I'm pretty sold on getting a copy of Market Samurai for keyword research. I've read about some $87 / $97 deals on it with longer trial periods, but am having trouble locating any info about where you sign up for it at those prices. If those prices are no longer available, what is the best deal on it right now?

Can anyone please send me in the right direction.

Thank you very much.

    There's a link in their email when you first sign up for the free 12 day trial. After that, they will spam you on a daily basis to bug you buy at the $97 rate.

    You have the possibility to purchase it for $97 during the trial period. 12 days should be enough since there is enough information available about MS.

    Save your money. All those keyword tools are a waste of time in my opinion. Use your head and the dictionary if you need combinations. Nothing beats your brain and all those keyword tools arent really worth it. Save your money and buy yourself a crate of beer, you'll get more value out of it!

      I am really looking for something faster. I have found it extremely time consuming to do the research. What I have done is to take the web site of a competitor, put it in the keyword tool external, get the list of keywords, export that list. Put the list into rank tracker, run it, then look at the top 20-30 placements, export those, put them back into keyword tool external, look at search volume and ad competition, compare that to the number of search results I access when searching for that term. Then I put them in a list and check them one at a time to see if there are domains available for the keywords I am looking at.

      Is there some faster way to do this without the software, because it is extremely time consuming.

      Thanks.

      ok..you are not serious, are you?

      Market Samurai is pure gold. You cannot simply ignore keyword research, no way.

      Most things in SEO, when it comes to google ranking/SERPs have hard, boring math behind them. It IS a difference whether your phrase has 500.000 competing sites or 500. And it IS a difference whether you have a site/article about a keyword with 2 daily searches or 2000.

    Most things in IM certainly boil down to two things I find... money and time.

    If you have some extra money, you can save yourself all sorts of time.
    Without the money, things take more time.

    Sure, as badboy_Nick says, you can just use your head and be fine, but if you want to save yourself all sorts of time the tools are definitely worth it.

    I suppose what it really comes down to is, how much do you value your own time?

    (sorry... a bit off topic!)

    I'd say your best bet is to go to the thirty day challenge... get a nice long trial, then you can purchase for the cheaper price.

    Cheers,

    The keyword tool on Samurai is free anyways. Does anyone else actively use the tools on there anyways?

    Personally I use it quite regularly. I think the value comes in with the "SEO competition" feature and I also like the "rank tracker".

    In all honesty badboy_Nick has a point, you can do it with your head, but to truly analyze that level of detail of the page 1 competitors would be very time consuming if you had many keywords to go through.

    Micro Niche Finder is also cool, but I feel you need to do more "digging" to insure that you can rank for that keyword after you get a potential idea.

    On the flip side MNF is quite fast in comparison to MS, I find MS quite sluggish but has good detail.

      I got the 30 day demo. Thanks for the help.

      A low seotcr with a decent level of volume shown in SEOT and a high SEOV should be a good term correct?

      I found a term for example:
      SEOT: 60
      SEOTCR: 0%
      SEOV $92.57

      So if I understand correctly, that is telling me that is a fairly valuable keyword to advertisers, with very low competition and a fair amount of traffic if I get to #1 in google (1800 visits per month of target traffic).

        Ive tried MNF, keyword country and market sumari... they aer all great tools but I have to say I have gone back to completing doing things old fashion manual and finding that I am uncovering more keywords than i did with the tools.

        I stopped getting into analysis paralysis (trackiing page rank every sec, backlinks,etc). once i find good keywords i just put my head to the grind and crank out the sites do basic promotion and move on to the next site. every 30 days i stop for about a day and just take a quick look and keep moving..

        I found that when I was using all the fancy tools i was less productive.

    People think Market Samurai is just for keyword research, but it is so much more than that I use the SEO part of it more than the keyword research. If you use it to check backlinks you might surprise yourself and find a lot of free info that is supose to cost money to read meaning google indexed there ebook opps free ebook for me to read. So Market Samurai is well worth the money for all it's tools.
