How Ahrefs Gets 500,000 Monthly Visitors From Its Free Tools

Ahrefs has 14 free tools. The tools align with the platform’s different product offerings. For example, a free backlink checker.

These 14 tools generate more than 500,000+ monthly visitors to the site.

Take the relatively recently released site traffic checker as an example.

Traffic has gone from a steady 1,100 or so visitors a month up to November 2022, to over 30,000 visitors a month in March 2023.
