Full Market Samurai Review – Best Keyword Research Tool
When it comes to making money online, ensuring you do the best keyword research possible is essential.
What do I mean by ‘the best keyword research‘?
Well, it’s actually disarmingly simple but so many people get this wrong, so I thought I’d explain what my definition of that phrase is, along with the ways to do it effectively. Plus, I’m going to show you a tool you can buy which will put you miles ahead of the competition.
If you want to go straight to the Market Samurai Review, simply scroll down and watch the two videos below.
OK, so for me, good keyword research is all about finding keywords with the following attributes:
- You can rank highly for them relatively easily (with perhaps only a few hundred backlinks maximum).
- They are what the market is looking to buy, not information keywords.
- They are not confused with other possible uses. For example, some keywords are also names of products in other markets, so you need to be wary of these. For a great example of this, read this post and watch the video on Pat Flynn’s excellent blog.
- There are exact match domain names available upon which I can build targeted sites.
So, with that in mind the next obvious question is: What is the best keyword research tool?
Well, it’s worth saying that there are plenty of good free keyword research tools out there. When I first got started I used:
- Google’s Keyword Research Tool
- The SEO Book Keyword Tool – Go to Keyword Suggestion on the main page and you’ll find the keyword tool. You need to register but it’s free to do so.
However, both of these fall down because they don’t go far enough. You see, I want my keyword tool to tell me not just the amount of potential traffic (accurately), but also the value of that traffic. I would also like it to tell me what the phrase-to-broad-match ratio is, because this will determine how much ‘extra’ traffic I get from other similar searches and whether or not my keyword will get drowned out by those searches.
If it could tell me the competition I’m facing too, that would be awesome.
For me, the best keyword research tool is Market Samurai, because it does all of the above and tons more. I’ve been using it for a while and I have to say, I’m still regularly amazed by how good it is and how much quicker and more accurate it’s made my research.

Free Niche Research Tool
One of the most challenging parts of internet marketing (in my experience) is finding that target market to sell to.
Marketers refer to it as a ‘niche’ and it’s the key to ensuring your success. I found this out with my first product. I went into a big market (Twitter) with plenty of knowledge about the subject but very little knowledge about marketing. As a result, I was overwhelmed by massive competition.
Consequently, I had a great product but no truly targeted market to pinpoint.
A few days ago when researching my niche, a friend sent me a link to this free service:
I’ve been getting the e-mails from Scot, who runs Niche A Day for the past two days and even in that short time, I can see the massive value in his service.
Just today, he’s suggested a niche that I know about (through friends) which I never even considered tapping into.
He also provides a way in which you can drill down to find a really specific little niche that you could easily dominate.
The list of keywords he provides to go with the niche is invaluable for this, as it’s basically the first part of your keyword research, done for you.
If you’re new to internet marketing, or you’ve ever struggled with a niche, I’d suggest you take a look at this. Try it for a week (it’s free forever) and see if you can’t find a good little niche.
