Keyword Research without WordTracker

19 December, 2008

We’ve had a few issues lately with our Word Tracker account, so I thought I’d send you a quick video on a free tool you can use that will still give you the same stats as Word Tracker

Market Samurai - Product Keyword Research

4 November, 2008

I have been looking for the perfect product keyword research tool now for a few years, there are a lot of great tools out there, but not really any tool that brings it all together.  Well nothing that brings it all together like Market Samurai.

In previous times I would go to Wordtracker and use it to gather estimated traffic stats as an indication as to what keyword I should do further research on.  The problem with this has been that wordtracker is really only of use to me for traffic stats, not the other stats that I need when doing product keyword research.

For example when doing product keyword research I want to know about:

1.    Amount Of Traffic – Obviously this is important, the numbers of people searching for the keywords is an indication of consumer demand

2.    Number Of Competitors – The amount of other websites competing for my keyword, this gives me an indication of how difficult my potential keyword is to achieve number 1 position on search engines

3.    Amount Of Backlinks – Again this shows how difficult my potential competitor is going to be to beat

4.    SEO Rank – In days gone past this would have been just indicated by Page Rank but now with google

constantly updating it’s index it’s more than this.  Again this shows how difficult my potential competitor is going to be to beat

These are just a few things that I am looking for and in the past there was no real tool that allowed me to do this.  Don’t get me wrong there are some really useful tools like Aaron Wall’s Seo Book Keyword Research Tool and his SEO For Firefox Tool.

What Aaron has not achieved is combining the data of both (at least publicly).

Now with the wonders of technology it appears that we are making leaps and bounds towards achieving a tool that does this all and more.  The guys at Market Samurai have come up with one of the best keyword research tools.  Now by no means does it do EVERYTHING that I would wish of it, but it’s the closest thing yet.
