That's why we decided to take a look at the RSS feeds of big websites.
RSS feeds from news publications represent high traffic sites that would generate new content and immediately garner backlinks
RSS feeds provide a date and time stamp , which allowed us to track exactly how much time elapsed between when a new page was published and when a new backlink to that page was seen in each tool.
First, we took about 20,000 URLs from RSS feeds of various news outlets around the world.
Next, we measured how quickly Semrush discovered links to their new content compared to other data providers.
We then measured the median time it took each tool to senegal telegram number database check and discover a new backlink.
To do this, we followed these steps:
We have identified the RSS feeds of the most popular media on the web
For about a month we collected all the URLs from these feeds until we had collected 20,000 URLs
For each URL, we calculated the difference between the time the URL was published according to the RSS feed and the time Semrush first saw that URL
We repeated the above process for Ahrefs, Moz, and Majestic
Any URLs that have not been seen by any of the SEO tools within 30 days of the publication date have been discarded for each vendor mentioned above.
