SEO Digger is Dead

    One of my favorite SEO tools is dead - SEO Digger.

    They try to guide you to their new tool - SEM Rush, but that tool is a bit different and it looks like their database (as per the bottom right corner of the site) was last updated 10/22/08. I was interested in the service, but the telephone number appears to only go to someone's cell phone with a generic message (nothing about the company) - kinda strange/low budget. I wish them luck, but am sad to lose SEo Digger...:-(

    I went to SEO Digger this morning to pull some quick numbers and got the bad news.

    Is there anything else like this out there? I know it wasn't perfect but it was good for a quick reference.

    Have not found one yet and I am not really fond of the replacement (SEM Rush) they send us to as it is not a replacement (and the data appears out of date anyway - what a shame).

    SEM rush is a poor replacement without payment did anyone ever find a good substitute?

    You are correct about SEM Rush - there data still has not been updated since October 22, 2008 and it does not provide the same information.

    MRengineer I totally understand the need to monitorise functions on your websites but was it really needed to completely take SEO digger down :( I would even be happy if you limited it to 5 queries a day or something to ease traffic but I really can't afford a full SEMRush subscription, I'm sure the full version is good judging on your other tools but times are tight, especially in Britain!

    Diablos, sorry, but SEODigger is closed and we do not plan to re-open it. I really suggest you trying SEMRush - it is highly possible that it will fit your needs.

    webtwist-design.com, if you have any questions, you may address us at

    SEO Digger was such a great tool and it is a shame that it is dead as SEM RUSH is NO solution, it is a completely different offering. I am not sure why they think that people who used SEO Digger would want to use SEM RUSH (for free or paid)? Very weird feedback from MRengineer.


    You are correct. I run about 60 paid search campaigns (some very large spending in the millions for paid ads) and I have to tell you that SEM RUSH data is WAY off on basically every campaign, so why would anyone pay for this data? Also, if you only update your database once every three months what value is that? I don't see the value, but maybe I am just being to dense, I wish them luck.

    Really, we update the database once in two months, but we are eager to make it at least once a month or once in a two week, but this will take time and patience, as the volumes of data are very huge and it is technically very difficult to update it that often.

    Could you please tell us what exactly don't you like about data, presented by SEMRush? what were you searching for and where did you get wrong information? Please, give us the most detailed answer as possible, as this will help us to make the service better.

    It is such a weird site, I cannot figure out what they are trying to do as it does not appear to work at all.

    SeoDigger have been closed for more than half a year already, as it was the beta version of our new service, SEMRush, which offers approximately the same opportunities.

    The main difference is that SEMRush gives you much more information (CPC, search volume, trends etc.) on each keyword or domain and opportunities to analyze the given information. Also we've got new function - related keywords service.

    You will find it here:

    It may not be spidering your keywords yet. Looks like the site just came online a few days ago so keyword database is still small, but you can add your own. So if you are in a niche other than SEO you may have to add some keywords yourself.

    I added my 20 top keywords and it found me and all of my competitors.

    I tried to use semrush, but the database is horribly out of date. The sites I put up in the last 3 months are nowhere to be found and they progress I've made on my older sites doesnt show. sorry, but while semrush has some great features it just isnt as useful to me. I'm glad seo digger is back.
