I’m working with an individual accountant and she wants to conduct market research – we are looking to survey around 5 US ecommerce business owners about their accounting. We are offering a $25 gift certificate. I know I can’t post it on reddit, but was wondering if anyone knows of good places I could advertise the survey link? Thanks!

Tell me which travel sites/airlines you anticipate will have the best Boxing Day sales! Traveling from North America. I have never booked anything on Boxing Day before….When do the deals usually start? Are the prices actually marked down enough to make scrambling around on Boxing Day worth it? I am currently interested in booking a trip to the Caribbean in February but any tips are welcome, as they may be helpful to others as well! 🙂

Our renewal is up soon, and I’ve noticed they took away a few tools that we had when we signed up (namely competitor analysis information), and now looped that into a new tool that costs more than the base subscription itself (seriously, you wanna charge me $2500 for the base tool, then $3500 on top of that for something that was in there originally?)

My gut is “no, don’t spend $10k/year on the tool” so I’m looking for good alternatives that will let me:

\- Track keyword positions
\- Get some info on which keywords are showing in AI Overview (and essentially any AI data as my director is really trying to dig into that)
\- Gives me information on keyword volume
\- Gives me some insight into what my competitors are ranking for
\- Related keywords based on my core keyword search

I don’t really trust their paid data, as the CPC info is just a guess for the most part.

I have heard good things about ahrefs, but they don’t have a demo, and I’m not sure how they compare to SEMRush.

However, if I’m wrong, I’ll eat crow and try to convince my director to pay up.
