Anybody using Market Samurai? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Anybody using Market Samurai to work with your keyword strategy?  Any opinions positive or negative on this software?

I don't use it, and never have, but they've apparently gone downhill over the last couple of months, not keeping up with changes to Google's listings.  The rank tracking has supposedly gone to crap.

I use Traffic Travis.   V4 started out kind of rocky, but it's solid software, now.

I tried. Didn't find it very user friendly or useful. John, who is the techie of the two of us is seriously considering scrapping it going back to Goodle addwords. Jai, thought it is great though.

I used it all the time when I was researching niche sites like crazy, now I mainly use the rank tracker. They have implemented fixes to counter some of the recent Google changes (which shut down scroogle and even hurt most browser SEO plugins). I think it is still worth it because it combines a lot of different tasks and saves time.

They offer a free trial, so you can use it first before making a purchase (it is actually cheaper to do the trial first as you get a discount). Of course, I have an affiliate link (feel free to ignore): http://knsfinancial.com/go/mar…..etsamurai/

I used it a lot when it first came out. I had purchased the full version while doing the 30-Day Challenge. It was OK, but it wasn't really anything  Earth shattering. The engineers had to constantly upgrade the software to keep up with Google. It used to have a cost feature that would give you that value of each keyword. But the values were changing so much so quickly, that they had to scrap that feature. Now, it appears that nobody is talking about MS. As for me, it's right back to Google Adwords, which has been working for me all along.

Google adwords keyword tools is my go to and for keywords terms.  If you're looking for immediate topics/keywords that people are searching for on Google now, try Google Insights.  You can break down the most recent searched topics by country, time and topic category.  It's a great start when you're stumped on a post topic and want immediate search visitors.  Plus you can check if those topics have annual trends and plan for them in the future.

I have had the same experience as Khaleef. I used it all the time when I was researching niche sites and starting new sites. Now I mainly use the rank tracker feature in it.

Yes I love it. I also got it for free. Check it out…
