April Fool\u2019s is a day when the internet is full of gimmicks and announcements made by brands to let people know that they do have a sense of humour.<\/p>\n

In the SEO community too, we see such tricks and treats. This week we came to know about Ahref\u2019s announcement to compete with Google Search. First, we took as yet-another April Fool\u2019s prank but when it was too much detailed to be a prank.<\/p>\n

Ahrefs Plans To Take Google By Horn With Its Own Search Engine<\/strong><\/p>\n

On March 27th, the CEO of Ahref, Dmitry Gerasimenako announced on his Twitter account that his company is working on a search engine to compete with Google. Although he knows it sounds crazy, he justified his action with these two reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. DuckDuckGo is already doing it and working on the same principle he wants a search engine that respects privacy and does not use private data of users to benefit from it.<\/li>\n
  2. To share 90% of the profits made by them from the search engine with the publishers, whose content will be indexed and showed in the result.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We really appreciate Gerasimenako\u2019s move to and do think they might have the potential. The company already uses a lot of tech to crawl the web, discover links, index content and evaluate links for their Ahref SEO tool.<\/p>\n

    \n

    First one is obviously privacy and it was discussed so much that I will switch to the second one – profit share.
    Google is making $100B from its search service. Imagine they suddenly implement 90\/10 profit share model sending $90B per year to publishers who create content.<\/p>\n
