I have been using Google Adwords tool for my SEO and keyword research stuff. I have heard many positive things about Market Samurai. I want to know how these two tools differs and which one is beneficial ?

    You're comparing apples with oranges. In fact, Market Samurai _uses_ the Adwords tool to get search volume numbers. Market Samurai is a full-featured research software, the Adwords tool is just for looking up keywords and search volume.

    BTW, you should probably get rid of those (broken) Clickbank links in your signature...

    Google adwords tool does not give a very accurate value for the search volume unless you mean you are using your adwords PPC account in which case you will have needed to do keyword reasearch anyway.

    Market Samuari is designed to help with your keyword research for SEo so will be better.

      I have Market Samurai but I rarely use it. It does have some nice features, but I find it very slow and not the easiest product to use. I use Google AdWords tool all the time, however.

      Market Samurai does a lot more, but like I said, I hardly use it.

    I personally prefer Google's tool over Market Samurai just because MS is buggy. Have you looked into Keyword Scout?

    I personally don't use Market Samurai. I use the Keyword Tool from Google and SEOquake to determine competition. Sometimes I'll use Traffic Travis to pull all ten top sites for the keyword and put all the information in one spot for quick digesting.

    Last I heard Market Samurai hadn't updated its software to use the new keyword tool, thus there search count results might be off.

      That combination provides a powerful and free alternative. Mix in thee free version of SEO Spy Glass for your backlinks analysis and you have a complete package.

      Market Samurai is great for keeping things organised and I do use it to micro manage but when I have the need for speed I use the Google Keyword Tool and either MS, SEO Quake or sometimes the free Traffic Travis for competition analysis.

      The new(ish) Google Keyword Tool makes it very easy to expand your keyword research super fast.

        I suggest you to try yourself the producti (Marketing Samurai)...they offer e 12-days-free trial

        Anyway, I think Traffic Travis v3 (free) is better (and simple too)...now i'm waiting for v4 to have some bugs fixed...then it's going to rock!

        For keyword research it should be good also Niche Finder (not Micro Niche Finder)...but i don't know the product becouse they don't offer a free trial...

    I recommend you to test their trial version. It is easy to get familiar with MS and it is even easier for you since you have been working with Adword. The point is MS gathers all the information about competition, commercial value of keywords and monthly search volume from Google. But it shows them all together and it saves you time so you don't have to check each keyword for competition, search volume and other things.

    We love Market Samurai and use it on a regular basis, both for our site creation and helping our clients with keywords.

    Market Samurai uses Google Keyword Tool along with a bunch of other free tools and programs to give you an overall picture, check domain availability, etc. We could do everything MS does manually, but it would take us much longer.

    We use GKT as a stand-alone, along with MS as well. It's really not an either/or. Compare MS to Micro Niche Finder. I've never used MNF, but hear the tools are comparable.

    Anyway, for a one-time fee, MS is completely worth it. It can be a bit slow, a little buggy, etc. but totally worth it, in our opinion. Just opinion, too...no affiliate links or kickbacks for me. :-)
