    Market Samurai is a crazy Swiss army knife of awesomeness. It's expensive but when my trial expires I think I'm going to have to buy it; there's just so much information it makes available to you at the click of a button.

  • I hate to say this, it's not a bragging thing, but I believe the best SEO tool you have is your own mind.
    Learn to out smart and out think everyone else, be creative, the mind is your greatest money making tool.With your mind you can create many times more Money Making Internet traffic to your websites and get high rankings on the search engines, many people are still using old techinques that are a waste of time, It's time to grow and expand and learn and become 100% original, and then making money will become easy.....but.... I am not willing to share those idea's that make me money fast, I mean why share a goldmind of wealth when I am cashing in on it.

      I have a trial version of Market Samurai that I am using. But, other than putting things in a more manageable format and multiplying a few numbers together, I fail to see what it is doing that is not available using the free tools. A lot of that information can be gathered using adwords external tool + google + a free plugin like SEOQuake or the tools on SEOBOOK. :confused:

    I like Yahoo's Site Explorer because it's the only one that allows you to check links to a website you don't own.
