I have tried the both the paid and the trial version before. It works great. But now that I have installed another trial version, I can no longer find the SEO tracker for the trial version.

Hey Andy,
just going through your new version of creating fat content, and it has inspired me to get back into building some niche sites, I am kinda having some difficulty though following the older tutorials seeing how MS has changed so much since these vids were made, any chance of some new up to date vids covering the same topics?
or…
Can you share what columns you use now instead of the columns that are no longer available in MS and what specifically you look for in the new columns.
Thanks.

On the subject of differences in the latest version of MS, I see that there is now a Google Index Count (IC) column which it didn’t have at the time of your video.
How important do you think this is, as there normally seems to be some very big numbers and a lot of red?

Also, I notice that spyfu and MS report some very different numbers for daily searches – who do you tend to believe?

thanks

Hi Andy,

Thanks for a very informative video. Having decided on the micro niche “foldup treadmills” how would you go about constructing the site? Do these type of sites have one article on the main page or do they have other article pages? Do you use WordPress with pages and no categories?

Many thanks,

Brenton

Cant say I agree. You’ll only be found for phrases and words that are on your site in the first place. Keyword research must come before building the site.

Best way to find great keywords will be to build a website with a low competition keyword and monitor website logs for keywords which users typed to arrive at your site.Who knows you might stumble upon a golden nugget

It really is a shame the column was lost. I now look at Adwords Competition column instead for a rough guide, but check everything I am interested in over at Spyfu.com who do give you a figure for number of advertisers.

Andy,

Since the beginning of December AWA (Adwords Advertisers) is no longer available on Market Samurai. Under the Knowledgebase link on this page http://www.noblesamurai.com/support/ is now the following short statement:

“Where has AWA gone?

Unfortunately the Google service which we used to get AWA data is no longer available. As a result we have been forced to remove it from Market Samurai. As soon as we are able to find a similar data source to replace the Google service we will return this functionality to Market Samurai.”

As AWA forms a cornerstone of your technique for discovering microniches does this mean that the technique is now obsolete, or is there a way to get round this?

Thanks,

Simon

Hi Andy,

Thanks for all the great videos. My question is regarding the SEOTCR versus the results on the SEO Competition results. If the SEOTCR is high but there is a lot of green and gold in the SEO Comp results, what would be a good approach? Also what is considered a low or medium number for SEOTCR?

Thanks for your help, I’m still new to this and got hit in the head too much playing rugby so I struggle a bit

No Rick, SEOC is not as important as SEOTC or SEOTCR. SEOC is just a count of pages that include the phrase somewhere, not pages that are optimized for the phrase. You would expect a page that is optimized for a phrase (and therefore more difficult to beat) to have the phrase in the title, no? Enter SEOTC!
