How Semrush Backlinks Database Works

[sharminsumu86]

About a year and a half ago, we set a goal.

This goal was to build the biggest, fastest and best backlink database for our clients and to be better than the main competitors in the market.

Now that we've reached our goal, we can't wait for you to try it out for yourself!

Want to know how exactly we were able to build such a database?

All it took was approximately 16,722 cups of coffee paired with over 500 servers and 30,000 hours of work from our engineers and data scientists.

Sounds simple, right?

You just have to check out this blog post to see how much faster we are now.

Let’s talk about what’s new first, and then we’ll show you senegal telegram number database how we introduced them and what problems we solved. With increased storage space and three times more crawlers, our backlink database now has the capacity to find, index, and grow even more. On average, we now crawl:

Before we get into the details of what has been improved, let's review the basics of how our backlink database works.

First, we generate a queue of URLs that decides which pages will be crawled.

Then our crawlers go out onto the Internet and inspect these pages. Once our crawlers identify hyperlinks that point from these pages to another page on the Internet, they record that information.

Then there is temporary storage that keeps all this data for a while before dumping it into the public storage that any Semrush user can see within the tool.

With our new release, we've virtually removed the temporary storage step, added three times more crawlers, and added a set of filters before the queue, so the whole process is much faster and more efficient.
