Jesus, #SEMRush is a terrible #seo tool and #company.
They charge you for every single individual feature and make it difficult to unsubscrib.
Then when you do unsub they just disabled access and fuck off with your remaining time with that feature, I paid for 30 days give me the full 30 days.
Please someone suggest alternatives.
If you used neither #Semrush nor #Google then you wouldn’t fall for this scam. (I’m personally at a loss as to why anyone would use Semrush, based on my #disinformation experiences of 2024.)

Definitely getting rid of that #Semrush-inspired #disinformation about me. Not as many items left, and the only noticeable one that persists with disinformation is a company called Nexorank, who can’t help but trade off my reputation—since they don’t have any capability or nous themselves. Good thing is their lies stand out like a sore thumb amongst the pieces that are left. Their hosts are complicit in the fraud.
I don’t have this #Google “#AI” thing but for those who do, this was interesting … For once, it’s in my favour (unlike the whole #Semrush-user #disinformation saga). I’m told that the previous search was more explicit about recommending #Autocade Year of Cars 2025, but my friend couldn’t replicate it.
@MaryAustinBooks Thank you! I imagine most of these people are #Semrush users—there seems to be a big intersection between disinformation spreaders and Semrush use!

Twenty twenty-four, the year of “AI slop”

The sad thing for me personally online in 2024 was that “AI” #disinformation outnumbered any new legit stuff (e.g. press interviews) written about me. All thanks to a program I had never heard of before: #Semrush. It showed how fake the #SEO world is, how amoral many of its practitioners are, and how a small group of web hosts are too cowardly to enforce their own terms and policies. The positives are the good web hosts, who have helped take down dozens of these pages, but it has taken all year.
Thanks to Tier.net, two more #disinformation pages at techzein.com have been removed. As usual, the disinformation merchants, usually in the #SEO business, ignored me even though they are wrongly trading off my name. They know they are lying. But right and wrong do not come into it for SEO. The threat of losing their account does. It’s annoying that they are this crooked (and gullible, believing anything #Semrush tells them), but that’s probably to be expected.
@preferred No, they write smack about me. That was my comment on a site that wrote BS about me. They usually say stuff like I work in SEO, and there are algorithms or updates that I developed and are named for me. All of it comes from #Semrush and its BS tools, but people working in SEO are desperate to believe anything, so they concoct stories to prostrate the software, thinking that Google will reward them. (It’s what they’ve been told, like a cult.)
@hollyjahangiri Probably, but which AI is doing this? I’ve had to put up with a minimum of one a day till early October. They are still coming up. I wonder if #Semrush has an LLM generating this junk for its users.
This #disinformation merchant got very specific about my personal details—though everything else in the post is false. They really have no ethics, happy to drag in a person’s reputation to keyword-stuff based on botched predictions by #Semrush.
Another success in the fight against #disinformation. This site removed their page, but only after their host contacted them. They could have saved themselves the hassle if they did the right thing when I contacted them. And yes, itʼs another gullible “#SEO” company believing that #Semrush is a god, when they have shown themselves to be wrong time and time again.
There are new #disinformation posts about me. Time to take them down. #Semrush and these #SEO people never learn, do they?
This #disinformation splogger had their account suspended but thought they would pull the same trick by posting the same drivel under a new URL. Oh dear, website gone again.
Use #Semrush, post disinformation, lose your website. This could so easily have been avoided—twice! Big thanks to #Hostinger again for taking this seriously.
Tried to give this schmuck a chance to do the right thing. Oh well, if he wants to look stupid for being one of the few sites left with disinformation, showing the world he was fooled by #Semrush, then so be it … though it’s time to go to his host.
Sobering reading these #Semrush reviews on Trustpilot. You have to conclude from these customers that the dobbers are completely untrustworthy.
Interesting to see this company dump #Semrush, although it was because of its origins.
