Today we have a guest writer on our Blog. Allan Poole will introduce you to the keyword research tool, Market Samurai. Next time, I will go into some more specific detailed examples of using the keyword research module on your list of areas of interest that you have come up with since our last Blog post.
Now, let’s hear from Allan.
Every Internet marketing campaign starts with extensive keyword research. As such, it makes sense to find a user-friendly, efficient tool to do so. This article will look into one of the more popular, up-and-coming market research tools available today – Market Samurai.
Ed Dale’s 30-Day Challenge in 2008 saw the release of this much anticipated and highly discussed Internet marketing software. It received glowing reviews, even though it was only its beta testing phase. Over the last year, it has only continued to improve with each update, and today is perhaps the most powerful Internet marketing tool available, and the benchmark for keyword research.
The software was developed by a team of Internet marketers based in the Noble Samurai offices in Melbourne, Australia. The team, including the well-known Internet marketer Brent Hodgson, grew tired of using second-rate market research tools, and all of the inaccurate and vague data supplied by them.
What Is Market Samurai?
Market Samurai does so many different things that it’s hard to put it in to just one category, but basically it is a fully equipped, user-friendly market research tool. By using it, you can research any market and quickly and efficiently find potentially profitable keywords to use in your campaign. The amount of data you get is incredibly useful for analyzing a market. Not only is there specific data about each keyword, but you can then go a step further and learn about the competition for those keywords. A few clicks of the button and you can instantly see how difficult it will be to get into any given market.
Market Samurai Features
As amazing as the keyword research aspect of Market Samurai is, it is only one of the many features that make this software such a powerful marketing tool. The Noble Samurai team is constantly releasing new modules to add to this already incredible program.
Rank Tracker, one of the recently released modules for Market Samurai, allows you to track the ranking of your websites based on any keywords that input. This data can then be displayed as a graph for easy performance analysis.
Another of the highly useful tools is the SEO Competition module. As mentioned before, this tool allows you to see just how much competition, and more specifically, how fierce this competition is for any given keyword. Market Samurai then gives you various data, such as the number of back links to each site, onsite SEO factors, page rank and age, and much more. By analyzing this data you can then determine how difficult it will be to get into a market.
Other modules include one for finding related content to your keyword, and a promotion module for finding related forums and blogs for you to post on and create back links to your website. Anyone who has been in the Internet marketing business before will know just how important back linking to your site is when it comes to gaining traffic and being indexed in the search engines.
As if all of these features weren’t enough, the two most recent additions to the Market Samurai platform add even more value to the software. The Monetization module allows the user to find relevant products to promote through the four major online sources for affiliate products – Amazon, ClickBank, Commission Junction, and Pay Dot Com. You can then put adverts together using information from the sale pages of the products.
Another useful feature is the Publish Content module, which allows you to edit, and then publish content straight to your desired website. You can then add the new blog to both traffic-bug and Market Samurai’s rank tracker feature.
There has also been an AdWords module announced which sounds like it will be based around efficiently using Google Adwords. The exact details of this new module haven’t been released yet, but I’m sure it won’t disappoint, if the other fantastic modules of Market Samurai are anything to go by.
Conclusion – Market Samurai Is A Must Have Internet Marketing Tool
It’s quite difficult to do this great software package justice in such a short article, but I hope you can see just how beneficial it can be when it comes to market research. In the end, there really is no doubt that Market Samurai is a must have if you are at all serious about Internet marketing.
