I need help in determine whether I should buy Market Samurai

Hello,

I need your help in deciding whether or not Market Samurai is worth purchasing. Some people use Google Keyword Tool and some use Market Samurai. But I can't determine if Market Samurai will give you better information than Google Keyword Tools.

Help me please.

It's not gonna give you better information, but it will give you more information than simply using the google keyword tool.

When I bought Market Samurai if i remember correctly I was able to download a copy that lasted for 14 or maybe 30 days. Why not download the software and see if it fits your needs. I think I got it through Ed Dale's 30 day challenge You might check there if it is not available through the regular website..

It all boils down to what you "need" the software for, I have heard nothing but GREAT things about that software. If I'm not mistaken they should offer a demo.

Best Regards,

Watch the tutorials, download a trial and play around with it.

It does FAR more than google Keyword tool.

Just BUY it!

It can be somewhat overwhelming having all the information available that Market Samurai gives you, in my opinion.

There's simpler methods and free ways to check competition and keyword ideas. Try using an SEO plugin like SEO Quake, and just use the Google Keyword Tool?

...of course, I bought Market Samurai a couple years ago!

I use it for the "promotion" module, and the "rank tracker". Otherwise, bah!

Sure...you can always use free tools to do what all the modules of MS can do.
But it will take you ages. Market Samurai is an automation tool that will facilitate almost all these tasks.

If you treat IM as a businesss, I can't see any reason why you'd wanna use a hand shovel to dig for a month while there's an excavator which can do it in half a day!

There have been loads of Market Samurai threads here. Mostly, people are very positive. The video training is particularly good.

Download the free trial and try it. The software is great. but like other members said, it all depends on your needs.

If you need a simple keyword research tool. ( Google keyword tool is enough in my opinion).

I tried ages ago with the free trial and after using it I decided I didn't want it.

Tbh I wasn't a big fan of it. Just found it really slow, may of changed now though.

Anyway there's a free trial, you don't have to enter your credit details or anything like that so if you're not sure - just try it out and see if it's for you or not - you got nothing to lose.

The slowness was a temporary problem. Now fixed AFAIK.

arsenal · 09-25-2011, 02:51 PM

Get it if you can afford it. It will pay for its self afterwards.

^ What he said. It is the single most important tool I have and can do everything you need with respect to research and finding profitable products and even creating ads. Worth the $149. It pays for itself the moment you set up your first campaign. Just so long as you remember to use your brain as well.

Fazal Mayar · 09-25-2011, 05:36 PM

You should buy it, you have 30 days trial too i think, definiately a no brainer for a good internet marketing tool

jlt · 09-28-2011, 08:40 AM

This is the first piece of software I bought, and I don't regret it. I am still learning how to use all the different functions, but the videos really are great. As with any software, you need to learn how to use it so that you don't end up wasting more time with the software. However, the learning curve is not difficult at all.

PicktownChris · 09-28-2011, 04:19 PM

It's got a trial... worth checking out... lots of great features...

rmoore · 09-28-2011, 04:40 PM

MS is Worth it for The Rank Tracker Module Alone!

Honestly...if you want to track how well your SEO efforts are working, the "rank tracker" module is invaluable. I have used MS for years and it is towards the top of my list.

Get it if you want to get better at SEO.

This is definitely a worthwhile investment in my opinion. I believe that you lose access to the competition module after the free trial expires, but still have access to the keyword research module. There is absolutely no reason not to at least try the 7 day free trial and play around with it, especially since you'll still have access to some core functions even if you ultimately decide not to buy it.

Justin Lewis · 09-28-2011, 11:36 PM

I'll be honest, it's a great investment when you have the money, but even though I own it on 2 separate computers (yeah I bought it twice, oops), I don't use it. If you can afford it, go for it, if not, just wait.

Remember you can get the trial and play with it, even after the trial is over.
