    Hi

    I am working my way through the 30 day challenge just now but I had market samurai before I started and the trial is over.

    Is it worth my while buying the full product?

    Or, can you provide alternate recommendations?

    Cheers
    Colin

    Yeah I think it is. And others who take the time to use it. I wish it would show the PR of the backlinks, but that can be researched manually. Another software that's popular is MicroNicheFinder for those with less patience.

    It's definitely worth it! It's a program that I use almost daily. It makes finding keywords and checking out your competition at a glance a snap.

    Just to let you know, if you sign up for the free trial, then you'll get a pretty decent discount on the program versus paying full price.

    Colin, first ask for samples, tips, so you can see for yourself.

    I, and many other reputable marketers do this.

    This is common.

    There is so much shit out there, it does not matter how many say that it is good.

    You can have a bunch of dumbass noobs saying it is good, but they haven't even started it yet! Or, they have, but they are still dead in the water.

    Ask for samples first.

    From what I have seen, though, it is just your normal ol' site, with normal ol' advice that can be read here, a thousand times over.

    Me too. I have not used it personally, but everyone I know who has, raves about it.

    Thanks for this.

    Does anyone have any examples? Or are there recommendations on other products I should try first? Does Micro Niche Finder pretty much do the same thing?

    It would be ideal if someone has used multiple products like this and could recommend from there

    I use both tools.

    They are both worth the money if you are capable of transforming the data to visitors.

    If I could only have one it would be Market Samurai. MNF is great and for people who have no idea how to find a niche it is a tool that can get you there.

    Market Samurai is a tool that helps you analyze the keywords a bit more in depth, check out your competition and even find some sites you can post your link and even has a cool ad writer that works well for those a bit challenged in that area.

    Market Samurai has a bit of a learning curve but videos are right to the point and you could be up and running within an hour or two.

    So if you looking for niches use MNF.

    If you want to analyze keywords, competitors and have a tool that will also help with backlinks and ads.

    The irony you can do most of what these tools do for free that is fine if you have more time than money. What would take me hours checking out a niche and competitor can be done in 5-15 minutes.

    There are many examples of keyword research and SEO competition with this product on youtube.
    Once you actually see it in action I'm sure you will be able to make a more informed decision.

    reapr, you are doing more selling than showing examples.

    I'm still amazed at people.

    If a bucket of shit shot rainbows out, it's "great!"

    Get a Adwords' program up and running, and Google will actually help you with everything you need to know, cyoung75. Mainly, though, providing you a list of the most popular keywords.

    What exactly are you trying to acheive?

    And as for competitors...what do you really need to know about them???

    I'm in marketing, SEO, copywriting, writing and selling info on dating and sex....and I am surrounded by the competition. But who cares? I don't need to know that much about them. I just need to be better than them at advertising, promoting and having a nicer-looking site.

    Besides, do a keyword search on the most typed in keywords, and there are your competitors, right there. Go look at their sites, do a backlink check, and whatnot.

    Done.


    From this guy's site:

    Bullshit!

    Yes, you can get traffic, but it is not in the hundreds. And "thousands" is just a flat out lie!

    You simply cannot get that much traffic from a search engine from each particular keyword.

    The only exception would be through Adsense.

    That, by itself tells me this guy is full of shit.

    Nobody can guarantee, this.

    Even Google will tell you this.

    It's like I thought: Just another shit site that takes advantage of the stupid, the vulnerable, the noobs.

    I haven't checked, but is THAT site ranked high???

    Is HE practicing what he is preaching?

    Nice tits, er, I mean, beer, prophet.
