Best Keyword Tools: Market Samurai & SemRush

A lot of people ask me what the best keyword tools on the market are. For me there’s only two that I consistently count on: Market Samurai and SemRush

Market Samurai

Market Samurai is software for your Mac or PC that streamlines all critical search engine marketing tasks, puts complete market intelligence at your finger-tips, takes away uncertainty, and gives you focus, direction and confidence in your internet marketing.

  • It slashes time wasted on tasks that don’t directly create results - allowing you to put your focus into the areas where you will receive the best returns for your unique online business;
  • It tells you exactly what you need to do next – by using decision-making data that is specific to your unique market – meaning you don’t get lost, confused or sidetracked – and every ounce of energy is effective;
  • AND it helps you complete critical internet marketing tasks faster, more easily and, efficiently, and achieve better results than ever before

This means you have the highest probability of success, in the shortest time, with minimal waste of effort.

Frankly, this tool has waaayyy too many features to discuss here.  Best bet is to just go download the free trial and try it for yourself.

SEMRush

SemRush is a great tool for:

  • Discovering competitors’ sites with common Google keywords
  • Getting a list of Google keywords for any site
  • Getting a list of AdWords keywords for any site
  • Checking your competitors landing-pages for SE and AdWords traffic
  • Investigating long-tail keywords for any domain
  • Getting estimated Search engine and AdWords traffic for any domain
  • See a sites’ spending for AdWords
  • Getting hidden related (and low-cost) keywords to optimize your AdWords campaign
  • Finding potential advertisers for any site
  • Finding potential traffic sellers for your site
So after you find your inital keyword set using Market samurai, you can expand it considerably using SEMRush by analyzing your competitors and the terms they are targeting.
Both of these tools save me an ENORMOUS amount of time so they should do the same for you. If you hav other keyword tools that you recommend, please leave us a comment below so we can check it out and post a future review.

    Thank you for the article!
    I used Market Samurai with SeoDigger a lot, and hoped to do the same with SEMrush, but wrote to Semrush support recently and they told me that this feature is not available now :( they say that we all need to contact Market Samurai on this issue, so i did, but seems that i have no luck =(
