After joining Crowd Mountain I became acquainted with Market Samuarai, which is the gold standard of keyword research tools, as this is the keyword research tool used there. Let me just say, it is THE best keyword research tool. Period. Hands down, the winner.
There is much I could say about it, but the Market Samurai people already do an excellent job of this, so I’ll leave it to them to give you the details. This tool does a TON of stuff!
Today I got an email from the Market Samurai people saying they have it on sale for less than 48 hours. In truth, by the time you read this, there will probably be less than 24 hours left on the sale. GET IN ON IT!
Even if you think you cannot afford it, find a way to make it happen.
The only way you can get the sale price is to use this link. This is not an affiliate link. There is nothing in this for me. I just really believe in this product and encourage you all to invest in it.
The cost is just one-time, not reoccuring. Plus, the price will go up soon. Market Samurai is still in beta mode (don’t let that scare you, as it is very robust), and the price will be raised once they are out of beta.
If you read this too late to get in on the sale, then please know that, even at full price, this tool is more than worth it.
Do you already have Market Samurai? Please share your thoughts on it below.

I concur about market Samurai. It is the best program for IM that I have bought. I bought it at the full price of 147 dollars. The other nice thing about it is that you can do two separate installs with it. I have 1 on my main computer and 1 on my laptop.
GrinningFool,
I completely forgot about the two computer license. I love that I can have it on my desktop and my laptop. Thanks for mentioning that.

I have tried Wordtracker, Wordz(?spelling) on trial. I bought Micro Niche Finder and Market Samurai. I agree that Market Samurai is the best. It seems to do everything…it’s more than just keyword analysis. It helps you size up your competitors, even see their weaknesses so that you can determine how to make your site rank ahead of competitors. It offers content that you can use and rewrite or link to. Also, MS has more tools that are in development that will be free updates for all previous owners.
I like Micro Niche Finder a lot and it used to be my favorite before Market Samurai. Micro Niche Finder is the Skinny, while
Market Samurai is the fat. (I still use MNF when in a hurry. There are less choices, and it is quicker for me.
I only wish that Rochelle’s link was an affiliate link. (Rochelle, if people are like me that read your blog and receive help from you through it, then they love to buy through your affiliate links to show appreciation.-I try to buy through people I know whenever I need something….thanks for the time you give to this blog. Today, I came back to your posts on the wp plugin-Caffeinated Content since I am considering buying that. Your posts are so meaty and helpful. )
Julie,
Thank you for your kind words. What you wrote means a lot to me. I have always felt a bit awkward having affiliate links. (The only reason I even put a tip jar on my site was several people encouraged me to do so.)
I will say this, though. The only affiliate links I have on my site are to products that I truly believe in, not programs that I haven’t used and am simply trying to make a quick buck from. This site is more a labor of love than anything else, as the truth is that I hardly earn anything from it.
Rochelle
Your site is clearly a labor of love. Some of your posts take hours or even days to compile.
Anyone who reads your blog knows that donations are well deserved.
I still believe that you should have affiliate links for the products that meet your standards for excellence. These are the products that you give an in depth review for that surpasses the reviews on other sites like the Micro Niche Finder review or Caffeinated Coffeee review…products that you have bought and are using.
Rochelle, if you have affiliate links for a limited number of products like these, people like me would be so happy to buy through them. The way I see it…I would rather you get a portion of the sale (since your blog has been a great help to me) than have the product company get the whole amount. That way, I can reward you for your hard work on my behalf, but I don’t have to come up with additional monies for a donation.
Do any other readers feel this way? I don’t know for sure. Maybe you should ask for comments in a new post to take the pulse of your readers about this way of compensation for your work.
If you only include affiliate links for products that you whole-heartedly back and that you have used yourself, that makes all the difference.
Why not set up a link box in your sidebar that says, “Buy my favorite products here and support this blog.”
or
“Support this Blog”
“TOP TEN PRODUCTS”
Keep up the good work. I am making excellent progress thanks to you and others that patiently explain things to me.
Love you,
Julie
I agree. Market Samurai is the best keyword tool/niche finder(and much more!) so far. In combination with Web CEO a killer combo in my opinion.
I now use Market Samurai to find niches and good keywords and Web CEO to optimize my webpages.
I use micro niche finder to brainstorm some ideas and then run the keywords in Market samurai.
I love MS…I’d love to see the final product in action.
Interesting and thanks for the share!
