Market Samurai can replace an entire team of SEO researchers.

I am a total, die-hard fan of this tool I used called Market Samurai. It is software that helps me analyze keywords. This tool gives you so much information, it is like having a huge team of SEO experts at your fingertips. I use it to get statistics about whether a keyword is good (in that it is actually searched for on the internet). I can also find out how good it is – such as, how often is it searched for and how many pages are already using it. Another awesome bit of detective work that Market Samurai does is it will show you the top 10 websites that rank for a keyword or keyword phrase. In other words, you can take a look at your competition before you even try to optimize for a phrase. This kind of research used to take hours or even days (and the results were still often vague). Now you can find your keywords quickly and the data associated with them (numbers of people, numbers of websites) is more accurate.

Spying on the competition in this way can alter your decision to use a particular phrase. You may find that the competition is too hard to beat – at least in the short term. Finding that out can make the difference between not having any traffic for a new site using a highly-competitive keyword phrase or getting some traffic by using less competitive phrases.

Don’t pay for keywords – Get some FREE!

Don’t let the cuteness of the samurai logo dissuade you from taking this software or these guys who created it seriously. They are at the cutting edge of the industry! I’ve told many friends about this tool – and that is because I think it rocks! Also, you can use it for a while for free and get free keywords. I honestly believe in this tool and have bragged on the creators many times in the past. Now I’m excited to have become an affiliate of theirs. I wanted to let you know about that and disclose it so that if you think my opinion is tainted by the fact that I might make a few dollars when someone uses the links on this page to purchase Market Samurai, then I can understand that. But I really want to assure you that just because I rave about it, you don’t have to take my word for it, you can try it for yourself. And there is no risk to try it, but you’ll  have access to tons of help with how to use the software. The training videos alone teach you good keyword research strategies and are worth watching.

Anyway, I could talk all day about why I love using a keyword research tool – and why I think Market Samurai is the best. But you can check it out for yourself and use their free trial.

A bit about the creators of Market Samurai: The company, Noble Samurai and their team have been into internet marketing for a while now. They actually developed their keyword research tool because they found the other products on the market hard to use and they felt there were too many gaps in the data – or the data was ambiguous and, therefore, not very helpful. I’ve heard them speak about how they created this and how to use Market Samurai and they are dedicated and smart. They actually understand the intricacies and importance of SEO and the use of keywords, as well as the frustrations of trying to get more traffic for websites.

So, I was introduced to using article marketing. The articles are unique articles and sometimes they are “spinned” which means they are rewritten using different words. Articles are spinned so that they can be shared to several websites for the other websites to use them as content. Spinning helps to avoid their being seen as “duplicate content” by the search engines.

So, I signed up for AMA, wrote some articles and those articles have keyword phrases that are links to some of my websites. Now I am slowly getting links to my websites and the ranking for those sites is getting better and better.

Details about Article Marketing Automation – You can put in as many articles as you want to with 3 links on each article. You also have to put some of your blogs in the system to recieve articles from other members. There are settings you use to indicate what niche you are in or what kind of article topics you want for your websites.

There is a built in article spinner that is so easy to use – AMA helps you rewrite your article so that all the sites that post your content will have a different version (no duplicates).

Well, I could write more, but if you are interested you can try out Article Marketing Automation for a month for free!  This is a great no-risk offer. So, if you are frustrated with not having enough backlinks or you really hate the article spinner you currently use – go try Article Marketing Automation.

If you have any trouble using the service, please contact me. I will show you how to do it!

 If any of you know about getting your websites or blogs ranked in search engines (meaning they show up in the first pages of search engines when people search for specific search words or phrases), then you know you need to have links to your site to rank well. So, there are 2 main ways to get these links to your website.

1. Manual links
2. Leveraged links

Manual Links

Manual linking is done by adding your websites as favorites in social bookmarking sites such as Digg, Delicious, Stumbleupon and others. In the past many people did link exchanges to get links. Link exchanges are not popular now – partly due to the fact that they are 2-way links (I link to you and you link to me) which tend to cancel out each other as far as the search engines see them. That means they have little value. More valuable links are 1-way links. They come from a site to yours but you don’t link back to that same website. Other manual links are internal links you can create from one page of your website to another page.

Leveraged Links

One definition of leverage is “exert power or influence on.”  That is what leveraged links do – the increase the power or influence of your website. The best links to get are 1-way links from other websites to your site or your blog. But the better 1-way links would be from sites with high authority (those that have earned search engine trust by having many backlinks, domain age and higher Google page rank or PR) – these are leveraged links and they pass some of the authority to your website.

In a nutshell, having a link from a website with high google PR is equal to many links from non-authority websites. So, the strategy should be to find ways to get those high authority websites to link to your website. 

Link Building Strategies

The link building strategies I am using include social bookmarking, posting to other people’s blogs (with valuable comments – not spammy ones), and using content to generate links – such as with Article Marketing Automation (read the review), which I still highly recommend.

Link building with leveraged links is hot topic right now and I’m sure that I’ll be adding more about this strategy in the future.
