In my post recently, let me tell you a secret, I told you about Market Samurai and explained that it is one of my most used tools when I’m exploring for keywords to use to promote this or any other web site.

I also use it to track how my sites are tracking in relation to other sites targeting the same keywords.  Using this tool I have been able to rank at #1 in Google for a number of keywords and, as a side benefit, I also rank #1 or #2 for many of those keywords in Yahoo and Bing.

Bottom line here is that this tool works and you really should do yourself a favour and at least give it a try, it does have a demo mode that isn’t crippled in any way so you can give it an absolute hammering for the demo period.

The Market Samurai team have an ongoing series of training videos and blog which teach you in simple steps exactly how to take advantage of the power of Market Samurai.  They call this the dojo, maintaining the samurai theme.  It’s a bit cutesy but it is excellent training.

Examples of the training available are

• Introduction to Keyword Research
• Golden Rule #1: How to Find Relevant Keywords
• Golden Rule #2: How to Find High Traffic Keywords
• Golden Rule #3: How to Assess Market Competition
• Golden Rule #4: How to Assess Commerciality
• Golden Rules Case Study
• Finding Long Tail Keywords
• Understanding Match Type Data

In addition to the video they also provide a transcript of the video and you can download both the video and a pdf of the transcript.

I trust you appreciate how brilliant this is for a training session.  As you probably already know we all learn in different ways, some by watching, some by reading and some by doing.  I have often paused their video so I can try the same exercise on my computer to compare the results.

They have seriously good training, I think it’s worth the cost of the software on it’s own but it is a no cost addition and it’s not static, they keep adding more.

Try it out for yourself, download it here and try it out.

By the way, if you do happen to buy it I might get a commission but I would recommend Market Samurai even if I didn’t, it’s just that good.
