Beginner needs help finding popular blog articles

Hi everyone,

I’m just starting to learn about SEO and have a question. I’m trying to figure out which articles on a specific blog (not my own) are getting the most clicks and which ones aren’t. I’ve been using Semrush, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I hope you are looking for some sort of this to help with your research:

No, this isn’t what I’m looking for. I want to find out which articles people are most interested in on a specific blog so I can focus on those topics. Not sure if this is even possible.

In general, ‘How To’ guides, product reviews, and comparison articles like ‘A vs B’ tend to engage readers the most.

Hey there! You can use a few tools in Semrush to figure this out:

  • Traffic Analytics: Enter the blog’s URL and look under ‘Top Pages’ to see which ones are most visited.
  • Organic Research: Use the domain, go to the ‘Pages’ report, and sort them by traffic.
  • Backlink Analytics: Check ‘Indexed Pages’ to find pages with the most backlinks, as these are often popular.

Feel free to DM me if you need more help. Cheers! - Sasha
