I currently use this tool to do keyword research and find that its the most effective for that task. I also use it to keep an eye on my sites ranking which is most helpful. One tool that I started using more of is the Clickbank product kit to help select products to promote. Suggest you give it a try.

I just got it last week and still playing with it but so far I really like it. The SEO analysis tools are the best

Yes I agree, it is my third keyword tool and it is pretty good. The one feature I like is it assesses the profitability of the keywords and it also tells you the chances of Google muddling up the order of the words in the keyword phrase you are researching.

As I read in another post you can watch videos on how it works and the features it provides before you make a decision to buy it.

Got a message about update, but when i'm trying to download it, i'll get error message XSKey not found. Anybody has an idea what this error is about? OS is Mac.

Thanks!

MS is one of the best tools that i have ever bought, it cuts your market research time down, you can post to multiple blogs, create content, find content form multiple sources, and this is a big one for me, it actually takes you to the clickbank sales page so that you can build you own article for it and post it to your site. Alot of programs are hyped up and don't deliver, but this delivers what it says it will and alot more. I'd try the free 14 day period to check out the keyword tool as alot of the other features don't work with the free package, but if all you wanted was a good keyword tool you could stick to traffic travis as that is free. If you want lot more, I would go for market samurai. I love it.

Rakeshbarla, consider that it uses your internet connection. Consider too that you need a decent computer to run it on. Perhaps it is not the software but your set up. I've run MS on a 5 year old Linux box, on Mac and on windows. And it IS slower on my father's internet connection and faster on mine. But mine is a higher plan. Odds are it isn't the software. But hey, that's cool dawg, less competition for me and the rest of us that love the software.

Bluekoala

If everyone use market samuray... Won't it be less effective?

pearsonbrown

If you don't use it, you'll be less effective.

sarahberra

You can get the same results with google ad words. I do miss overture though. That keyword tool was the best.

Carlos-Amigos

I've been using Market Samurai since it began and was one of the first to buy it as soon as it became available.

I think I have purchased most internet marketing softwares (keyword elite, micro niche finder, seo elite, etc etc..) But I find that Market Samurai to be the one I use the most..especially all the grunt work it does to drill down a niche to find me some absolute crackers, which I think is one of the better options over all of the other keyword research softwares..

The other ones seem to get your banned temporarily because of all the data it gathers, where as Market Samurai cut through the competition (like true samurai style).

Then, when they release the other modules I chuckled like a kid..as I knew the power of it especially the Seo Competition module, monetization and find content..they are the ones I use the most in the software.

They've certainly done their homework on this one!! 3 thumbs up from me.

Rozaidi

Is the offer still on?

cypherslock

a thought: TRY IT. It is much more than just keywords. And it gives you daily results as well plus competition, backlink and PR analysis to name but a few.

Boadicea

The offer is still on Rozaidi if you haven't taken the trial yet.

If you buy it within a few days of taking up the free trial then you get Market Samurai for US$97 instead of the usual $149.

SimonHarrison

Anybody else wish MS supported multiple rank checkers within a project.

So you create a project called.

Fat Loss.

Within that project you have 5 tabs of different keywords and URL's

You want to click on a tab with a set of keywords and URL's on it
then click rank tracker and have rank tracker show only the results from that tab.

Not one huge rank checker that takes forever to update because
you've had to cram a bazillion keywords and URL's into it.

I don't want to have dozens of projects to get a rank checker for each.

Anybody else miss that as a feature?

Dayor

I saw a demo on Ed dale's 30 day challenge so i went for it, its well worth it.
thats all i can say.

Brandon Sheley

I have a good friend that's been using it for a while and he loves it.
It's one of those programs that are on my "want list"
I'll get it one of these days, I guess I should try the beta first but I already know I want to buy it..lol

chikepeter

MS ? it's work perfectly well.infant,after implementing the directive guide line of it.l ended up paralyzing my competitors it's worth trying.

chikepeter

MS;after using a free trial and u feel not to buy a PAID version,you can still be enjoying the software.Base on experience.it's worth tyring

Aperio

I am the first one to be skeptical of anything and everything... so i will admit that I downloaded the market samurai demo with one eyebrow raised and truly expected to just fiddle with it for a couple of days and then forget about it... Couldn't have been any more wrong. This is one tool that i absolutely LOVE and would very highly recommend.

If you download the trial version, do be mindful of the timeframes in regards to the special pricing for the full version... once it expires, it expires... but after just one day alone of using the program should sell you on it.

Gravc

Wow pretty big thread. I'm gonna go with the majority MSAM is by far the best and most complete research tool. Will save sooo much time. Yes it can take a little while for results to come up (even in the latest version) but you will save loads more time than you will ever waste by not having MSAM.

Benhur

I believe MS is the best tool I purchased for KW research and I love their feautures
1. KW research
2. Monetization
3. Find Content
4. Publish Content
5. Promotion.
6. Rank Tracker
7. Adwords - coming.

Also coming is the Adwords w/c I heard will be like Speedppc. MS is one stop tool
if you are serious on your IM. Even for the full price of 149 its still a steal. I highly
recommend MS to anybody. I bought and burn with other software offer from cheap to expensive and I found MS to be the best.

For those thinking about installing Samurai, once you do, make sure you visit their DoJo link and take the time to view their excellent training videos. Not only will they show you how to get the low hanging fruit, but you will save yourself a ton of time by getting your skill-set up to snuff a lot faster.

My wish is that the guys from down under add a "mobile marketing" angle to Samurai. My mobile activity has tripled in the past 3-4 weeks. Mobile SEO is a new area for me and I suspect Samurai dotmobi version would be awesome.

kincontrol

I have this program too, and at the time I felt it was a great purchase, but have lost site of it at the moment because I'm not creating any new projects. I did think it was pretty comprehensive and covered a great deal of information as well as a really good resource. I'll certainly have to get back into it after I've completed my current project.

JNFerree

I just viewed a very useful video from Market Samurai entitled: Content Writing Made Easy.

As we know, coming up with and authoring good quality can be a royal pain.

I've been using MS for awhile now and feel kinda silly that I've not used this awesome feature more. That will change now

I did a quick article post on it and embedded the video HERE

Droopy Dawg

Buying market Samurai was the best damm 90-something bucks I've ever spent... I got lucky and caught them during a promo and got it for 30 bucks cheaper, but I would have had NO problem buying at full price.

Excellent software to research keywords and niches. A one-stop-shop for all market research.

JNFerree

You lucky Dawg

barryoz

I think MS is the best product i have ever purchased . Still have not used all the functions and i also got it on a promo but would have readily paid full price for it

I love MS and the support and videos are great! I spent hours watching most of the videos so I could play along with it and I learned heaps. That's more than I can say for some other programs where the videos aren't quite as useful

rhonnee1

I am impressed with the videos and continuous upgrades. This software provides so many tools and tips, it is hard to use all of them.

lancelotfl

Let me join the chorus of folks who'll tell you that if there was an Academy Award for software, Market Samurai would win.

Yes, it was bit slow and annoying when it first came out, but they constantly tweak it and it is one fine piece of software that absolutely performs as advertised.

It has been called the Swiss Army Knife of Internet marketing, and it definitely lives up to it.

Regardless of whether you buy it or not, the Keyword Research module is free, and that beats the pants off the Google Webmaster tools.

areaK

I *heart* Market Samurai. Worth every single penny...and then some! Brent and the rest of the MS crew are awesome. Great customer service, continuous updates, training on their blog and great tools inside MS besides the kw research and competition analysis!

thebeacon

Was awesome piece of software when it worked now that Google is blocking almost all automated software requests it is nearly impossible to get any results from Google. I have been using Market Samurai for almost a year now and it had worked flawlessly now I can berely get any results for anything. Rank tracker gets results for 1 out of 30. I know it is not ip being blocked because i have tried using it with different ips using proy servers, still nothing. I have been using Micro Niche Finder and that software is not working either now. Google is definitely cracking down on automated software requests.

GowebMkt

Is MS similar to Traffic Travis?

Do they share any of the same features?

Rick45

I am using the paid version and I must say it is really a very great and useful tool. It is still hanging if you try to pool to much data out of it. So minimise a bit and it works great. I amnot "the experienced marketer" but under my opinion it does a very great job. The information returned is very complet and targeted.

great tool.

Zeb

MS is working flawlessly on my side. Rank tracker is accurate. Do make sure that you've updated to the lastest version of MS as there was an update awhile ago that took care of the google changes...

SimonHarrison

Anybody else having MS issues today ?

I'm getting weird search volume reports and the back link checker just hangs forever.

BriannaZachary

IT IS great for SEO

nicelife

I would say Market Samurai.

/Daniel

fypnlp

yes I've found it's acting very strange. Yesterday I did some research on my page ranking and the results were VERY VERY VERY strange. Did some alternative research with an Firefox SEO tool to get the right answer.

cypherslock

They just released an update today, so hopefully that fixes it.

Rickmci

I have heard that alot. It is buggy but well worth the money. It may be about time to give it a try.

SimonHarrison

I don't value any other IM related piece of s/w higher.

It's the only piece of s/w that isn't a monthly subscription that I would
actually pay a sub for. It's worth $30 a month of anybody's money
saves me hours.

Get it, you won't regret it.

Now if only the back links checker would work, it just hangs for me ?

Profolegy

Become a real internet marketer and buy Market Samurai.
It performs much better than the Australian soccer team.

We ALL know that MS now has an affiliate scheme. Please don't insult our intelligences by trying to sneak an affiliate link in here. Threads will be closed, users will be banned, Australians will be laughed at etc.

Thanks,

Wasn't it a great game?

REW72

Essential. Use it every single day. The only real gap in it's armory is the lack of a PC tool which has shown a "Coming soon" logo for what seems like forever.
My only real gripe (which is also one of MS's strengths) is the almost daily updates. It's great that it's maintained and improved so well but the update process is slow and annoying.
That said - it's absolutely invaluable and a better tool than any other I've used.
(and no - no affiliate link, hidden or otherwise).

I've been a Net marketer since 1998 and this is the best keyword tool I've ever found. The last one I used cost $129/month, so the MS cost is nothing. It can be a bit slow, but it's worth it because of all the research it does. Someone else on this thread mentioned that you can do the same thing with several different tools - EXACTLY! I don't want to use multiple tools when I can do all the research in one control panel. Do you?

BrianNC

I believe I know the other tool you are talking about. So how does MS compare to the $129 a month one? I was actually considering the $129 due to the great reports I have heard about it.

Is MS a one time cost?

superzjn

You can try it yourself. 12 days free trial.

cypherslock

Yes it is a one time cost. and should you decide to upgrade during the trial I believe you can get a discount.
