2021-08-14T00:14:00.004-07:00

Dear all,

This March we became a public company, and each quarter we report publicly on our performance. We have just finished our Q2 earnings call, and I’d love to share our news with the entire Semrush community.

I won’t bore you with our financials too much but will highlight our main point: we achieved $188 million ARR as of June 30, 2021, and it is 57% year over year growth. This is very exciting! You can find more numbers here.

I want to touch a little bit more on our main product highlights:

New Keyword Difficulty

We updated the keyword difficulty metric in May, and the formula is publicly available. This metric is crucial for both entry-level marketers and seasoned SEO professionals. Keywords are not only about relevance and volume but also competition, or how difficult it is to rank for them. Find easier opportunities with less competition.

Largest [and free] backlink database

Our goal was to create the best backlink tool, which meant being the fastest at reporting new links, and holding the largest database. After a year and a half of dedicated focus, 30,000 expert engineering and data scientist hours, adding over 500 new servers, and setting up 14,000 TBs of storage, we’ve achieved both. We made it free, available to everyone for a limited time.

App Center

We continue to pursue our mission of delivering all necessary marketing tools in one platform. The next step on this mission is our Semrush App Center – a marketplace with hand-picked marketing solutions. Currently, there are 8 apps available to help Semrush users with solutions ranging from mobile app insights to Semrush Local solutions. Reach out to our App Center product team if you know of any apps we should add or have one of your own you feel would benefit our audience!

Always be testing

I am a strong believer in A/B testing, and we have implemented it across the company, from product teams to HR and office maintenance. In SEO, experiments are vital. A quarter or two ago, we released SplitSignal, a tool that helps understand what SEO changes have caused traffic increases through split testing. I want to mention it now because we see great results from our customers who use it. Testing is a must for big websites and valuable for any site with over 1,000 unique visitors coming from search.

We released over 30 product updates in Q2. As usual, most of our improvements come from our conversations with customers. Please always share your feedback and ideas with us if you have any thoughts on what we should develop next.

Thank you for being a part of our community.

Talk soon,

What is the court declares itself incompetent

2016-06-16T12:10:00.002-07:00

Incidents of competence.

- We need a systematic challenge to jurisdiction is not an obstacle.
- 3 types of challenge: total incompetence (lack of jurisdiction) Exception connectivity,
The competency check.

- The court declares itself incompetent.
- Ability to appeal against this decision. At 58, creating the resort called the "contradiction". We can be 'contradicted' either call.

The difference lies in whether the trial judge decided the issue of jurisdiction without deciding the merits, or if it is expressed in the background. If it is decided that the competence, the remedy is the Contradicts, but he also spoke on the bottom, then it will appeal.

The District Court.

- Vocation to deal with small claims, single judge.
- Article L141-4 of the Code of Judicial Organization. Judge of the competent District Court in all matters of a value up to 10k euros. Up to 4k euros last spring, and appeal to 10k euros.

The proximity court.

- Created by Law 9 September 2002 amended in 2005. Mal perceived by the judiciary because judges are volunteers. The local court has primary jurisdiction of last resort for personal or household dispute until 4k euros, subject to appeal to the indeterminate requests that originate from an obligation and the amount of <4k euros.

Different branches of Business Law and Corporate Law

2016-06-15T11:20:00.001-07:00

Business law and other branches (Corporate - - commercial law - competition law, companies in difficulty, payment instrument and credit ...)

Business law is a branch of private law which includes a set of rights relating to corporate affairs such as contract law, intellectual property, corporate law, procedure, tax law, criminal law, commercial law, economic law, competition law, the distribution law, labor law, law of consumption, etc.

Business law regulates the activity of merchants and industrialists in the exercise of their professional activity, in short, it relates to corporate life.

Corporate law is the branch of private law who studies civil and commercial companies. The rules of corporate law provide all necessary provisions for the creation, operation as well as the eventual liquidation of the company. Also, this area of law is concerned with relations between the various stakeholders of the company shareholders, officers and directors in particular, as well as relationships the company has with third parties.

Commercial law can be defined as the branch of law responsible for the regulation of relations related to people, actions, places and commercial contracts. This right means all the traders to standards in the exercise of their profession. At the general level, it is necessary to say that this is the branch of law that regulates the exercise of commercial activity.

The Competition Law is therefore to maintain effective competition on the market. From the above, we can suggest that the Competition Law has two distinct branches:

- The first includes the rules that are intended to maintain competition in bounds, to ensure it occurs in a fair, reasonable, temperate. From this angle, the Competition Law considers competition as an acquired data and is concerned to limit excesses.

- The second part comprises the rules designed to protect competition and foster development. These rules not condemn excesses, but the restrictions of competition resulting from certain behavior of businesses, called anti competitive practices.
Law firms in difficulty or insolvency law is not the law of the "bankruptcy" of traders, it is a right to today's difficulties all commercial, craft, agricultural and liberal all independent professionals.

The law firms in difficulty responds to a philosophy that has evolved from the original concept of the bankruptcy law, which responded to an elimination logic. The bankruptcy law was marked by a desire to spread the defaulter with company assets allocation procedure between creditors. Now, this right 3 objectives:

Prevention of business difficulties by various mechanisms with varying degrees of success
The treatment of the difficulty itself (Guyon "the insolvency law is a pathological law, a right to failure")
The sanction of the entrepreneur who has financial difficulties in fraud, incompetence or dishonesty

Payment instruments and credit are the means of implementation of an obligation to pay money and specific operations financing. They are, therefore, the frontispiece of contract law, commercial law, banking law and strict sense of the financial law in the broad sense.

The branches of Private Law

2016-05-25T12:33:00.003-07:00

Civil Law of Importance

A. The branches of Private Law

Each branch of private law that separates, gives birth to a new branch. Trade Law leaves the Civil Law but broke out in company law, banking law, corporate law and difficulties right shops.

Through this phenomenon appeared new branches by specialization of education, the proliferation of codes (insurance law, construction law, computer law).

Some authors speak of an artificial specialization. Do not believe that a branch of private law is justified by the mere fact of an application of common law for purpose. So for insurance law, the idea that we apply the common law of insurance contracts. The insurance contract seen as a particular branch of law with the insurance law is conceivable only if the law in question is autonomous (it follows from the principle and distinct concept of common law).

In this way we can recognize several branches:

The criminal law is to ensure the punishment of offenses. It appears to be the sanctionateur right of all rights. It holds a special place. civil procedure called private judicial law is nothing other than the litigation aspect of private law.

Private international law regulates private individuals when the report contains a foreign element. This law is very specific, it combines the conflict rules that determine the applicable rule and the substantive rules that give a solution when the substantive law. This right is important in a world where the economy is globalized.

Commercial law relates to traders, their business and commercial acts performed by any person. This right may claim an old self (the mercatorium juice). Its origin is medieval.

Labour law applies to individual and collective labor relations between employer and employee. Its autonomy is the most recent. At the time this law was not built on principles and concepts, the civil law (common law private law) which applied in terms of nullity of contracts or termination with its consequences .

Environment and Civil Protection, the law of equality and local government

2016-05-06T12:46:00.001-07:00

Environment and Civil Protection

In addition, the Constitution has admitted another appeal, this time presented by the Government, against several articles of the Law on the National Civil Protection System approved by the Government of Mariano Rajoy in 2015. The court has given guarantees within fifteen days to appear in person in the proceedings or make submissions.

The appeal was filed on April 5 claiming the Government that this rule limiting the exercise of powers and the powers granted to the Government. It also argued that contained "a large number of concretions" and "generic concepts" that did not allow narrow those issues addressed in the law.

The government defended the adoption of the Law on the National Civil Protection System "adapt to the new demands of Spanish society and to new types of emergencies and disasters", updating the previous standard of 1985.

Finally, the Plenum of the Constitutional Court has admitted the positive conflict of competence promoted by the Government of Catalonia against the allocation of executive functions to state bodies established in several precepts and Annex II of Royal Decree 1007/2015, of 6 November, the acquisition by the carbon Fund for a Sustainable Economy, carbon credits Plan to Promote environment in the sector of the company "PIMA company" for reducing greenhouse gases is regulated your installations.

In the latter two cases, the TC agreed to transfer the application to the Government of the Nation, which will have a deadline to provide the documents and arguments deems appropriate.

The judge investigating the fraud Castellon employers the complexity of the case

2016-05-01T03:01:00.000-07:00

The Court of First Instance and Instruction 1 of Nules said the complexity of the case filed against the heads of the Confederation of Employers of Castellón (CEC) for alleged irregularities in the management of subsidies for training schemes granted to organizations business.

The judge considers the request of the prosecutor, declares the complex nature of the investigation of this case that continues from July 2015 against several individuals and legal entities for an alleged crime against the Treasury in the form of subsidy fraud and other crime continued of forgery, and extends the deadline to investigate six to eighteen months.

The judge considers that "the vast amount of investigation" and the need to submit the analysis of the experts the extensive documentation gathered justifies the declaration of complexity of this procedure in which, moreover, are still pending practiced investigative "essential" to complete the instruction.

In addition to the number of defendants, by the abundant documents seized and the complexity of the outstanding expert, the delay in the proceedings is compounded by the precariousness of human and material he works with the court, whose demands are not they have yet been addressed by the Ministry of Justice, competent administration, although were backed Unit for Causes of Corruption (UACC) of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) and the Government Division of the High Court Justice of Valencia (TSJCV).

In this regard, the judge said in its resolution that "this lack of human and material resources affects so necessary and vital in delaying the processing of this case suffers and justify extending the period of instruction." Such a delay adds, "it is not due to laziness or inactivity of the judicial authorities" since from the "competent body has been treated to impose the maximum possible speed".

The head of the Court of First Instance and Instruction No. 1 of Nules, James Pin, requested last September the support of the UACC. In November, after studying your application, the Standing Committee of the CGPJ agreed to a proposal from the Support Unit Causes of Corruption contact the Directorate of Justice of the Generalitat Valenciana to adopt various measures to strengthen the Court.

The governing body of judges asked the Valencian Government to adscribiera the court manager or a procedural tramitador, preferably with experience in developing its work in the courts, and that will give the court a video recording system, a program computer transcription of statements and a document scanning machine with sufficient capacity to digitize large causes.

None of the requests made by the instructor to expedite the handling of the case has been heard except the continuity of a staff that was already reinforced the court.

The initial research was recently extended after filing a new complaint by the Servef in relation to training courses offered by the Institute of Development and Business Training Castellón (subsidiary CEC) under plan funds deformation.

In that report the complaint Servef the alleged perception of more 120,000 euros without justification.

As a result of the above additional complaint they again declared, as investigated, on February 26, Secretary of the CEC, Rafael Montero, and responsible for training, Mirror.

On April 25 it declared as investigated the territorial delegate of the CEC in the Vall will d'Uixó.

That same day have been summoned as witnesses, the accounting of one of the companies investigated and two technicians of Finance.

On May 20 they will appear, as well as witnesses, the assistant director of Servef, the section chief Servef training plans and the auditor of the accounts of the CEC for this training.

On May 23 the investigating judge interrogated and investigated responsible for one of the academies.

Training on consolidation of accounts as per IFRS

2016-04-20T12:26:00.002-07:00

The production of the consolidated accounts based on a complex accounting process involving many actors. This training is for all players in the consolidation process. It gradually unfolds the different stages of construction of the consolidated accounts: scope, methods, adjustments, conversion, elimination of inter-company transactions, deferred tax ... and brings you the technical knowledge and the necessary operational knowledge-how.

To facilitate the acquisition of skills, it relies on the progressive implementation of the consolidation of a group of companies. A very concrete approach that guarantees easy appropriation of concepts and mechanisms for the consolidation of applicable French GAAP and IFRS.

To act effectively and progress in the fields of accounting, it is necessary that you understand the basic techniques of accounting: balance sheet, income statement, credit flow, accounting statements, the accounting plan. This training ensures the acquisition of knowledge essential to any business accountant to be both more productive, more efficient, and give meaning to their daily accounting activities.

Case study on "Contract of transfer of rights of use among commercial enterprises."

2016-04-19T12:45:00.000-07:00

I have done a case study on "contract transfer of rights of use between commercial companies to InformaRec Bulletin Registry of Accountants Council of Economists of Spain. Bulletin no. 116 de18 March 2016.

From an accounting point of view, the problem of registration of contracts of transfer of use, is to consider the contract as a sale or a rental, so that:

1. Originator: You can record the operation in two ways:
- Consider it a rental and keep the asset in its heritage: Thus, the asset remains in the assets of the transferor, and accordingly all amounts received are considered as income for the year or for future years, on an accrual basis of the same, regardless of the time of collection.
- Consider it a sale, and therefore De-recognized the assets of his estate. So De-recognized records of its assets, and the consideration received such compensation is low, may emerge income or expense for valuation differences.

2. Transferee: There may also be two options:
- Consider it a rental. Not register the asset in its heritage, and consequently all the amounts paid are expended in the year or in future years on an accrual basis in the same regardless of the time of payment.
- Considering it a purchase. Register the asset in its heritage, so that the amount paid is the consideration for it.

All this depends on the accounting qualification to be granted the contract, depending on whether using the same control or not it is the transferee is transmitted. Is deemed to have been transferred control when the risks and rewards of ownership of the property significant benefits, regardless of their legal transmission are transferred, that is, mainly the law covers almost the entire lifetime of good.
We conducted a case study on these issues, which can be viewed.

Submission of Finished Goods reports and other issues

2016-02-15T19:13:00.000-08:00

Thanks for your email and solved your problem. This correction data is effected in stock report of Match -2014. So, please share this information in relevant department. Information may be notified to Cash in Charge as well for Financial Report correction in the next A/P. Please read information in the below, for necessary actions in the 4th A/P report for Packing Materials.

Today is 11th May 2014. Deadline of Financial Reporting is about to be over. Only 7 days remained! Every month I had to make you remembered about a soft copy of Finished Goods Report which is impossible for the time being. As the ERP is still going on, many development/design/input activities already made our life miserable. Waiting for your soft copy of Finished Goods report added the pain one drop more! I have asked you today about the Finished Goods Report but you said you forgot!

It is very normal that someone may forget anything at a point of time. But continuous mistake in every month means you deliberately delaying the reporting.I think, your mistake should not amount to the suffering for others. Generally, we do not expect more than 3 days from the last day of every month to have your Finished Goods report been submitted to us. If you have any problem to submit the Report on-time then please let the Management know. I think you understand the urgency level. One more point, It was very indecent that you have cut my Phone call in such a way.

What are the Excess inventory procured than budget?

2016-02-07T19:33:00.000-08:00

1. What are the items in WIP (Work-in Process) in No of days--> report is deferred to post Go-Live!

2. Is there any valuation report for Stationary like materials?

3. How to check for an insurance claim/settlement against an Item? Report on the list of materials on which insurance claims/settlements are done is not with me!

4. What are the batches having higher/lower yields? Will Yield report suffice, location wise? consolidation might not be there

5. What are the Items expired under Test? No such list with me!

6. What are the Finished Goods Items expired before delivery or having lower shelf life? No such list with me

7. What are the Excess inventory procured than budget?

As my reports are post Go-Live events, I am not finding any smart solution/report/analysis tool, then how to think of Going-Live and If Costing fails to answer to the above questions duly or within a short run, it will be a miserable job! Could you please schedule a clear-cut discussion on these issues!

Impact of HR Organization and Cost Center in ERP System

2016-01-18T20:22:00.002-08:00

Just to clarify: it has been confirmed by the KPMG team that once the HR updates employee database with Organization and Department from the core HR module, the one to one mapping of cost centers will be generated automatically. However, we are yet to see that demonstration in the system as its planned under the post go live activities.

At the same time, “yes” the Payroll team can manually change the cost centers accordingly at this point of time, which we have already tested. Hence, the costs for that particular employee will be done under the new assigned cost center (department LOV-List of Values of the COA-Chart of Accounts) but we are not confirmed by the KPMG team whether this facility will remain as it is during go live. This is FYI (For your information) only.

If demonstration in the system is under the post go live activities, what, if it poses error! Will we be able to rectify errors then! If yes! OK.

Let me correct the wording: it will be available during go live and not after go live. However, to answer your question: KPMG hasn’t said anything about error rectification yet. We’ll have to see the demonstration in the live environment to this call. Every problem has a solution, so chill out! Anyways, we will running Payroll in both legacy and Oracle systems for 3 months in parallel to achieve consistency and stability.

Good aftenoon! My Passport is ready for Visa Application. To apply for VISA, Indian High Commission will ask me for an Appointment Letter from the Doctor/Hospital. Could you please send me a signed and scanned Appointment Letter in this regard! Visa will take at least 20 days to receive. I will also request a guide as to How I can reach Sankara Netralaya from Kolkata.

---------------------
If I am not wrong, the attached mail was sent to an employee of Sonata Ltd. on 8th Dec’13 which is you, indeed!!! Now it’s a matter of question that how much cooperation you can do to others while you can’t cooperate yourself?? So, where attentiveness is a concern, waiting for month after month is inevitable!

Did your query in fist mail as below contents these requirements or only the Material Stock report? From whom and last when you got these data?

I don’t know whether Sonata has any Mailing language and communication etiquette or not. Next time I will not feel any comfort to communicate with you because of the lack of decency in approach!

Anyway, please stop the emailing keeping the senior managers in copy and if you have any farther query, it is better to contact me over phone or in person which will provide more clarification. Thanks in advance for your understanding!

Presentation of Oracle Standard Budget features in ERP

2015-10-24T20:52:00.000-07:00

Knowing that your expertise lies in the Financial & Costing modules, I will depend on your recommendation on the way forward on this subject. Please let me know How you want to proceed to the next steps.

I suggest we document all requirements in the budgeting space (whether or not they can be met using Oracle ERP) and then we do an evaluation of these requirements on what can be implemented through ERP (whether now / in the future using ERP). Even-though client may consider deploying the solution at any time in the future, we get an opportunity to validate that the current system is scalable to support client requirements. integration.

This also helps to ensure that the existing implementation doesn’t jeopardize / limit them in their road-map of the application for the future, whenever they consider themselves are matured to go for with products like Enterprise Planning & Budgeting.

To start with we should make a presentation of Oracle Standard Budget features to the teams identified.. so that it would aid them in consolidating their requirements and help them visualize what features they can use for their evolving requirements.

A formal notice of resignation as intern, submitted by my colleague

2015-10-17T23:36:00.001-07:00

Please accept this as formal notice of my resignation as intern (finance department) effective from 1st November 2013.

Working for this company has been a wonderful experience. I appreciate the responsibilities and opportunities that have been provided to me during my time with the company. I feel privileged to have been part of such a professional team and will miss all my colleagues.

I have enjoyed my stay and gained a great deal of knowledge and experience as a result of my employment here. This wasn't an easy decision to make but now I am much concerned about my growth and want to pursue career in much stable position.

I want to thank you personally for giving me the opportunity to work for this company and enhance my expertise. I wish this company continued success in the future.

This was quite a tough decision for me to make but I am really concerned now about my position in the company which is still an ‘intern’ even after working for prolonged 16 months. Besides I no longer can see any hope of being an employee of the company. My stay will only stretch my experience as intern. So I have decided to go back to my studies and look for better opportunities in much stable position.
