Pros

Strong Keyword Research And SEO Capabilities – This is the bread and butter of Market Samurai so it should not be much of a surprise that this feature gets the top billing. The Keyword Research module basically allows you to explore niches and easily target and identify the most profitable keywords -- and it is pretty effective.
Unique Tools – In addition to the impressive keyword and SEO capabilities, there are also a handful of unique tools that should be of great value to bloggers, or anyone using a content management system, for that matter.
One-time Payment – Unlike some tools within the same category, there is no recurring fee in order to access Market Samurai's tools. You pay once then you are all set. In addition, any and all future updates are free so you won't have to pay more in order to get access to new, updated tools.
Works On Multiple Platforms – The great thing about being built on Adobe AIR is that Market Samurai can work on multiple platforms. Whether you are using a Windows PC, an Apple Mac, or a Linux-based machine, you will be able to take advantage of the software's suite of SEO tools.

Cons

Limited To 10 Keywords – Due to being resource intensive, Market Samurai's Rank Tracker feature only allows 10 keywords for the standard version. There is, however, a solution to this, but it will involve you paying a monthly fee because of the fact that the developers are using an outside service for the data.
Can Sometimes Be Slow And Sluggish – There is an apparent sluggishness when handling large amounts of data that can be felt when using the software, especially on slower computers. A minor complaint, to be sure, that will hopefully be fixed by the, thankfully, frequent updates.

The Tools of the Trade

As previously mentioned, Market Samurai offers a wide array of useful tools. These include the Monetization Module, Find Content Module, Promotion Module and the Publish Content Module. The Monetization Module brings back lists of available affiliate programs from Clickbank, Amazon, PayDotCom, and other affiliate networks. Find Content gives you the ability to find content from some of the biggest article directories, blogs, or news sites on the internet. It gives you detailed information such as backlinks, keyword density, date published, and how many copies of have already been published. For some directories, it automatically extracts articles in a state that is ready to publish. This is an invaluable tool because, as we know, content is king. Once you find content to publish on your website, the Promotion Module can help you look for places to advertise your content. Finally, Publish Content lets you seamlessly publish to WordPress.

Keyword Research and SEO

Market Samurai’s keyword research capabilities are pretty impressive. In addition to allowing you to explore niches and identify profitable keywords, they also provide a SEO Competition module which shows a list of current top ranking websites on Google for a specific keyword. This may seem like such a basic feature because it is only half of the equation. The other, more significant, half is that Market Research’s SEO Competition module tells you whether you have a chance of beating the current top ranking websites. It doesn’t matter if you have identified which keywords to tackle if you have no chance of unseating the current cream of the crop. With this feature, you now have a better chance to do so.

Payment and Beta

Beta

It is important to note that, as of this writing, Market Samurai is technically still in its beta phase, despite being market-ready in terms of usability. A brief note from the developers state that once the final version releases, the price of the software will go up to reflect the true value of all the tools combined. Be aware, however, that this may be a marketing tactic.

Payment Method

As of this writing it is unclear whether you can, or cannot, purchase Market Samurai using major credit cards. This is because upon clicking on the “Buy Full Version” button, you are immediately redirected to a PayPal payment page.

Pricing

For only a single, one-time payment of $149 you get access to Market Samurai’s whole suite of keyword research and SEO tools. These include SEO Competition Analysis, Keyword Research, Domains (a recently added feature that helps you find new, expiring, or dropped domain names), Monetization Module, Find Content Module, Publish Content Module, and the Promotion tool. This also grants you lifetime access to future Market Samurai updates. Additionally, you can download a free trial of the software in exchange for your name and email. How functional, or even how long, you can use this free trial is, unfortunately, unclear as the website never goes into much detail. In any case, it is a nice bonus especially for those who just are interested but unsure if it is the right tool for them.

Customer Support

Unfortunately, as of this writing, there is no way to contact Market Samurai’s support team via phone. Instead, you have to submit a support ticket to the staff in order to voice your concerns. Upon purchasing the product, however, you will get priority email support to receive a personalized response.

Should you require further guidance, there is also a knowledge base, appropriately called the Dojo, where you can find relevant answers to your questions, as well as introductions, tutorials, and instructions for troubleshooting and setting up the software. There are also a handful of short, but informative, video tutorials to fully ensure that you are well equipped before using Market Samurai.

Market Samurai Review 2020 – Conclusion

For website owners, ranking high in search engine results means more traffic going to them. And, of course, more traffic means more business which, in turn, leads to more profits.

However, ranking high in Google, Bing, and Yahoo is not easy and involves a lot of work. Thankfully, Market Samurai helps lighten that burden with its strong keyword research and SEO capabilities, as well as unique tools for easily finding and publishing content. If you are still on the fence regarding this product, there is a free trail available, but for only a one-time payment of $149 you probably won’t find a better deal.
