About this course
You can also analyze your competitors and steal their keywords with your Ahrefs trial.
Enter a competitor’s domain into Site Explorer, then go to Organic Search > Top Pages
Here you will see which of your competitor's pages are attracting the most organic search traffic.
You’ll also see the top keyword that page ranks for, along with the search volume for that keyword.
This report also shows you all of the other keywords these pages rank for (in order of the amount of traffic they drive to your competitors page).
You can export these keywords and repeat the process for more competitors.
Content gaps exist when your competitors rank for keywords that you don’t rank for.
Here’s how to find those keywords with Ahrefs:
Enter your domain into Site Explorer, then go to Organic Search > Content Gap
Now, enter the domains of (at least) three competitors plus your domain in the “but the following target doesn’t rank for” field.
There are hundreds of keywords that (at least) one of your competitors rank for, yet you don’t.
Tip: Enter competitors with a similar Domain Rating (DR) score. This will ensure that the Content Gap analysis kicks back keywords you stand a chance of ranking for. If you enter Moz.com as a competitor and you have a DR 40 site, the sad truth is that you’re probably never going to outrank Moz.
I recommend paying particular attention to any keywords where your competitors are ranking in the top 10.
Why?
Because if they’re ranking in the top 10, chances are you could, too!

Instead of creating multiple random blog posts, follow the strategy of less articles grouped into a content cluster. You will show to Google that you are an authority and get better rankings.
The key to website traffic is long-tail keywords that have low competition.
It’s important to know that competition scores should only be used as a filter to find possible keywords.
You probably think Ahrefs is an expensive tool. And you are right. But Ahrefs has a 7-day $7 trial.
You can also analyze your competitors and steal their keywords with your Ahrefs trial.
Now let's do keyword research that will provide content ideas for the next two years.
One web page can rank for multiple keywords. So why don’t we focus on optimizing content to target dozens of similar and related keywords?
