Xfactor's Adsense course and Market Samurai

[schnisz]

I just purchased this and have read it twice and am looking forward to implementing. However, I already have market samurai and dont really want to shell out for mnf. I interested in hearing from people who are familiar with both this course and m.s. Specifically when analyzing keywords seoc competition, its nice to get green or red light in mnf, but m.s. offers way more data. Whats more important to look at when determining competition? backlinks, pr, etc? I know John says he doesnt care about competing pages, but I like formula's that we can plug into the samurai filters like total searches, traffic numbers, competition etc. appreciate any feed back. I guess what I'm asking for is whats the quickest and most effective way to choose a keyword using m.s. using John's criteria. I have seen all the videos for m.s. and I do understand how it works. It just too much data!

I own MNF and I just tried MS for the trial. I only used MS once and realized it does all the things MNF does. I'm pretty sure you could use either program and get good results.

Good question - I get this ALL of the time.

In my Adsense book I outline the tools that I use, and while I do
advise them to others - you do not need to spend money on other
items if your current inventory does the job.

Having said that, it's funny that you said that MS provides "too much
data." I too only use what I need.

The quickest routine between Point A & Point B is a straight line, so for
me that means bypassing all of the bells and whistles because that I
do not need (at the present time).

For example, I still use XsitePro - Version 1.

Why? Because I don't even use 90% of the functions now, so why
upgrade or use anything more complicated?

However...

MS is a wonderful tool and I highly recommend it if you do need more
"data" that you find Micro Niche Finder does not have for your business.

P.S. Enjoy the course, I'm getting ready to update some of my article
marketing material and action plan - sometime this week I will email you.
