Keyword Research Question For Market Samurai Users.

Jon,

I own Market Samurai but I will try to explain a neat method that can bring you some light. Try this:

Ask your parents, relatives, girlfriend, wife, co-workers or friends to search for your targeted markets. Let's say you are trying to find out more about "solar panels". Give them the keyphrase and a computer and write down each and every combination they use.

Many people use search words you don't see in MS or Google keyword Tool. That's a great option to discover and test other keywords, the ones "regular" folks do search.

You can take this further with combinations cause you will spot similarities even for different keywords: male, 60 years old = this keyphrases; female 33 years old = this keyprases, boy 18 years old = this keyprases.

We often neglect our visitors and who they are, their age, how webby they are etc etc.

Best thing to do is go on Googles Browser and before you do any matches of Keywords using other peoples software......just go in and do a human search of the top 20 most common Keywords and list them in order.......sure it may take some time, and only check the top 10 listed websites, and not the paid ones.

Then take those keywords and head into the view html codes of those websites and do whats called a (Find) search...( If you don't know how to do this, take your mouse and place it over a website page and click the right side of the mouse and then you'll see in the directory box that opens up...whats called View Source - click it- and you can view the HTML in the NotePad)..next go to ( Edit in tool bar ) and (click on Find )and now check and see just how many times each keyword or Keyword Phrase is used? Such as keywords ( Make Money ) I have notice that many od the top ranked webpages may have over 500 of those kewords worked into the main front page. Then Check other keywords like ( How To Make Money ON The Internet) or (Make Money Online Fast) it may shock you to find out that these sites are heavily loaded with keywords.


Next once your done doing keyword searches - compare your keywords with the software if you must, but I think it's a total waste of time myself.
But I can tell you this, without software I can get a website ranked 100% of the time on Google.....I don't believe in following the tradional SEO bunk online,most is misslead information in teaching people false SEO...and it's done by people trying to make money ramming up traffic into their adsense accounts......geeeeeeeezzzzz.

The real truth is this -Googles system Flucuates Daily even every hour, it takes a human touch and reason to beat the system, humans can Fluctuate, computers can not.......it's the constant changing of keywords that cause this fluctations by humans posting new websites and pages, it's not caused by computers but people. The computers just respond to what the humans do daily in posting keywords and figures out the averages.........This is my way of explaning this so the average person can understand, and not just the computer jockies like myself.
Soooooo...people cause this Flucuation and so a human mind can beat the system, this is the real truth, so simple but...no one ever gets it !! Yet I have ranked over 100 websites on google in the past 12 months. I am telling you the real truth here people.


Also I did my own personal research ....just so you know & I check these keyword search tools before an sodtware, and they give false anwsers. Here's why I had a group of 50 people online post in the keywords _ Rock,Blues Guitar Lessons......guess what happened?....not one of those came up as people searching online. So why trust the software. The software seems to report on certain keywords.

Anyways....use some human wisdom and you can get ranked on Google in 48 hours or less. But you must know the skills.

What I did was a search in an area where only about 25 people an hour browse online.
If 50 Internet friends all typed in the same search.....it should at least read 50, most likey 75 if you add the other 25 into the mix.
During that hour not 1 person showed on the responce........why?
Because these software companies most likely set it up that way to run a more common search. Such as Free Rock Guitar Lessons or Free Blues Guitar Lesson, but not Free Rock,Blues Guitar Lessons.
I know this is true, I have over 100 top ranking under guitar websites on google.

I have done searches in how to make money categories also, and there again I have notice this.
So I believe not every category will pull up, unless they have made new chanes to the system.
Either way, it takes me only 20 minutes to get my keywords and do my keyword searches to rank any website. Infact I have ranked sites for Real Estate, Attorneys, Gas Companies, and Money making websites, and I still rank 100% all the time.
My biggest has been on top in the 1 number 1 spot with over 1.6 Billion Pages Online.

Now I am not saying this to brag...........I am trying to get people to head in the right direction. Most people want to believe all the SEO bunk being told online.
And I said bunk...not to put people down.....if people could only see the trees through the forest, instead most are sadly lost in the forest and don't enjoy the tree's/;;;;;;;;if you get my point !

Anyways ....as I said most so called SEO experts teach false skills and techniques online, maybe not on purpose but...its really done to attract people into websites to get huge volumes of traffic for higher click through rates on adsense.

And If what I am saying is true...then what are you really learning?
Or is it a waste of time.......you decide.........that's not my call....I can only tell you the truth from my opinion.

Everyone, thank you for your thoughts on this topic. I appreciate it.

I have to say, the more I play with Market Samurai the more I am convinced that the focus needs to be on adding value to the market and writing for the visitor -- and not writing for the search engines.

Yes, I believe that tools like Market Samurai can give a marketer some direction. But in the end it comes down to providing your visitors with quality content.

Perhaps I am missing something. And if I am, I'd love to hear about it.

P.S. I am not trying to come across as a Mr Know It all........I just wanted to open a few eyes.............if you choose to use the software I hope it works well for anyone doing that.... Thanks
