market samurai seo competition not working: keyword scout

If your market samurai seo competition was not working recently, time to try keyword scout.

What is keyword tool:scout?

As you have been looking all over the internet for opportunities to make some good passive income, and earn online through a blog or amazon, you have probably read about many tools that will help you.

One of them is something that helps you scraping. To scrape means, automatically copy and paste a lot of information or key words that you specify, from a web page of your choosing. example: Amazon.

What that does is that you research your market or product, build a free blogger or wordpress site, with content scraped about that product, from articles that are related to what you will propose to sell to your readers.

It makes it not only easier but faster for you. Now what if I told you that for years, the only good tool to find a related domain name, a good niche or market to attack, a great product that people don't really compete in, was the noble market samurai?

Now how about, that this tool not only used most of the google key word features in a very spammy but also laggy way, it bugged and was rarely updated?

Hence why now you have:

key word spy on amazon

Ok so maybe this key word tool is not like the keyword spy. For those of you using these many techniques to scrape google and to also scrape amazon for ideas or even just content; you will quickly see a difference.

The scout vs the Spy is not a fair comparison. I suggest to try and bundle both of the tools for all your marketing efforts when building niche sites or blogs.

The spy vs the market samurai... even then we aint talking about apples and apples. It also depends how advanced one is in their site building and niche market content generating: Do you write your own rich content posts or pages? Do you just scrape amazon or google content and fill in the blanks?

I Suggest you always try to write 500 to 1000 words with very unique content, then re read your site and post, then plug in, from the key word tool scout's suggestions, words in between phrases.

So far im still on this review, not sure about maybe writing my comparison about the Spy tool vs the Scout tool, and Market Samurai... but will see.

Best Key Word tool of the year 2012: Scout or Spy or Samurai

Best Key Word tool: Scout or Spy or Samurai, of the year 2012.

tool by Josh Macdonald (macdonjo copyright)

Hi, there! We really fancy ourselves with the best title we could find :) In our opinion, based on the keyword scout reviews on facebook, and its community that is non affiliated with the maker: there once WAS only 1 tool to scrape amazon and google with.

That tool was the Noble Market Samurai. All we can say is:

Market Samurai is so 2005 passé

Then there was and we can easily say still is, The keyword SPŸ. It does a little bit of different things then the scout software. so for our niche sites in 2012, and also all our monetized blogs and content, we still use both.

But as for Market Samurai vs Key word SPY we say:

Keyword Spy is so 2010! lol

So where is the future of keyword scraping heading? How is the nich market site building revolutionized in 2012? What is the best key word tool online this year?

Well not to sound like a car sales person, not to guide you to a tool that you dont need and make you buy a software that you won't use, we suggest you check the community built review site on facebook.

Yes the Keyword Reviews by people like you and me are now online in an open community on Facebook. You can easily leave your comments and questions, rants and frustrations, doubts and scam reports, hear opinions from previous market samurai users that switched to the keyword scout and why.

What is there to think about? Read for yourself.

Scout and Spy you little Samurai :)

keyword scout vs market samurai

Keyword scout and Market samurai: the simplest review.

tool by : josh macdonald

So to make a review very simple, there is a bunch of check marks put into sentences that have to be done.

Can the Market Samurai automatically check the Warrior Forum Sales Thread? Unfortunately No. As opposed to the Keyworscout tool, it can. (MS-0 vs KS-1)

When Scraping, The Keyword tool can remove brand names very fast. The market samurai software cannot.(MS-0 vs KS-2)

Both tools help you out to scrape the Google Keyword Tool. (MS-1 vs KS-2)

Is the Market Samurai open for addons in the future? They do software updates, but not like the keyword scout.(MS-2 vs KS-3) yeah I gave MS a point also.

How about having a Built-in Proxy Scraper? Thats a NO for MS, Yes for KeywordScout. (MS-2 vs KS-4)

Another advantage of the keyword scout tool: it has less graphics and is made built also for speed, being light weight, and it increases stability. No points given here, just a remark.

So far I have noticed that the Market Samurai is a bit slower. Trying to be objective here, no points, just a remark.

One other obvious feature: amazon keyword scraper finding product keywords. A major research and content building helper, for the keyword scout software only. (MS-2 vs KS-5)

The KS can check for an exact .com/.net/org match. Can the Market Samurai do that?

Because i was a market samurai user for over 2 years, it was hard for me to keep counting the points in this battle, or comparison. Also because I just started using the keyword scout, and writing a review on it, I tried to be fair.

Can i say that hands down, the keyword scout is the best tool out there? Well I am still using it, so far so good. Will i let go of any other software because of that, not yet. But now that it has come down on the price, it is why i gave it a shot. the best thing you can do is use it yourself and tell me what you think.

-Happy Keyword scraping. :)

Make Money with Keyword Scout Affiliate program

Make Money with the Keyword Scout Affiliate Program

tool by: Josh Mcdonald (macdonjo, Macdonald).

If you were unsure, and sat on the fence until today and have asked yourself if you should purchase the Keyword Scout tool or not, than here is another reason to do so now:
  • Keyword Scout is now sharing its affiliate program to everybody! Not only the one who is an owner of the full version!
Why that? Because they believe in a) rewarding loyal customers and b) want honest, review-style promotion approaches that are delivered by real users of the software.
How to get into the Keyword Scout Affiliate Program:
  • Sign up for your free Keyword Scout Trial here (only a valid email address required, nothing else)(if available).
  • If you like what you see, buy Keyword Scout (Hint: The earlier in your trial period you buy it, the cheaper you get it.)(No longer applies as of march 27 2012, instead the price went down, again!)
  • You will receive your affiliate code in Clickbank
  • Start promoting a great piece of software and get paid a great commission on every sale you refer.
That was the short list, now a little bit about my personal review as a Keyword Scout Affiliate (before you ask, I was following its developpement since late 2011) and a bit about the attractive affiliate rewards.

How much money can you make being a Keyword Scout Affiliate?
Keyword scout is one of the highest paying programs in the market, you get a huge commission per sale. Depending on if someone bought it before or after the rebates, or applied a coupon, I still think the comissions are great. As Keyword Scout offers a full, no questions asked, 60 days money back warranty, you will get paid your commission after this time frame is over. At the start of each month, the nice people at Keyword Scout, count up all of the sales generated by you that are 60 days old or older (and exclude any refunds) (that is what i understood so far from that affiliate program), and pay you the resulting amount in commissions via check on the adress registered with clickbank. Any sales that are less than 60 days old (and therefor still inside the refund period) will be paid in the following month.

My personal experience as a Market Samurai Affiliate
No, I am not allowed to say how much I made exactly with this program (but I am making a good passive income, good money, plus I own now one of the best niche and SEO tools on the market). Here is a bit of my experience with them:

I bought Keyword Scout tool in march of 2012 after doing a long and thorough research on a niche, keyword and seo tools. I decided on the Keyword Scout tool, because it was simply the best, it was available in both Mac and Windows editions (i think, because i have a mac and it works) and was sold for one, low, price (197$ back then) that includes lifetime updates. I opted for that option instead of the monthly payements of around 40$ back then. Many other, similar, tools out there require a much higher monthly payment and are not available for Mac. Now, I am using a Windows PC at work as my desktop computer and also a Windows laptop, well you know what? For that price I was able to download, install and activate the many different versions of Keyword Scout tool for my computers. That is what I call great customer service, bang for the buck, deal.. Soon after having test driven the software, I started to tell all my other blogger firends about the reviews and feautres it had. I spread the word about it, yeah, I kinda admit that I was a Keyword scout fan girl from the very beginning – and still am one. After only 1 week, I verified if they actually had an affiliate program. :)

Until now, joining the Keyword Scout affiliate program was only possible if you were in the right "in" crowd, like forums or closed circle of friends. No need for an invitation like the other tools out there. Since march 2012 I have been actively promoting the Keyword Scout tool, both on this blog and elsewhere on the internet. And of course, the links here in this blog post help me and my newly wedded wife of 25 to try and recuperate the cost of a wedding, and getting ready for a baby, maybe soon. These are affiliate links. ;) My experience in these few months has been so far:
  • Keyword Scout practically sells itself due to the attractive offers (last time i heard they lowered the price again).
  • The support of the guys is amazing, both from a user as from a affiliate marketer perspective. You always get a real answer, they never let you down. Real people that actually care about their tool, and are passionate to help you build strong content.
  • And, last but not least, they pay on time!

Why is key word scout such a great affiliate program?
A lot of tools on the internet are sold with the help of affiliate programs. Meaning that the companies do little or even no direct ads, they just share the money they earn per sale with the person that referred the buyer to them. Keyword Scout is not only sold with a “60 days money back, no questions asked” warranty, but also with (possibly, unknown as of march 2012) free trial period of a few days. And that is the big selling point!

People are more inclined to download and test drive a program for free or at a rebated price, than paying for it full price and hoping to get their money back if they don’t like it. If you join the gagn of Keyword Scout Tool affiliates, the one most important tip I can give you from my experience is to promote the new 100$ rebate heavily. People need only to provide a valid email address, nothing else and can then try the software for free for a few days. Plus, even if they don’t buy the full version right away, the keyword research tool, stays available for life (to be verified as of the review in march 2012). They get to enjoy the seo, content, promotion and other feautures of the tool .
 
The next reason you should know is that Keyword Scout tool does the whole follow up for you. Means they send people additional emails with tips on how to use the software more effectively etc. (if you join the facebook community here. Its important to note that they don’t spam people into buying their product, they add so much value to it, with training material, videos, blog posts etc that being in their facebook community is beneficial for everybody, users and not users of the best keyword scout tool. If you have your own email list, membership site, feedburner or blog, they are happy to either help you promote the tool or to even bring a campaign to life just for you (if your list has a certain size).

If you are just a normal blogger like me, starting out affiliate marketer like me in an obscure or competitive niche market, the best thing you can do to be successful is to use banners, links, custom links, your blogs, and even posts on facebook to promote the new 100$ rebate.

Providing you with a real passive income possibility.

Conversion Rate
Keywordscout tool, has, and I have no reason to doubt it, atleast an average of 20-25% of the people that are refered by your link to their sales pitch page, end up buying the product. If you have been longer then a few days wondering about affiliate marketing than you know that is a superb ratio!

And none of the people I recommended Keyword scout tool, came ever back to me and regretted buying it.

If you use one of the following techniques, chances are 100% that you loose your affiliate account, so:
  • Do not use any black hat techniques, spam,  cookie-stuffing, lies, other dirty coding tricks, scams or similar.
  • Avoid the use of ads or promos that start with “Keyword Scout tool is a scam” because they will stop you.
If you stay honnest and sincere, you will be rewarded, try to deceive people and you will be quicker out of the affiliate program than you can : sorry.
