  • MS is good but its data source is Google Keyword Tool. While doing keyword research it is a good practice to have data from multiple data sources. Hence apart from any tool that uses Google data (MS, MNF), you may also consider Wordtracker. Wordtracker gets data from meta crawlers and then the data is extrapolated to give estimates of search volume.

    You can then take the average of volumes suggested by both Data sources (Google & Wordtracker), which would arguably be the closest to actual search volume of a keyword.
  • Thanks I will definitely go check out Wordtracker then.
  • Market Samurai
  • Market Samurai pulls its data from Google, but it does so live. Whereas when you use Googles Keyword Tool the data is not live.

    • Don't forget that Market Samurai gives you the data in a format that is extremely usable. I started with MicroNiche Finder and never was able to make the connection. Just a flavor thing really, but IMHO between the two go with MS.

    • Hey Mike, when you say live and not live data, what exactly do you mean? thanks in advance.
  • I use MS. It has the ability to give you the data and the tutorial videos will have you running like a pro in no time.
  • When I started in Internet Marketing, Keyword Elite was THE tool to have. But Market Samurai has surpassed, in my opinion. Easy to use. The videos to learn the tool are top-notch.
  • I use my own SerpAttacks http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...cker-more.html

    Its free!
  • I think for me it's google adword keyword tool.

    Anywhere I go, I can access it.
  • I you think Googles Keyword Tool is the best, you obviously haven't tried using Market Samurai.

      We can all be adamant and believe that we use or do is the best. It is good to view objectively and not subjectively.

      Any keyword tool or for that matter any software is just a tool and reduces the mundaneness of the tasks involved. It cuts down on time and increases productivity.

      When it comes to keyword research, data being live or not is not the point. It is the intent of the keyword phrase (search vector) that is most important. Although search engines are very advanced today, they can get flummoxed for certain keyword queries because they are not sure of the intent of the searched word or phrase.

      It is the human brain that can think contextually and analyze the intent behind the search effectively. Using good old plain commonsense, it can determine the best outcomes for the situation at hand.

      Market Samurai or Keyword Elite or SE Cockpit, be it anything, they can all do the job well but in tricky situations, they may not give the best results. My 2 cents

      Best

      a lot of features.

  • I use a tool called Keyword Blueprint 2.0 Pro. It's got a lot of very cool features including the evaluation of keywords to make sure they are viable.

    I've built 3 sites now that are ranking in the top 3 for high traffic keywords because of this beautiful piece of software.

    PM me for details on where you can get it.

    • Mark,

      Where did you get the software, ive become a member of Steve and Tim site but still cant find a link paid or not paid...

      Thanks
  • I use a combination of Google external keyword tool, scrapebox (wonderwheel scraper) and then Market samurai.
    Its a bit of a process but done properly it can be an awesome combination.
    PM me if you would like to see a video of how i use this method to find desperate niche keywords
  • I prefer to let me team do it.
    P.S. They don't use software, all manual!

    • For researching keywords, I like Market Samurai best, and here's why.

      I am of course aware that it pulls its data from Google Keyword Tool - but MS has tremendous added value in terms of competition research and so on. All of this could still be done by hand if you really wanted to (and, in fact I can only recommend that you become at least familiar with the process), but the convenience of having all the data from google keyword tool, yahoo site explorer, checking for title in url/title in header and so on makes it so much faster, so for me MS is worth having.

      There is also MicroNicheFinder, but to me quite a few columns that it shows seems irrelevant.
  • I use market samurai, seo matrix results - is very powerful and useful feature
  • Micro Niche Finder is also one of the best software for keyword research. It is a SEO program which is use to find the optimal keywords for generating web traffic.
  • As my view Google Keyword Tool.. because is the best tools for searching Keywords, I'm also using this online tools for keyword enhancement.....
  • Banned
    i will vote for MS it is the best..
  • You can try both of these software.It will help you to find the exact keywords.

    • Keyword research very effectively if you want to get anywhere online.About two months I first heard of some software that was new and supposed to be very good,and now that I own it I do not use any other software for my research needs.
  • Market samurai is the best software doing keyword research. You can use this software.
  • Trying to decide here between market samurai and wordtracker. Im currently doing the trail for market samurai. I think the trial means they dont have a guarantee which sucks because you really need to give a product a good shot, say atleast a month.

    • I thought you can use the free version for as long as you like? And it has the Keyword Analysis section always available.
  • I think no one has mentioned about Traffic Travis here..the software is pretty good!

    • What? How do you do it?
  • I like to use Market Samurai, it is very easy to use.
  • Keyword Sniper Pro 2.0 pulls from different sources and doesn't rely solely on the Google Adwords Keyword tool. If you're only using the GAKT, you're missing out.
  • I believe on google adwords keyword tool.
