Research top content

Content Explorer is a great content research tool for copywriters and content marketers. Put any keyword (or website) into this tool and you'll get a list of the most popular articles based on their "performance metrics":

• Social shares — Collected from Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.

• Organic search traffic — Shows how many visits a given article is generating from search each month.

• Referring domains — Shows how many unique websites are linking to that article.

Use filters and sorting to find the information you need

Content Explorer has over 2 billion articles in its index, and new ones are added every single day. So for every keyword you enter, you’ll get many thousands of articles.

To easily sift through that list, we give you a number of handy filters. You can filter the results by:

• Language

• Social shares

• Domain Rating

• Backlinks

• Traffic

• Word count

You can also sort your list by any of these metrics.

Discover great link opportunities

Enter any topic in Content Explorer and use the “Highlight unlinked domains” feature to see which domains have never linked to your site.
