Ok so I purchased market samurai today and after playing around looking for keywords it has left me really confused.

The past few months I used the google adwords free tool and I like to think I got decent at finding keywords to target. I always used the "exact" option when searching for keywords.

So today I am searching on MS and it when you analyse the keywords at first it has broad match selected, I get some nice results. I change it to exact and only about four keywords has over 1,000 searches the rest of the results are looow. I had the same results for an hour, I decided to check on the google keyword tool.

I know MS is supposed to pull its results from google (so i believe), I type the same keywords into the google adwords tool and select exact. One keyword that showed 1,500 in MS is coming up with 5,600 in the google adwords tool :confused:. In MS I am targeting all countries and territories so I don't get it.

I am beginning to wonder why the results are so low in MS. I might be missing out on good keywords because I disregard them with the low search count in marketing samurai, when the adwords tool shows the opposite.

In one of the keyword MS tutorial videos he only had broad match selected but puts 15 in the broad-to-phrase. However this is an introductory video so I do not know, but it's tempting to follow those numbers!

I seen a lot of people raving about MS and I know it is a great tool but...If its so good when you use it, what process do you use to find keywords? Broad/Phrase/Exact? I would really appreciate some advice.

Thanks,

Andy
