    Of Course is worth. They have a lot of options very important that you can use.

        I bought that a while back and never used it. When I found out they were integrating a rank tracker I thought that was great...until they said we'd be getting updates just once a week! WTF
        Rubbish piece of outdated software if you ask me, money best spent elsewhere!

          MS have great option and I'm still using it (paid version) but I combine MS and KEv2.0.
          Well its normal that for someone is not working and for someone it does. MS is software that need to be guided by human being, cannot do all by itself. The power is nothing without control.
          Most of marketers think that owning top software will make them money what is wrong. After buying it you must read user guide and watch some video tutorial and not immediatelly start using it.

    You'll always get a bunch of people who really like MS. I tried it a while back and found it way too slow, clunky interface and difficult to interpret.

    Well, to be honnest, I have been using it for almost 4 years now and I was very happy withh it, the thing that shocked me the other day and thats why I started this thread in the first place, was that I notice that they use Bing for pulling traffic and competition and not Google as before...? WHAT THE F***K? Thats why I think is no more useful. What the hell is Bing? (Read between lines). you cant get any smart long term decisions for your marketing efforts based on Bings results? Or you do?...

    Don't buy it! I have the full paid version and it's WORTHLESS just another goofy keyword rip off tool designed to do NOTHING. It's really pissing me off. Not just market samurai, but several other software tool that suck ass big time. Your effort and time is better spent on copywriting strategy.

    I've never bought a tool for keyword research. Keyword research takes two things:

    a) common sense
    b) Google Adwords Tool

    Unfortunately, most people lack A.

    If you're going to use this software, it actually helps to know something about real SEO. The software just automates the process, but you still need to know what's relevant about using it, otherwise your results will be very uninformed.

      Someone that knows about "real SEO", as you call it, knows that this tool is a worthless piece of crap. It provides nothing of value.

    So what's the best thing next to Samurai? Do you really need "a tool?" You can check out competition by yourself, you can use google keyword for keywords and search traffic (D'oh!), etc. Am I right, or I'm missing something.

    MS Still working fine for me. The SEO competition is still the best function within the tool!

      If you think that to be true, then you have no idea how to judge competition.

    Buying MS a long time ago was one of the best moves I ever made, why?

    Because the constant updating every time I used it and general slowness of the damn thing, forced me to learn how to do proper keyword research and check the SERP competition myself manually.

    The only reason this tool ever became popular was because of the commissions it generates for affiliates. Using it will cause a blinkered to KW research which is one of the most important skills you will ever learn for SEO
