The guys from SemRush keyword research tool are the same creators of SEOquake FireFox extension and SEOdigger tool which I used many times. They have 4 packages to offer: Free (with limit results), Light (Organic only), Pro (+AdWords) and Enterprise. So if you want to test them for free, go ahead but I will recommend to wait because there is a special offer for my readers.

The sign up process is very easy, after you have your account setup they will provide some videos so they can guide you how to use their system. I will start looking at the first screenshots that they offer:



As you can see here are the top 9 domains that Google shows must (organic) and the top 9 domains that most use adwords (I thought that ebay was the first Google customer). Let’s start playing with this sweet tool, I will not mention which website I did the test but I used one of our biggest websites to see how true are the data that they display:
