Free Keyword Tracker - purchase or not?

Shel,
I don't have that problem. That is odd.

Shelle - You can use the free version of market samurai. The keyword section is fully functional

[AlexNewell]

I think what that means is that they give you a fully functioning Market samurai with all sections turned ON for x days. After that they prompt you to pay.

If, like me , you don't pay they turn OFF all the sections of market samurai except the keyword research section.

But that is the important section as far as I'm concerned so I'm not bothered.

BTW here is another free keyword tool that also does competitive analysis http:
//www.traffictravis.com/

When traffic travis analyses the top 20 sites for the keyword you give it, it grades the task of getting a top position as 1 to 5 stars and also gives you a simple score. A keyword I analysed today came out as "Relatively easy"

That's the ones I like

:-)

There is also a pro version of traffic travis but the only difference is that you can save the results in a file.

I love traffic travis and I have the pro version because i got it free when I bought Commission Ritual.

"Market Samauri. The software requires a bit of a learning curve, "

Yes it does. On the upside when you get keyword and competition research done correctly everything you do will work; getting this wrong like most people do...well nothing much will work.

Jeannette - if you only want to market to specific countries or even states or cities, you'll want to use paid advertising through Google Adwords and created targeted geographical ad campaigns.

WordTracker results (and most keyword research results) are global. WordTracker results in the Free Keywords Tool are the approximate number of searches by day across the major search engines.

I've never been locked out of the tool, but I have never done 30/hour either...
