Is market Samurai still worthwhile?

[junkiepipes]

I have considered SEO Powersuite though reading through their confusing sales terms it appears that there is a monthly free in addition to the initial upfront price. is this true?

If you looking for an alternate though I would defiantly recommend Seo Powersuite. I've recently purchased it and have been blown away with it's features.

If you don't want to pay for market samurai you can still use trials over and over again.

does that work? isnt the copy protectio based on the PC key?

Just use google free keywords tool.

It's the direct source and best of all: it's free.

Just tried SEO powersuite again yesterday, and man they really changed the interface and how they display the data... I can't see I like it. It used to be nicely laid out but now it's looks like a jumbled mess. you have to scroll so many pages to find what you are looking for. They also used to have a table system like MS to show competition of all the different related site, now again it seems to be displayed over so many pages it really useless. This tools is off my radar for now...

Any recommendations to a good competition evaluation tool? that lays things out as MS does but with better more relevant data?

Just use google free keywords tool.

It's the direct source and best of all: it's free.

I used their rank tracker for several months.

It's highly professional software.

But the price..

monthly fees...

It seems some people still like MS, but it is really not a good deal for $97 bucks?

 

[seomax]

as other have pointed out it used to be a good tool. But last time I used it it was still in Beta, and that was I think 3 years later I bought it..let's just say they had a great software, but nowadays is been surpassed by competitors.

why the hell its on adobe air I will never know. I'm still trying to figure out how to mass import keywords and check them all, opening tabs for keywords is slow and annoying.

 

[rockong]

ha I still like it it's useful for what I have to do. It can certainly be quicker, but what can ya do

If you already own it it's worth using.
If you don't - there are better options.
Most of the best cost a few bucks.

Scritty, can you give your advice for keyword research tools?
Following you closely these days, thanks.

Ultimate Niche Finder is the best keyword research tool i've ever used. So simple, easy to use and amazing.

It lacks some features but i love it.

Yeah. A lot of replies here saying that there are better options, but not identifying what those might be.

Be nice if you guys could provide more detail as to what and why.

Thanks!

I got the free trial lastnight. Dont think much of it to be honest. The competition module is the only worthwile thing. The post module seems ok

Yes, i ditto this answer.

I have used the MS too for about a year, before 'penguin' happened and it helped me a lot. But when they announced that they will be moving into BING + the sudden results cap/limitations, i immediately stopped using it except for the competition module. Now after a year of taking IM off. I'd like to know which tools are far better and accurate than MS... I remember that when they released keyword scout it got may positive reviews.

Nah, not at all. It's very, very slow for any serious amount of work. Maybe good for a couple of sites but nothing more than that -- there are better and faster tools out there.

Can anyone else please suggest some newer alternatives to MS? Been out of the SEO game for a while and looking for a nice program to get started with

We use a combination of Google Keyword Tool and Ultimate Niche Finder. Works well enough for our purposes.

Reading is fundamental.

Wouldn't say everything is worthwhile on market samurai.

I use it for the SEO Competition Module, and i use long tail pro for everything else + majestic SEO.


Other then that, it's painfully slow. By the way... Long tail pro is mega fast!!!

+1 for long tail pro

it is available on wf with free 10days trial offer.
