Update is live. The same request should not happen during the same session (while browser tab is open)

It was like 30 secs the back-n-forth The same happened when the tab was left opened for a long time and chrome auto-refreshed it or something to that effect. Again, it was counted as new search. This doesn’t seem like a good use of resources or how one would expect to spend « credits » It’s like being charged for a page view

How does the keyword data in telescope compare to the data in Ahrefs? (monthly global volume, keyword difficulty, etc)?
kulhavy · a year ago
It's extremely close to real data just like in Ahrefs

your pricing for kw tracking seems nonsensical to me.

eg i have a site where pages rank for 1,000+ keywords it has many pages like this..

tracking for just this ONE SITE would still cost me hundreds of dollars with your plan.

add more sites, and we are paying thousands of bucks. seems like we should just roll our own serp scrapers + use proxies when pricing is out of hand like this ...

[an ex ahrefs user. ditched it after ~ 4.5 years fwiw]

I'm not sure you got the idea. You wan't be charged for "tracking", but will be for getting keywords your site ranks for. So one page (50) of keywords your site ranks for would cost around $0.05. You can do it twice a week, resulting in 8 requests/month, $0.4 total bill.

Seems nice but going from a keyword search to my account and back, there was another charge on the credit as if a new search was done. This was I fear the charges will rise up with very minimal use.

Double checked, your search is cached for 5 minutes (that's the timeframe when new request would not happen)

I'm not someone who has ever worked with SEO but I'd like to use this tool for other research purposes. Can you make a guide for someone who's entirely new to SEO but is experienced in the field of web and CS.

The guide could cover jargon and how the tool can be used to get started, it would really offer me a huge reason to start using this. Right now all I know is I need to have SEO incorporated into my website but I have no idea how.

I think the best place to learn is Afrefs Academy

Where do you get volume and CPC data? keyword planner API?
kulhavy · a year ago
It does come from multiple tools inside Google Ads

agreed on this, caching would be very nice. i don't care if results are even a week+ out of date
kulhavy · a year ago
It makes sense, I agree. We'll try to adjust this
