You need Market Samurai IMO

I just bought it two to 3 wks ago. Does it have occasional problems? sure but they always fix them, all the recent bugs have been fixed

its 97 dollars sure, nothing is free in this world
Why do you need it?

1. Kw research is THE most important part of Internet Marketing IMO
2. you cant do this with free tools (I have access to all the free tools why would I pay money then)
3. IMO the most important phase of kw research is something the free tools cant do, and this is analyzing top 10 of google competition
4. Theoretically you can do this on your own, however time factor starts coming into play really quickly

If I want to analyze the top ten competition on Google on my own, for free, what do I have to do

1. go find the domain age of the top 10 sites
2. go find the PR of the top 10 sites
3. go find the number of backlinks to the domain for the top 10 sities
4 go find the number of backlinks to the PAGE for the page the top 10 sites is displaying
5. go find if the top 10 sites are indexed in DMOZ?
6 go find if the top 10 sites are indexed in YAHOO
7 go find the number of indexed pages for each of the top 10 sites
8 go analyze the top ten sites ONPAGE SEO, (kw in title, ? url? header? description?

there are about 5 more factors that come up in Market Samurai analysis cant remember now

Ok so now we know what we have to do. Please show me ANY free tool that can do this. ? Just the backlinks alone, would take IMO about 20 to 30 minutes.and thats for ONE KEYWORD Go where to find this information (for free we are talking about)

SEO Spyglass? ok how long does that take to generate for just ONE url? I have seen it take about 1 minute for my website url and there are only 200 backlinks on that site. What about a site with 300,000 backlinks? ARe you going to sit there and wait for it to generate that list?
And thats just backlinks. We are not even starting on all the other information sources in our list. So IMO it would be almost impossible even to find the free resources to generate this list

Then when you did generate it on your own, you are not going to generate the information in a READ AT A GLANCE format. it will be something you jotted down in notepad or some other perhaps windows office format. Very time consuming

With Market Samurai I generate my top ten competition list for TEN URLS, in about 30 seconds

so it is generating ALL THE BACKLINKS numbers, domain, url, for 10 urls, the domain age, the PR, the onpage SEO analysis, the number of indexed pages in the domain, etc etc in about 30 seconds..................and that information comes up for each url for TEN URLS.............all in 30 seconds

You try that with free tools
, I am here to tell you it does not exist a free tool that can do that

TIME IS MONEY in this business, and MS saves you so much time, it makes it worth well more than the price they charge

THAT is why I say you need this tool.
If there is another paid tool even that can do this, what is it? Traffic Travis wont even generate backlinks now.

      Sorry Outwest -there is no tool outside of your brain thaT is absolutely necessary for SEO.

      1. go find the domain age of the top 10 sites
      2. go find the PR of the top 10 sites
      3. go find the number of backlinks to the domain for the top 10 sities
      4 go find the number of backlinks to the PAGE for the page the top 10 sites is displaying
      5. go find if the top 10 sites are indexed in DMOZ?
      6 go find if the top 10 sites are indexed in YAHOO
      7 go find the number of indexed pages for each of the top 10 sites
      8 go analyze the top ten sites ONPAGE SEO, (kw in title, ? url? header? description?
      Not dumping on Market Samurai but SEoquake covers most of those for free.

      so it is generating ALL THE BACKLINKS numbers, domain, url, for 10 urls, the domain age, the PR, the onpage SEO analysis, the number of indexed pages in the domain, etc etc in about 30 seconds..................and that information comes up for each url for TEN URLS.............all in 30 seconds
      You forgot to include what the anchor text of each backlink is. Without knowing that you have not done good keyword competition analysis. the numbers game is meaningless without knowing what the links are targeting.

    No SEO quake doesnt come close, does it show onpage SEO of the sites?
    Does it show the top 10 at a glance? Does it show backlinks to the page and backlinks to the site(no it shows Yahoo backlinks assumedly using Yahoo site explorer to do this and site explorer is being discontinued)

    Even if SEO quake offered all the same information for free (it does not)
    It would not spit out a list of the top 10 with all the information in columns so that you can compare the top 10 sites at one glance

    you would have to search each site individually
    with Seo Quake. So ok now you are talking ten times the time for each kw, and not spitting out a list of the top 10 sites AT A GLANCE like MS does

    No thanks (free is not free if it takes 10 times longer, is your time not worth money?)

    That fact alone to me makes MS worth the price

      You don't need to search all the sites individually with SEO quake. You just type the keyword into Google, and it shows you the analysis for the top 10.

      I just tried the 14-day free trial (about to end now) with Market Samurai, and nothing worked. I mainly wanted to try the keyword analysis portion of it, but after "generating" the results, no list appeared. The few times it did generate results, I clicked on Keyword Analysis, and then they disappeared again. In other words, I have not been able to do any keyword analysis during the two weeks.

      Before that, it would crash when I tried to check the top 10 competition. Thankfully, that works now.

      Maybe it was a bad two weeks for them, but it got pretty frustrating. I'm not to sure I want to spend $97, especially when it seems like I barely got anything to work during the two weeks.

        MS works, but you need to learn how to use it, when I first tried it (didnt know what I was doing) I said this thing is garbage, it doesnt work

        its a bit tricky the jumping around I spent a few hours watching tutorials on youtube

        not only does it work it works great I will reread what you typed and try to figure out what you did and how to correct it

        for about 2 or 3 days they had some bugs, which now work
        However

        thats with the paid version
        I am not sure that the free version is bug free
        LOL those guys are always tinkering with it
        I am just happy mine works like a charm now, I only had 2 days where it only generated 100 kws instead of 800, they fixed that bug
