) I thought maybe skyscraper content might help? what about link building? is there another way other than keywords that would allow me to "get one over" on the other sites? if not it seems really unfair for new sites starting out.
video is very nice, but i am beginer so for me its fast and could not get benefir more,could you explain step wise for make new website to get ranking.thanks
Hi, do the total number of articles on a site affect the ranking? For example, can a single-page site or a site with a few pages get in the top of google results for a keyword, if for example receives many backlinks? Are there statistics about this? Thanks Ahrefs
Alessandro, I would not expect a one page website to rank high. One page would not give a clear understanding of your website's topic, you will be still missing internal links too. Personally, I do not think one page website will make it to the top, but I do not have any case studies to give you a clear answer. - Max
KD shows 0 but the SERP list websites with DR above 70 or 80 for keyword "prestige electric kettle" (for example) , How is it easy to rank on this keyword? It looks like KD is of now use
Is there a tool to generate meta description as not sure how to write it. I am not refering to methods how to write it . much helpful as english is not good.
Link Bait content is what attracts people to link to it naturally. All you need is a simple promotion such as newsletter, social media share, etc. Another question is how to create Link Bait content, that will be valuable within your niche🤔 - Max

Thanks, man... Very helpful. But I have a question, what is better for a new website, writing 3-4 blogs in a week with lesser researched information with SEO or 1-2 blogs with good and long researched content with SEO??... will be waiting for your reply.
Hi Sam, you try to say useful information but at the end it is just unclear, i do not understand what should i do after discovered parent topic has high KD while child topic is low KD, so then what should i do ?
Lets say you have 10 low competition keywords and Ahrefs shows you the same parent topic for these. Even though competition is higher for the parent topic itself, we inform you that you will still be able to rank for these 10 low KD keywords while targeting parent topic. In other words, we try to give a more broad topical keyword for you to cover a bigger piece of information, while still targeting low competitive keywords that you aim for. Hope that explains a bit. - Max
Hello! I am new here. I am trying ahrefs, but in the keyword explorer I can't see the "All keywords ideas" link in the left panel. The first link I can see is phrase match. How can I see all the keywords ideas? Thank you.
Very useful! If you use a high KD (eg. 70) to determine the parent topics, wouldn't this be backfired? This is a new website, and it's probably harder to create a pillar topic with such high competition.
Thanks for reply, Max. But I thought we're creating a pillar article to attract links using the parent topic? How come you're suggesting to target low competitive KWs around this topic?
I am a bit lost now. What do you refer to? Researching parent topics can show you some other potential ideas with low competition. You will be able to see what are other possible keywords that websites rank for while targeting a parent topic. - Max
Great content thank you. Going a bit too fast for me but not complaining, shows there's a lot to learn... On a slightly off topic can you share which tool you are using for those beautiful slides?
Hi Sam, just started or more like came across your videos on Ahref a few days ago, now been watching them a lot here on UA-cam. And like your videos, really good s__t. Honest straightforward stuff. Wish I had come across you when I began trying to learn, but oh well live and learn is what I always say. Just want to thank you for some real s__t and of course the company you did this for, much appreciated. Hey, a question I'll look and search if you ever made a video on the technical aspects, for, affiliate marketing.??? If so, I would appreciate it if you can point me to it? And would be a good one to consider making a video on. That was the hardest for me to put it all together. I am Technically challenged, man even today!!. lol Although just understanding and deciding where I will actually begin concentrating, learning, and putting most all my efforts on. (Blogging) good thing I like writing. Anyway, like your videos very informative real stuff that seriously helps from beginners to 20-year veterans. The tool of course expensive, I believe worth its weight in gold and diamonds! lol Much appreciated.
Hey this is very helpful. I don't know if you will answer comments on this video at this point but, do you have any tips for keyword research for a local business or local websites directoy? Thank you!
I assume you refer to having a keyword as a part of URL. If yes, this will influence your CTR in SERP, but would not help your rankings. Meta title and description is very important, you definitely want to have these. Check our onpage SEO video for more info - ua-cam.com/video/ZWiNz-7gZ24/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video, may I know if you have any suggested number of search volume for each keyword for a new website ? I am trying to set my 300 products title for each page.
i remember that in one or more of your blog posts and other videos about keyword research, you said that for analyzing the ranking difficulty we should pay attention to 1-RD 2-UR 3-DR, but you didn't mention UR in this video,Why? google's alghoritm tries to judge and rank the results at the page level, ain't that right? and i think all factors equal a high authority page from a weak domain can outrank a weaker page from a powerfull domain.
Yes! UR is affected by both internal and external backlinks (although weighted differently). This would also mean that RD would affect this metric. This was more of a "keyword research for beginners" type of video. Keep on doing what you're doing :)
Using Edwinconsult __ on Instagram is the easiest way to improve your SEO I’d say, I ran up on all sales before weeks after we spoke, ranked top spot on all google search in no time...

KD shows 0 but the SERP list websites with DR above 70 or 80 for keyword "prestige electric kettle" (for example) , How is it easy to rank on this keyword? It looks like KD is of now use

Is there a tool to generate meta description as not sure how to write it. I am not refering to methods how to write it . much helpful as english is not good.
Do not have any idea about such tools. I think meta description needs to be created manually to meet the actual idea of the page's content

Can u explain about Link Bait How you are going to get backlinks from it.
Link Bait content is what attracts people to link to it naturally. All you need is a simple promotion such as newsletter, social media share, etc.
Another question is how to create Link Bait content, that will be valuable within your niche🤔

Great video man!!!!
Thanks!
Very helpful information. Thanks a lot. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
You're welcome!
Thanks, man... Very helpful. But I have a question, what is better for a new website, writing 3-4 blogs in a week with lesser researched information with SEO or 1-2 blogs with good and long researched content with SEO??... will be waiting for your reply.
You want to have useful or interesting content. The publish speed depends on your resources. We publish not more than 1-2 posts a week.

For example my main keyword is best women's workout shoes. How can I get primary keywords
Not sure what you mean exactly?

all keyword idea is nowhere to be found on the latest version of ahrefs, will you make an updated tutorial on this?
We've removed the All keyword ideas report but the tactics recommended here work for any of our reports.

Hi Sam, you try to say useful information but at the end it is just unclear, i do not understand what should i do after discovered parent topic has high KD while child topic is low KD, so then what should i do ?
Lets say you have 10 low competition keywords and Ahrefs shows you the same parent topic for these. Even though competition is higher for the parent topic itself, we inform you that you will still be able to rank for these 10 low KD keywords while targeting parent topic. In other words, we try to give a more broad topical keyword for you to cover a bigger piece of information, while still targeting low competitive keywords that you aim for. Hope that explains a bit.

Where is the link for "google correlate"?
Hello! I am new here. I am trying ahrefs, but in the keyword explorer I can't see the "All keywords ideas" link in the left panel. The first link I can see is phrase match. How can I see all the keywords ideas? Thank you.
This video was published a while ago, and we've since removed the "All" keyword ideas report.
- SQ
Very useful! If you use a high KD (eg. 70) to determine the parent topics, wouldn't this be backfired? This is a new website, and it's probably harder to create a pillar topic with such high competition.
You will target low competitive keywords around this topic, where you should be still able to rank
- Max
Thanks for reply, Max. But I thought we're creating a pillar article to attract links using the parent topic? How come you're suggesting to target low competitive KWs around this topic?
I am a bit lost now. What do you refer to? Researching parent topics can show you some other potential ideas with low competition. You will be able to see what are other possible keywords that websites rank for while targeting a parent topic.
- Max
Great content thank you. Going a bit too fast for me but not complaining, shows there's a lot to learn...
On a slightly off topic can you share which tool you are using for those beautiful slides?
These are created manually by our video producer using Adobe After Effects.

thanks so much for those keyword tips...alot to learn.
Glad it was helpful!
The DR way to analyze competition is great!
Thank you!
Hi Sam, just started or more like came across your videos on Ahref a few days ago, now been watching them a lot here on UA-cam. And like your videos, really good s__t. Honest straightforward stuff. Wish I had come across you when I began trying to learn, but oh well live and learn is what I always say. Just want to thank you for some real s__t and of course the company you did this for, much appreciated. Hey, a question I'll look and search if you ever made a video on the technical aspects, for, affiliate marketing.??? If so, I would appreciate it if you can point me to it? And would be a good one to consider making a video on. That was the hardest for me to put it all together. I am Technically challenged, man even today!!. lol Although just understanding and deciding where I will actually begin concentrating, learning, and putting most all my efforts on. (Blogging) good thing I like writing. Anyway, like your videos very informative real stuff that seriously helps from beginners to 20-year veterans. The tool of course expensive, I believe worth its weight in gold and diamonds! lol Much appreciated.
What do you mean by "technical aspects of affiliate marketing"?
- SQ
Hey this is very helpful. I don't know if you will answer comments on this video at this point but, do you have any tips for keyword research for a local business or local websites directoy?
Thank you!

A question if we have keyword as url and didnt have meta title and meta desc will that give us traffic and noticed by users.
I assume you refer to having a keyword as a part of URL. If yes, this will influence your CTR in SERP, but would not help your rankings. Meta title and description is very important, you definitely want to have these. Check our onpage SEO video for more info - ua-cam.com/video/ZWiNz-7gZ24/v-deo.html
Hey @Sam! Thanks for your awesome videos! What do you actually do when a keyword with low KD has a parent topic that has high KD?

Thanks for the video, may I know if you have any suggested number of search volume for each keyword for a new website ? I am trying to set my 300 products title for each page.
You want to look for the highest search volume with the lowest competition

SIR, COULD YOU TELL US ABOUT - SILO STRUCTURE, AND HOW TO MAKE IT & HOW TO USE IT?
Use it only if you have 100k words content. If not no use
@@arcanegamer1397 I have a Web site with 40 posts nd 400 daily traffic. . Can I apply silo structure on it.. before create new posts.
@@waseemsaifi5580 yes. But won't have any effect until 100k words on site. 1M words on site, you can slaughter competition
@@arcanegamer1397 got it sir.
Sir .. could u help me to understand silo structure clearly. . I still have so many doubts about it
i remember that in one or more of your blog posts and other videos about keyword research, you said that for analyzing the ranking difficulty we should pay attention to 1-RD 2-UR 3-DR, but you didn't mention UR in this video,Why? google's alghoritm tries to judge and rank the results at the page level, ain't that right? and i think all factors equal a high authority page from a weak domain can outrank a weaker page from a powerfull domain.
Yes! UR is affected by both internal and external backlinks (although weighted differently). This would also mean that RD would affect this metric. This was more of a "keyword research for beginners" type of video. Keep on doing what you're doing :)
@@AhrefsCom Thank you,you're the best.
Thank you😇
I love your calmness on your face and voice🤟🤟
Thanks!
Which keyword tool would you recommend if I wanted to make a research in other languages? Like one which is not used widely: like LITHUANIAN
Ahrefs Keyword Explorer has 422K keywords in our index for Lithuania. I think you should at least try a 7 day trial with us ;)

Using Edwinconsult __ on Instagram is the easiest way to improve your SEO I’d say, I ran up on all sales before weeks after we spoke, ranked top spot on all google search in no time...
i want to know if ahrefs website easily any other topic like health care article is publish and get same traffic like related to seo content or not ??
and what is relation of website name and SEO TITLE name and it is related good for traffic or no relation.?? means what is relation of content of website and website name and how it is beneficial for ranking and traffic.??
please reply
There are lots of ranking factors. I would say title and website name influence CTR more than rankings.
