Kung ka na sinubukan upang ilunsad at gamitin Market samuray sa huling ilang araw makikita mo napansin na may mga malalaking lugar ng pag-andar na ay nasira.
Ano ang nangyari?
Tulad ng alam mo, Market samuray pulls data mula sa dose-dosenang iba't ibang mga tagapagbigay ng data ng paghahanap sa gayon na mayroon ka ng lahat ng data na kailangan mo sa isang solong lugar upang masulit ng matalinong mga pagpapasya tungkol sa iyong mga pagkakataon sa online marketing.
Upang makuha ang data na ito madalas naming kailangan upang isagawa malaking bilang ng mga query sa paghahanap at sa pamamagitan ng libreng serbisyo tulad ng Google, Yahoo! o Bing sa ngalan ng aming mga gumagamit.
Halimbawa, sa pagsubaybay ang mga ranggo para sa kahit na ang ilang mga keyword ay maaaring mangailangan ng libu-libong mga paghahanap. Sa pamamagitan ng gumaganap mga query na ito sa iyong ngalan, gamit ang aming mga server, namin nai-save mo na oras, araw o kung minsan kahit na linggo ng oras kung ihahambing sa paggawa ng mga query na ito sa pamamagitan ng kamay.
Ilang araw na nakalipas, ang Google na ginawa ng ilang mga makabuluhang mga teknikal na pagbabago sa mga serbisyo nito na gawin itong imposibleng mapagkakatiwlaan gumanap malaking bulto ng libreng mga query.
Bilang malaking bahagi ng Market samuray kasalukuyang gumagamit ng Google serbisyo, ito ay pansamantalang sira sa hanay ng mga pag-andar sa Market samuray (at mga kaugnay na produkto, kabilang ang mga module mula sa Domain samuray at Artikulo samuray - bagaman ang pangunahing pag-andar syndication sa Artikulo samuray ay hindi maaapektuhan).
Ito ay din nagkakahalaga ng noting na ang karamihan ng iba pang mga SEO software ay apektado sa ilang mga paraan sa pamamagitan ng mga pagbabagong ito I-edit ang:. Namin natatanggap ang mga ulat na ang ibang software ay affected.We na dahil natuklasan na ito ay mali at iba pang mga SEO pakete ay hindi maaapektuhan ng mga pagbabagong ito .
Ano kami paggawa Tungkol Ito ...
Nagsusumikap kami tirelessly sa paligid ng orasan upang ibalik ang karamihan sa mga pag-andar na ito, at tinatantya namin na ang karamihan sa mga application ay magiging functional loob ng susunod na ilang araw.
Bilang doon ay tulad ng isang malaking halaga ng pag-andar na kasalukuyang binuo sa mga serbisyo ng Google, kami ay prioritizing ang mataas na paggamit ng mga module tulad ng Keyword Research at SEO Competition, at pagkatapos ay gumagalaw sa sa iba pang mga module.
Ano ba namin Pupunta sa Gamitin Sa Lugar ng Google?
Mahalaga na tandaan na ang karamihan sa data na magbigay namin sa Market samuray sana madali ibinigay na mula sa ibang mga search engine. (Hal. locating mga artikulo tungkol sa "aso pagsasanay" sa aming Maghanap ng Nilalaman module).
Sa mga simpleng kaso kami ay pagpunta sa palitan lang ng Google na may Bing.
Tulad ng alam mo, Bing ay ginawa ng ilang malaking pagpapabuti sa mga nakaraang taon at mayroong maraming mga sino ang sinasabi na Bing ni algorithm gumagawa ng mas may-katuturang mga resulta sa Google para sa maraming mga keyword.
Bilang isang nagmemerkado SEO, ito ay mahalaga na maunawaan na ang Bing sa index ay mabilis na papalapit na sa laki ng Google, at pati na rin silang kapangyarihan Yahoo!, mabilis na nila ang lumago upang makuha ang higit sa 30% ng mga query sa paghahanap sa US.
Ngunit kung bakit ito ay mahalaga?
Ang nadagdagan paggamit ng Bing bilang isang search engine ay mahalaga dahil ang mga sukatan ng kumpetisyon, tulad ng SEOC ("SEO Competition") at SEOTC ("SEO Pamagat Competition"), sukatin ang kakulangan ng mga keyword sa Internet. Ang ideya sa likod ng keyword kakulangan ay na ang mga keyword na may isang mataas na kasalatan ay malamang na maging mas kapaki-pakinabang na mga keyword para sa iyong kampanya sa marketing. Ang isang mahusay na kandidato para sa isang mas detalyadong pagsusuri kumpetisyon, sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng aming SEO Competition module matrix, ay magiging isang keyword na kung saan mayroong mga hindi maraming mga pahina sa Internet na naglalaman ng keyword na iyon sa pamagat o katawan ng isang pahina - ibig sabihin, ang keyword na may mababang SEOC / SEOTC halaga.
Ang mga mataas na antas ng kumpetisyon ng "kakulangan" mga numero ay maaari ring dumating mula sa isa pang search engine, hangga't ang index ng isang comparative laki sa Google. Naniniwala kami na ito ay ang kaso sa Bing.
on a scarcity metric such as SEOC or SEOTC will provide poor results. Mahalaga na tandaan na ang paggawa ng isang keyword desisyon batay lamang sa isang kakulangan sukatan tulad ng SEOC o SEOTC ay magbibigay ng hindi magandang mga resulta. Ito ay hindi isang kapalit para sa paggawa ng isang detalyadong pag-aaral sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng matrix SEO Competition at isang backlink analysis.
Ang sukatan ng kakulangan makakatulong sa amin na mabilis na-filter out ang mga keyword na lubos na malamang na maging masyadong mahirap na ranggo para sa (dahil mayroon sila ng maraming may-katuturang nilalaman out doon nakikipagkumpitensya para sa mga ranggo). tell you that a keyword will be easy to rank for. HINDI AY Sila sabihin sa iyo na ang isang keyword ay magiging madali sa ranggo para sa. (Yan ay gamitin ang mga numerong ito lamang upang alisan ng karapatan matigas mga keyword)
Hanggang sa ang pagbabago na ito ay ipinatupad, sa kasamaang-palad namin nagkaroon upang maipakilala ang isang mano-manong tseke para sa halaga SEOC, katulad ng para sa mga SEOTC / SEOUC halaga. Nauunawaan namin na ito ay nakakabigo at oras-ubos, ngunit ito ay ang tanging paraan na maaari naming panatilihin ang data na ito magagamit.
Mga pagbabago sa Ranggo ng Tracker
Ang module na pinaka-naapektuhan ng mga pagbabagong ito ang Google ay ang Ranggo ng Tracker module.
Ang Bad News ...
Na may higit sa 400,000 mga gumagamit ngayon, pagsubaybay ang ranggo ng iyong mga keyword sa iyong mga resulta sa ngalan literal milyon-milyong ng Google naghahanap araw-araw. Google pagbabago nangangahulugan na ito ay magiging simpleng imposible para sa amin upang ipagpatuloy ang paggawa ito sa iyong ngalan.
Hindi tulad ng Bing at Yahoo!, Google ay walang API (komersyal o kung hindi man) na kung saan ay angkop para sa pagsubaybay ng mga ranggo. Ang mga API na umiiral para sa Google madalas makagawa ng mga resulta na makabuluhang naiiba mula sa aktwal na mga pagraranggo, paggawa ng mga ito walang silbi para sa SEO layunin.
May mga third-party na mga kumpanya na kailangang tumpak na mga API sa Google, at kami ay kasalukuyang nasa negotiations upang makakuha ng access sa kanilang data.
product, for example. Ang partikular na kumpanya na kami ay pakikipag-usap sa nagbibigay ng data ranggo sa mga pangunahing tools SEO tulad ng mga mahuhusay na tool ng makintab na itim produkto, halimbawa.
to track 1,000 keywords), and the underlying cost of ranking data is a large part of the reason for this price. Gayunman, ang data na ito ay mamahalin (makintab na itim Tool cheapest plan na nagkakahalaga ng $ 99 sa isang buwan upang subaybayan ang 1,000 mga keyword), at ang kalakip na halaga ng data sa pagraranggo ay isang malaking bahagi ng mga dahilan para sa presyo.
Aming sinusuri maraming mga pagpipilian at tila, sa yugtong ito, na ang tanging paraan para sa amin upang mag-alok ng Google Ranggo Tracker-andar sa aming mga gumagamit ay upang bumili ng data na ito.
Gayunpaman, may isang nakapirming presyo ng produkto at sa gayon maraming mga gumagamit, ito ay lamang ng isang pang-ekonomiya hindi ikapangyayari upang magbigay ng parehong ranggo pagsubaybay sa pag-andar sa isang patuloy na batayan. to purchase this data! Sa katunayan, gusto halaga nito sa amin sa paglipas ng $ 40,000 sa isang araw upang mabili ang data!
Kaya, kami ay umalis na may mahirap na desisyon ng pagkakaroon upang pumasa ito sa mga gastos sa aming mga gumagamit sa ilang mga fashion (pinaka-malamang isang buwanang bayad na serbisyo).
Mangyaring malaman, kung ikaw ay isang umiiral na Market samuray mamimili susubukan naming panatilihin ito gastos bilang mababang hangga't maaari. Potensyal na ay namin kahit na subukan upang mag-alok ng libreng antas ng serbisyo para sa isang maliit na bilang ng mga keyword.
Sa kasamaang palad, ang pagbabagong ito ay magtagal upang ipatupad, hindi bababa sa ilang mga linggo. until we can get the new version of Rank Tracker out the door. Kaya hanggang sa oras na maaaring kailangan mong suriin ang iyong mga pagraranggo mano-mano, o di kaya subukan ng 30 araw na pagsubok sa Tools makintab na itim hanggang maaari naming makuha ang bagong bersyon ng Ranggo ng Tracker out ang pinto.
Kami ay ilalabas ang isang na-update na bersyon ng umiiral na module Ranggo Tracker ilang sandali, na magbibigay-daan sa iyo upang tingnan ang isang napakaliit na bilang ng mga keyword na ranggo sa Google (hanggang sa 10), sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng iyong sariling koneksyon kaysa sa aming mga server na isagawa ang mga paghahanap . Ito ay isang pansamantalang workaround hanggang maaari kaming maglagay ng isang mas permanenteng solusyon sa lugar.
Ang Mabuting Balita ...
Gayunpaman, ang balita ay hindi lahat ng masama. Ranggo Tracker ay palaging isang napaka-mabagal na module na gamitin dahil sa mas mataas na mga numero ng mga paghahanap na ito ay nangangailangan.
Ang bagong Ranggo Tranker module na binuo batay sa bayad na API ay magbibigay-daan sa amin upang suriin ang iyong ranggo sa background mula sa aming mga server sa bawat linggo, kaya na kapag binuksan mo ang Market samuray, makikita mo agad na magagawang makita ang iyong mga pagraranggo-ulat sa halip ng paghihintay paitaas ng 10-30 minuto upang suriin ang lahat ng iyong mga pagraranggo ng keyword.
Ano Upang ba Susunod
Alam namin ang mga implikasyon ng mga kamakailang mga pagbabago ng Google ay masyadong disappointing at magiging sanhi ng ilang mga galit sa gitna ng aming mga gumagamit.
Naiintindihan namin ito, at habang namin ang mga pagbabagong ito ay lampas sa aming kontrol, gusto kong humihingi ng paumanhin sa ngalan ng buong Noble samuray koponan. Kami ay labis na nagpapasalamat para sa suporta ng aming mga customer sa mga nakaraang taon - ikaw ang dahilan kung maaari naming gawin kung ano ang ginagawa namin! Kami malalim Pinahahalagahan ang iyong pasensya sa pamamagitan ng ito mahirap oras.
Ang aming kasalukuyang pagtatantya ay na kami ay may napakaraming mga pag-andar Market samuray ay nagtatrabaho muli sa loob ng susunod na ilang araw. Ang binagong Ranggo Tracker module ay maaaring tumagal sa amin ng ilang linggo upang ganap na ipatupad, bagaman maaari mo pa ring suriin ang maliit na bilang ng mga keyword nang manu-mano sa Ranggo ng Tracker, pati na rin ang check ng Bing at Yahoo! bilang normal.
Mangyaring maging panatag na bilang isang maliit na koponan ng software development, naiintindihan namin na naghahatid ng mahusay na halaga ay kung ano ang nagpapanatili sa amin buhay at kung ano ang itinayo na ito ng negosyo sa unang lugar. Kapag ang dust ay palagian, kami ay tinutukoy upang gawin ang anumang aabutin upang matiyak na ang pamumuhunan na iyong ginawa sa sariling Market samuray ay ang pinakamahusay na Internet Marketing sa pamumuhunan na iyong ginawa.
Gayunpaman, kung sa anumang oras sa tingin ninyo ay hindi Market samuray ay nagkakahalaga ng iyong paunang puhunan mangyaring makipag-ugnay sa aming help desk para sa isang bahagyang o buong refund-lamang magkaroon ng kamalayan na ang aming help desk ay may isang mataas na dami ng mga tiket sa sandaling ito, kaya maaari itong tumagal nang kaunti kaysa sa karaniwan upang makapunta sa iyong mga kahilingan.
Sa sandaling muli, Ako'y sobrang ng paumanhin para sa abala na naidulot nito sa aming mga customer.
Nagsusumikap kami sa paligid ng orasan upang makuha ang fixed.
Mangyaring iwanan ang anumang mga katanungan, mga alalahanin o bigyan ng lakas at pag-asa (maaari kaming gumamit ng kaunting karapatan tungkol sa ngayon!) Sa ang mga komento sa ibaba.

Dave sinabi:
Tunog sa akin tulad ng Noble samuray ay kinunan sa isang iba't ibang mga modelo ng negosyo at ngayon ay singilin para sa lahat ng bagay. Ang serbisyo pinuntahan tae kapag Artikulo samuray ay dumating out. Ngayon para sa isang serbisyong aming binayaran para sa, kami ay pagpunta sa hilingin sa iyo na magbayad para sa na muli (sa isang buwanang bayad am i bang) o mawala ang pag-andar.

Eugene Ware ay tumugon:
Hi Dave, salamat para sa pagbabahagi ng iyong pagkabigo.
Para sa 4 na taon na aming nagtrabaho talagang mahirap upang panatilihin ang mga presyo punto ng Market samuray mababa at isang nakapirming presyo. Sa kasamaang palad, ang araw ng "LIBRE" mga serbisyo sa paghahanap ng data ay patungo sa isang pagtatapos.
Yahoo, halimbawa lamang-shut down ang kanilang mahusay na Site Explorer tool na ginamit upang maging ang pinakamahusay na lugar upang makabalik data link. Sa ganoong sitwasyon namin natagpuan ang pinakamahusay na pinagmulan ng Backlink posible sa web (Majestic SEO). Ano ang hindi pa namin sinabi sa sinuman ay na kami ay nagbabayad halos $ 10,000 sa isang buwan para sa pag-access sa data na ito, at hindi kami nakapasa sa isang sentimo ng ito sa aming mga gumagamit - lang namin nakuha sa aming mga sinturon at wore ang gastos.
Kami pa rin ng napakaliit na kumpanya - at ang aming mga mapagkukunan sa nakaraang ilang taon ay naging may dalawang bahagi - Pagpapanatiling Market samuray nagtatrabaho sa harap ng halos araw-araw na pagbabago, at ilalabas ang mga Artikulo samuray sa gayon na ang aming mga gumagamit ay may isang paraan upang bumuo ng mga pabalik na link at mayroon isang pagkakataon sa pagpapataas ng kumpetisyon ng search engine, pati na rin ang pagbibigay ng ilang mga pinansiyal na kuwartong ulo upang umarkila higit pang mga tao upang magpatuloy upang mapahusay ang Market samuray at magbayad para sa pagtaas ng mga pinagkukunan ng data.
Ito ay ganap na sucks na mukhang mula sa labas na panatilihin namin ang pagbabago ng mga patakaran, at mga humihiling sa iyo na magbayad para sa mga bagay na dating libreng. Ngunit ito ay dahil ang mga mapagkukunan ng data ay dating libre sa amin masyadong! Walang-isa ay mas bigo na tayo, gina-garantiya ko.
Muli, mangyaring huwag mag-atubiling magtanong para sa isang buong refund (maaari mong mapanatili ang pag-access sa Market samuray pagkatapos ng iyong pagbabalik ng bayad), at huwag mag-atubili na tumingin sa paligid ng lugar merkado para sa isang alternatibong produkto. Ko pa nakikipag-ugnay sa marami sa mga nangungunang mga tool SEO sa nakalipas na ilang araw, at marami sa mga ito ay nakaharap ito napaka parehong problema.
Ako talagang paumanhin na namin nawala ang iyong tiwala sa isang ito. Pagbabayad sa $ 40,000 sa isang araw para sa data, gayunpaman, nais lamang buwal sa amin - na kung saan ay hindi mabuti para sa masipag na staff na kumikita nang kanilang pamumuhay sa paghahatid sa aming mga customer, o ang aming mga customer alinman - na nais magkaroon upang mawalan ng access sa mahusay na tool.
Salamat para sa iyong feedback - Umaasa ako na sa paglipas ng panahon maaari naming kumita ng pabalik ang iyong tiwala at paggalang.

Maaari ko maunawaan ni Dave sentiments, ngunit ang post na ito mula sa Eugene ay isang perpektong halimbawa ng kung bakit hindi ako umaalis sa MS. Oo naman, ang mga backlink data ay hindi kasing ganda ng ito ay - ngunit hindi ang kanilang mga kasalanan.
Nagbayad ako ng $ 97 para sa dalawang taon na ang nakaraan, at ko pa rin bang gamitin ito regular. Ang maaari kong gawin ang isang pagsusuri ng keyword para sa isang client at singilin ang $ 300 upang bumuo ng isang pangunahing kampanya sa AdWords. Aking mga lihim: Market samuray at Excel.
Kung hindi mo pa nakuha ang halaga din (sampung beses) mula sa software na ito, ipagpalagay ko na hindi mo na ginagamit mo ito nang tama.
Eugene, at ang natitira sa MS - salamat sa iyo para sa iyong patuloy na "pagpapabuti". Minsan, ang mga ito ay isang hakbang paurong, ngunit bilang mo na nakadetalye ito, hindi kailanman ang iyong mga kasalanan, at ikaw ay gumagawa ng pinakamahusay na maaari mong.

Hi Charles,
Salamat para sa bigyan ng lakas at pag-asa. Ako ay talagang natutuwa na natanggap mo ang isang pulutong ng mga halaga mula sa mga tool.
Sa tingin ko ang kapus-palad katotohanan sa lahat ng mga produkto sa online marketing ito man ay isang software o ng isang kurso, ay na lamang ng isang maliit na bilang aktwal na ilagay sa mga bagay na kasanayan upang anihan ang mga gantimpala.
Natutuwa akong na mayroon ka!
Dalawang hakbang pasulong, isang hakbang pabalik!
Kami ay nakakakuha doon. Keyword Research ay bumalik at tumatakbo na ngayon, at hindi na namin maibabalik ilang limitadong pag-andar ranggo sa Ranggo ng Tracker (kakayahan upang subaybayan ang ranggo para sa isang maliit na bilang ng mga keyword). Pulgada sa pamamagitan ng pulgada ...
Salamat muli!

Gusto ko lang i-echo Charles 'statement ... Nagbayad ako ng $ 97 para sa Market samuray 2 taon na ang nakaraan, at salamat sa software at kahanga-hangang mga pagsasanay magbigay sa iyo ko pa ito upang lumikha ng isang bilang ng mga kumikitang mga online na negosyo. Ang tool ay binayaran para sa kanyang sarili ng libu-libong beses sa paglipas.
Ito ay malinaw na mga bagay ay nagbabago, at ito ay nakakabigo para sa lahat. Ngunit ang halaga mo at ng iyong koponan na ibinigay sa paglipas ng mga taon ay higit pa sa matibay na patunay ng iyong pangako sa kahusayan sa parehong iyong produkto at ang iyong serbisyo.
Upang sinuman na isinasaalang-alang ng refund - ang mga guys ay ang pinakamahusay na sa planeta sa kung ano ang ginagawa nila. Kung sinuman ay pagpunta upang malaman ito out, ito ay pagpunta sa maging ang koponan sa Market samuray.

Ko sa iyo ang mga tao halos mula sa simula at ko na nakuha ang aking mga patakaran ng salapi nagkakahalaga mula sa merkado samuray oras at oras muli.
Gusto ko lang bang sabihin na kapag ang isang tao ay nais ang kanilang pera pabalik HINDI nila ang dapat ma-gamitin ang tool anumang mas mahaba! Hindi lamang ito ay hindi mabusog sa amin na patuloy na tumayo sa likod ng Nobel samuray ngunit, bakit pa ito patay bigat ng pag-drag pababa ang mga serbisyo?
Ako para sa 1:00 pagpunta wala kahit saan, mayroon akong tiwala sa koponan Nobel samuray, pinagkakatiwalaan ko kung ano ang kanilang ginagawa at alam ko ang mga ito ay pagpunta upang panatilihin ang mga gastos sa linya bilang pinakamahusay na maaari nilang. Tulad ng ibang tao sinabi "subukan pagpunta out at makahanap ng isang iba't ibang mga kasangkapan."

Dave - Sa lahat ng angkop na paggalang, Market samuray ay palaging napaka murang sa aking opinyon ... Upang makakuha ng kung ano ang makukuha mo sa Market samuray para sa ilalim ng $ 150 sa sandaling OFF pagbabayad ay walang katotohanan. Inaasahan ko na magbayad ng isang buwanang bayad, ngunit kawili-wiling nagulat sa Market samuray ay isang beses off presyo. Kung hindi ka masaya-tumingin sa kanilang mga kakumpitensya. Market samuray ay mas mura, at gawin ang mga ito ng mas mahusay na trabaho.
Na nagamit ko ito para sa isang bilang ng mga taon (para sa multi-milyong dolyar organisasyon) at upang maging matapat, kung ikaw ay winging tungkol sa isang $ 150 ($ 97 sa aking kaso) sineseryoso mo kailangang umisip na muli ang iyong negosyo ... o hindi bababa sa makakuha ng ilang mas kabisera sa likod mo. $ 97 - $ 150 ay isang mahusay na presyo, ngunit kung kailangan namin na magbayad ng isang buwanang bayad, pagkatapos kaya ito. -Ito ay mabuti pa rin halaga.
Maaari ko Pinahahalagahan ang iyong mga alalahanin, dahil ito sucks, ako masyadong masaya ... pero kung hindi ka masaya, makakuha ng refund. Pagbabanta ng demanda sa paglipas ng $ 97 o $ 150, ay hindi kahit na nagkakahalaga ng iyong oras.
Tulad ng para sa akin - Kukunin ko ay naglalagi sa kanila dahil palagi nilang naihatid kung ano ang kanilang sinabi ng ginagawa nila at palagi itong naging isang mahusay na presyo. Ko lang ang umaasa sa iyo (ang guys sa Noble samuray) ay maaaring panatilihin ang mga gastos mababa. (Bilang isang friendly na mungkahi para sa Noble samuray, baka gusto mong taasan ang iyong mga produkto pabalik dulo upang maaari mong ituring ang MS bilang isang "entry" produkto-marahil kahit na isang 'lider pagkawala'. Ganoong paraan, maaari kang mawalan ng pera sa mga gastos ng data tapat, ngunit gawin itong up pabalik sa 'back-end' sales-malinaw naman na ang mas mahahabang diskarte, ngunit nais ito daan sa iyo upang manatili bilang isang lider market.)
Pinakamahusay ng luck sa ang bagong mga pagbabago,

Siguro ang oras ay dumating upang simulan ang singilin ng isang buwanang bayad para sa ilang mga "pro" na tampok. Kahit $ 5 kada buwan ay pumunta sa isang mahabang paraan patungo defraying iyong patuloy na gastusin.
IMO, sa cloud-based na serbisyo, MS ay may ilang mga solong punto ng kabiguan. Marahil na ang pag-andar na kasalukuyang ginagawa sa cloud ay dapat hunhon out sa user.
Sa Enero 29, 2012 sa 16:07
Eugene Ware ay tumugon:
Hi Ben, salamat kaya magkano ang para sa iyong suporta.
Kami ay may maraming mga tao na marahas magtaltalan na dapat naming kami ay dapat singilin ang isang patuloy na bayad para sa Market samuray. Nagkakahalaga ito ng sa amin literal daan-daang libo-libong mga dolyar bawat taon upang i-update at mapabuti ang produkto, at hindi nagkakaroon gayunman upang mabawi ang gastos ay hindi isang tunog pang-matagalang negosyo modelo. Ngunit na sinubukan namin napakahirap upang gawin itong gumana, at tiyakin na ang Market samuray ay magiging isang mahusay na halaga ng produkto sa aming mga gumagamit, at na kapag ang kasunod na mga produkto dumating out, na nais nilang magtiwala sa amin sapat na upang subukan ang mga ito out.
Tungkol sa mga ulap, Market samuray ay simulan out gamit lamang ang computer ng gumagamit. Gayunman, ang downside sa ito, ay ang paggawa na maraming mga query mula sa mga computer ay maaaring maging sanhi ng pansamantalang pagkaantala Google serbisyo para sa hindi lamang ang mga gumagamit ngunit din sa iba pang mga tao na sa parehong koneksyon sa Internet (pati na rin ang pagiging lubha mabagal). Ang aming imprastraktura ng ulap ay naglalaman ng maraming, maraming mga server ng pagbibigay ng pag-uulit at pagiging maaasahan ng mas malaki, pati na rin ang kawalan ng kakayahang gawin ang ilang mga query sa parallel.
Ang iba pang mga dahilan para sa paglipat sa ulap ay na ito ay nagbibigay-daan sa amin upang gumana sa iba pang mga bersyon ng Market samuray (hal. mga mobile na bersyon, at mga web na bersyon). Adobe AIR ay nagsilbi sa amin na rin ng multi-platform na application, ngunit hindi ito ay aktibong pinananatili sa pamamagitan ng Adobe, at ito ay nagsisimula upang ipakita ito ng edad. Gayundin, ang ulap serbisyo ay nagbibigay-daan sa amin upang gumawa ng mga pagbabago sa pagbabago ng mga serbisyo nang hindi na kinakailangang i-deploy ng isang bagong bersyon ng desktop software.
Para sa sandaling ito kami ay pagpunta upang ilabas ang isang bersyon ng Ranggo ng Tracker ilang sandali na magpapahintulot sa mga tao upang tumingin up ng isang maliit na bilang ng mga keyword gamit ang kanilang mga sariling computer habang ginagawa namin sa susunod na bersyon ng Ranggo ng Tracker.
Salamat Ben sa iyong feedback - mo malinaw naman magkaroon ng isang malinaw na kaalaman sa mga isyu, at ako mag-anyaya sa iyo at sa iba pang mga user upang magpatuloy upang ipadala sa pamamagitan ng mga ideya para sa amin upang mapabuti ang aming mga produkto at trabaho sa pamamagitan ng mga isyung ito.

Gayundin, ang iyong badya na substituting Bing para sa Google ay hindi magsasanhi ng anumang pagkababa ng ranggo sa mga resulta ay hindi masyadong reassuring. Ang karamihan sa mga customer web maghanap ng mga resulta sa pamamagitan ng Google. Ngayon, kami ay basing magkano ng aming mga SEO ay batay sa data mula sa isang bagay na hindi Google. Iyan ay isang hole hindi mo maaaring plug na may isang pares ng mga malabo assurances.

Sorry, na bilang bagong gumagamit Nakakuha ka nahuli sa gitna ng mga ito sa pag-promote ng oras (ito ay tiyak na hindi ang aming layunin!). Ano ang karamihan sa mga tao ay hindi makita sa likod ng mga eksena ay na mayroon kaming nakalaang koponan patuloy na gumaganap update at paggawa ng mga pagbabago upang manatili up-to-date sa mga madalas na mga pagbabago na ang search engine sa mundo throws sa amin.
Ang karamihan sa mga SEO software na ito ay nilikha, tumatagal tungkol sa 3 buwan at pagkatapos ay tumitigil nagtatrabaho, dahil ang serbisyo at ang data na ito ay binuo sa pagbabagong ito. Ito ay higit pa sa isang full-time na trabaho naglalagi sa tuktok ng mga ito. Ito ay bahagi ng kung bakit ang mga tao manatili sa Market samuray dahil patuloy naming ayusin at i-update ang software (sa katunayan karamihan ng mga tao sabihin na-update namin ang aming software masyadong maraming!)
Sa halos 4 na taon ng pagpapatakbo namin nakikilala ang bawat hamon sa ulo. Ngunit, ito ay naging isa sa mga pinaka mapaghamong mga problema na mayroon kaming upang harapin.
Ang iyong mga komento tungkol sa paggamit ng isang search engine upang sukatin ang isa pang ay wasto, at ang katayuan Quo ay tiyak na mas mababa kaysa perpekto. Karamihan sa mga SEO, gayunpaman, na ang paggamit SEOC o kahit SEOTC (o kahit na walang kahulugan tulad sukatan tulad ng Kei) bilang isang dalisay pahiwatig ng isang mapagkumpitensyang mga keyword ay flawed.
Ang katotohanan ay, maaari kang makakuha ng front ranggo ng pahina sa isang SEOC bilang ng mga milyon-milyong, at nagpupumilit upang makakuha ng papunta sa front page na may isang SEOC puntos na 20!! Ang mga ito ay lamang magaspang mga tool upang makatulong na paliitin daan-daang mga keyword upang ang ilang mga na maaari mong gastusin sa oras at gawin ang higit pang pagsisiyasat.
Ang module ng SEO Competition ay mananatiling gamit ang Google, at ang lahat ng mga pabalik na link analysis andar (tulad ng ito ay iginuhit mula sa mga bayad na Majestic SEO API) ay patuloy na gagana. Ito ang mga tool na ang mga pros gamitin, at ito ay - at patuloy na maging para sa nakikinita hinaharap batay sa Google.
Salamat Wayne para sa iyong puna, at Umaasa ako na sa susunod na ilang linggo at buwan na magagawa naming upang manalo pabalik ang iyong tiwala, at na ang tunay na sukatan ng tagumpay (ie. na makilala ka mahusay na mga keyword at makakuha ng mahusay na ranggo para sa kanila - nagiging tunay sukatan ukol sa kung ang mga pagbabago na napilitan kaming gumawa ng ehersisyo para sa iyo at sa aming mga user).

Kumukuha ng ranggo mula sa iyong sariling personal na koneksyon ay ridiculously oras pag-ubos at madalas na mga resulta sa Google Captchas at kagyat pag-block ng iyong IP. Bago ako nagsimula nagtatrabaho sa aking kasalukuyang SEO kumpanya, sila ay gumagamit ng IBP para sa ranggo tracking. Ang SEO tao bago sa akin gusto Literal na hayaan ito gumagana sa ibabaw ng katapusan ng linggo, at nagkaroon na tumakbo batch ng keyword bumalik upang i-back sa halip ng pagpapatakbo ng isang solong hanay ng sabay-sabay.
Ang kumpanya ay pa rin mapigil ang ranggo up ang pagsubaybay sa paggamit ng isang script na mano-manong pulls ranggo para sa isang 1-2 keyword / domain para sa tungkol sa 10,000 mga domain aari nila. Ang program na ito ay tumatakbo sa aming mga server at sinusuri ang SERPs mano-mano ng hanggang sa Page 4. Ang ilang mga beses ito aksidenteng bumangga sa mga oras ng opisina (karaniwan ay tumatakbo sa paligid 02:00) ito sanhi napakalaking koneksyon lag para sa aming lahat, at marami sa amin ang nakakuha ng maramihang Captchas Google.
Kapag ako ipinakilala ang mga ito sa MS, na kung saan ako ay patuloy na ginagamit dahil ito ay nailunsad, nagawa naming upang makakuha ng tumpak na mga resulta sa isang bagay ng mga minuto o isang oras para sa kung ano ay literal na kinuha IBP at iba pang DAYS software.
Walang mga captchas, walang block IPs, walang problema.
Sa itaas ng na, ang isang beses na bayad na ginawa ito malaki mas mura kaysa sa iba pang software, tulad ng IBP, makintab na itim, SEOMoz, SEO Powersuite, atbp Mukhang mga araw na iyon ay kailangang magtapos, ngunit hulaan ko namin ang lahat ng alam ang mga araw ng isang isa -beses na gastos ng produkto na may mga ganitong uri ng mga update ay magkakaroon upang wakasan kalaunan.

Thankyou talaga para sa pagpapanatili sa amin matalinong.
Refrigerator sinabi:
Bakit hindi ibang mga programa tulad ng Ranggo ng Tracker mula sa SEO Powersuite apektado.
Binili ko ang Market samuray para lamang sa mga module na Ranggo Tracker. Naniniwala ako na may isang IP, gamit ang mga proxy o VPN ay maaaring maghanap para sa mga dose-dosenang mga keyword bago ang IP na panandaliang hinarangan. Bakit hindi namin maaaring malutas ito sa pamamagitan ng pagpasok ng aming sariling mga IP?

Ito ay isang mahusay na halimbawa ng mahusay na serbisyo sa customer at sa pagtugon mabilis sa isang krisis. Sa ganitong uri ng kitang-kita na pangako sa iyong mga customer, ako ay tiwala Market samuray ay Weather anumang Google-made bagyo.

Kaya kung aling mga search engine ay tumatakbo off ang mga track. IMHO ito ay Google sa sandaling ito. Tungkol sa oras Google ay nakakakuha ito ng tama, mayroon sila upang guluhin ito up para saglit hanggang sa dust ang settles. Maging masaya ka na wala sa Biz SEO software.

Kung kailangan mo ng tumpak na mga resulta SEO, kailangan nila upang i-off batay sa kung ano ang Google ay index at ipinakita, dahil iyon ang kung ano ang 68% ng merkado ay gumagamit sa Estados Unidos. Mga resulta batay off ng Yahoo o Bing ay hindi maaaring tumpak na inilapat sa Google. Ito ay tulad ng sinasabi

Maaari rin itong maging hindi isang buwanang subscription, maaaring ito ay isang credit sistema masyadong. Kaya ng kaunti maaga upang sabihin.
Industriya ng pagpepresyo para sa 1000 mga keyword lingguhang update ay sa paligid $ 99 / buwan, may 100 na mga keyword sa paligid ng $ 25-30 sa isang buwan. Gusto naming inaasahan upang ma-competitive na may mga handog, at upang matiyak na ang aming mga umiiral na mga customer makakuha ng isang pakyawan deal na pagpepresyo ay magiging isang walang-brainer kung ihahambing sa anumang umiiral na mga handog.

Gayundin, kasing layo ng ranggo tracker. Ginagamit ko ang Google Webmaster Tools higit pa at higit pa. Sila ay nagbibigay din ang average na ranggo ng pahina para sa mga partikular na keyword na nagdadala sa trapiko ng iyong site sa paglipas ng panahon ng isang buwan. Bagaman, dapat itong sinabi na ang data ay karaniwang ng ilang mga araw likod, ngunit ito ay pa rin ng isang kapaki-pakinabang at medyo tumpak na (bilang tool anumang maaaring maging hulaan ko).
Ma Market samuray hitsura sa ang posibilidad ng pag-uugnay ng mga gumagamit ng Google Webmaster Tools account sa Market samuray, katulad sa kung ano ang iyong ay tapos na higit sa isang taon na ang nakalipas ng mga tool ng Keyword Research at ang kanilang mga account sa AdWords?

Sa puntong ito sa panahon namin ganap na inaasahan na makikita pa rin namin magawang magbigay ng data Page Rank.
Kung na kailanman mga pagbabago, pagkatapos ay makikita natin kung ano ang lagi naming gawin at makahanap ng isang kapalit (tulad ng MozRank, o isang bagay na katulad).
Ito ay patas na sabihing, na nilayon landas ng Google para sa Masters web upang subaybayan ang kanilang mga ranggo ay sa Webmaster Tools. Ang data na ngayon ay isang bit pahapyaw at hindi kumpleto, kundi pati na rin mas mahusay kaysa sa wala. Ito ay makakatulong sa iyo upang subaybayan ang mga ranggo para sa mga site na pagmamay-ari mo, ngunit ay hindi nagbibigay sa magkano ng tulong para sa iyong mga site ng kakumpitensya, o mga pahina na iyong control na sa web2.0 site tulad ng youtube.com o squidoo.com
Kami ng mga plano upang isama ang higit pang mahigpit na may mga tool ng webmaster at Analytics sa hinaharap. Hindi maaaring sabihin masyadong maraming tungkol dito bagaman!

Kung tumingin ka sa average na ranggo sa doon, at pagkatapos ay sa mga nakikitang ranggo sa Google.co.uk, ang mga resulta ay kasalukuyang masyadong naiiba upang maging kapaki-pakinabang.
Maaari ba akong magkaroon upang ilipat ang layo mula sa MS bilang ng ranggo ng tracking ay ang mga pangunahing bahagi gagamitin ko - ngunit ako pinaka-tiyak na nakuha ang aking mga patakaran ng salapi nagkakahalaga ng mahigit sa huling 12 buwan.

Ang katotohanan ay ginagamit namin ang isang hanay ng mga bagong serbisyo at API upang makuha ang data at kaya namin pinuhin ito sa paglipas ng panahon mula doon.
Ang module na makakakuha ka pabalik ay magsasama keyword pananaliksik (hinahayaan kang makahanap ng mahusay na mga prospective na mga keyword) at SEO Kumpetisyon ng Pagsusuri (Hinahayaan ka humukay papunta sa front page ng isang naibigay na resulta ng paghahanap at makita ang lahat ng mga pangunahing sukatan ng SEO para sa bawat resulta ng paghahanap).
Ang mga kataliwasan ay Ranggo ng Tracker. Ito ay nagbibigay-daan sa iyo makita (at graph) ikaw ay ranggo sa paglipas ng panahon. Ang katotohanan ay ang pagbabago ibig sabihin hindi namin hilahin ang data na ito en masse sa ngalan ng mga kliyente, sa gayon ito ay ang bahagi kakailanganin naming i-reassess.

Sinabi ni Travis:
Mangyaring makipag-usap sa mga gumagamit Artikulo samuray. Alam ko may mga hindi marami sa amin, ngunit Nakapili kami binabayaran ng isang buwanang bayad para sa isang serbisyo na Naging mas mahalaga. Pagsamahin na may isang mano-manong proseso ng pagsusuri na nakukuha nito ito ng tama tungkol sa 75% ng oras, at mayroon ka na customer na naka bigo. IMO, ang AS buwanang bayad ay dapat na binabaan, hindi tumaas.

Hi Travis,
Salamat para sa pagpapahayag ng iyong mga alalahanin.
Ang subscription cost ng Artikulo samuray ay tunay na isang cost exercise pagbawi. Para sa $ 97 mga espesyal na alok, ang karamihan sa mga pamumuhunan na ay makakakuha ng ibinahagi sa aming mga kasosyo sa syndication (UAW at AMA at ContentBoss). Lamang kami ng isang maliit na halaga ng na buwanang bayad sa subscription, na tumutulong sa nagbabayad para support staff at produkto pagpapanatili at pagpapabuti.
Namin ang bundle na Ranggo Tracker sa Artikulo samuray upang gawing simple ang daloy ng trabaho (sa katunayan namin ang orihinal na ay hindi pagpunta sa isama ito). Tungkol sa 99% ng aming mga subscriber Artikulo samuray ay mayroon ng isang kopya ng Market samuray na kung saan ay isang nakapirming presyo ng produkto.
Ang Artikulo samuray syndication proseso pa rin ang mahusay na gumagana, at sa laki ng network ay lumalaki sa bawat linggo bilang nakikipagtulungan kami sa aming mga kasosyo upang palaguin ang kanilang mga network upang maaari naming payagan ang higit pa sa aming mga gumagamit upang makuha ang kanilang mga kamay sa mga produktong ito.
Mayroon kaming regular na pagpupulong sa aming mga kasosyo sa syndication, at ang proseso ng pagsusuri ay isang bagay na ay patuloy sa agenda upang mapabuti at streamline. Nagsusumikap kami sa kanila upang maging mas transparent at pare-parehong tungkol sa kanilang mga pamantayan sa pagsusuri, at magpadala sa amin ng isang kopya ng kanilang mga pamantayan sa pagsusuri upang maaari naming ibahagi ang mga ito sa aming mga subscriber upang maaari naming makuha ang iyong mga artikulo sa pamamagitan ng sistema ng 100% ng oras.
Pinapahalagahan ko ang iyong mga komento, gayunpaman, at kung kayo ay isa sa aming mga customer na hindi magkaroon ng Market samuray bago pagbili pagkatapos ay mangyaring makipag-ugnay sa aming help desk at kukunin ko na tiyakin na makakakuha ka ng isang komplementaryong kopya ng Market samuray pati na rin, sa gayon Maaari mong ma-access ang ilan sa iba pang mga module na kung saan ay hindi naroroon sa Market samuray (hal. ang Monetization module).
Ako'y sobrang paumanhin na aming ipaalam sa iyo down na dito. Ngunit ang gastos istraktura para sa Artikulo samuray ay hindi naka-link sa Ranggo ng Tracker ngunit ang aming mga gastusin sa syndication.
Kami ay gayunpaman, siguraduhin na ang lahat ng aming mga customer, kung Market samuray o Artikulo samuray ay makakakuha ng napaka pinakamababang presyo hangga't maaari (isa sa kung saan namin lamang masakop ang aming pakyawan gastos), habang ang bagong mga pagbili ay kailangan upang mabili ang data sa higit pang mga komersyal na mga rate.
Salamat muli para sa paglalaan ng oras upang mag-iwan ng komento.

Eugene,
Orihinal na ako bumili ng MS at naging isang subscriber sa AS dahil launch.
Ako ay nasisiyahan sa MS at nalulugod na may ilang mga aspeto ng AS.
Ang pangunahing driver para sa pagbili ng MS na taliwas iba pang mga produkto ay ang fixed cost presyo. Din ako Pinahahalagahan na dapat mong magagawang upang makaakit ng mga kita upang suportahan ang paglago ng iyong negosyo (ito ay nasa lahat ng aming mga interes).
Gayunpaman, pagpepresyo ay mahalaga. Kaya:
1. Mangyaring isaalang-alang ang iba't ibang mga istraktura ng pagpepresyo na may mga pagpipilian.
2. Isaalang-alang ang bundle deal kung saan ang mga umiiral na mga subscription ay isinasaalang-alang.
3. Ano ang magiging talagang magandang ay isang simpleng talahanayan sa pamamagitan ng module, platform na nagpapahiwatig kung apektado, epekto at ipinanukalang resolution. Ang isang pulutong mas madali upang gumawa ng matalinong mga desisyon sa isang pahina.
4. Galugarin nagkakahalaga maramdamin provider. Makintab na itim ay maaaring maging magandang (tulad ng Majestic) ngunit ay masyadong mahal. Sinuri ko ang kapwa at dismiss sa presyo.
Din ako sariling SEO Power Suite sa pamamagitan ng Link Assistant. Kabilang dito ang isang maintenance plan. Wala sa aking mga serbisyo lumitaw upang maapektuhan at ang gastos ng mga makatwirang kumpara sa makintab na itim (plus unmlimited).
Mayroon kang isang mahusay na produkto sa MS. Inirerekomenda ko kang tumingin sa iyong client base sa pag-iisip ko maraming gugustuhing ng opsyon ng isang cost-epektibong solusyon na taliwas sa isang mataas na pakete ng pagtatapos.
Good luck tao ay.

Eugene, ang iyong pagtugon sa Travis ay naglalaman ng kung ano ang tingin ko ay patunayan na maging ang pinakamalaking isyu:
"Tungkol sa 99% ng aming mga subscriber Artikulo samuray ay mayroon ng isang kopya ng Market samuray na kung saan ay isang nakapirming presyo ng produkto."
Sa malas, hindi eksakto. Mukhang Market samuray ay hindi na isang nakapirming presyo ng produkto ... kahit sa mga taong bumili ito bilang tulad ... kahit doon sa mga pagbili na ang desisyon ay batay sa na-advertise na claim.
Ngayon, tulad ng 99% ng mga mamimili ng internet, hindi ko basahin ang mga tuntunin ng serbisyo sa detalyado, ngunit ako ay bang mayroong isang bagay sa doon na natin ang MS baguhin ang mga patakaran sa gitna ng laro.
Ito ba ay legal na may tama? Siyempre ... pero na hindi gumawa ito ng tama, lalo na para sa mas bagong mga gumagamit na nakuha ng kaunti hanggang sa walang halaga mula sa produkto pa.
Maraming mga maaaring maging tulad sa akin ... Binili ko MS bago ko talaga ay nagkaroon ng isang gamitin para dito, dahil sa mga promo. 2-3 buwan na nakalipas Binili ko ito sa pamamagitan ng promo, alam ko ay walang pangangailangan para sa ito pagkatapos, ngunit na gagawin ko sa 4-6 na buwan. Ngayon, tila na kapag gagawin ko itong gamitin hindi ako ay magkakaroon ng produkto Binili ko, sa katunayan, upang makakuha ng kung ano ko na binayaran para sa ay ko gumastos pa na kung ako ay naghintay at hindi binili sa pamamagitan ng promo dahil sa anumang naipong buwanang bayarin .
Ko lubos na pinasasalamatan ang inyong katapatan sa pagsasalita at "transparancy" (Diyos, politika sa nakaraang ilang taon ay ginawa sa akin mapoot na salita), at alam ko mula sa isang isyu na lumitaw sa panahon ng pagbili na iyong kakailanganin ng mga tao yumuko sa paurong upang gawin kung ano ang tama, at ako sa tingin mo marahil ito ay mangyayari sa kasong ito pati na rin. ngunit ...
Para sa akin, at sa tingin ko para sa maraming iba pang mga tao, ito ay hindi hitsura napakabuti sa sandaling ito.

Hi Pete,
Upang maging matapat kami nang mas pokus sa pagkuha ng isang solusyon na binuo kaysa sa nagtatrabaho out ang mga detalye ng istraktura ng pagpepresyo. Marahil kami nakahilig patungo sa isang proporsyonal sistema kung saan ang mga gumagamit ng mabibigat na magbayad ng higit pa.
Tulad ng para sa kung ano ang numero ay "maliit". Kami pa rin hindi alam pa. Kailangan namin upang tumingin sa pamamagitan ng aming mga istatistika ng paggamit at bumuo ng ilang mga modelo ng pagpepresyo sa ehersisyo kung magkano ang paggamit maaari naming makisama sa bawat buwan para sa libre sa ngalan ng aming mga gumagamit. Maaari rin itong maging ang kaso, na maaaring hindi ito posible sa lahat. Gusto naming magkaroon ng isang libreng linya, ngunit Kukunin ko inilalaan sa paggawa ng anumang pangako hanggang sa magkaroon ako na ang mahirap na mga numero sa harap ko (at ng ganap na gumagana ang produkto).
Magkakaroon talagang maging isang bahaghari sa dulo ng ito - ang resulta ng mga pagbabagong ito ay magiging isang mas mabilis, mas madaling tablan at mas maaasahan application, at sa huli ng isang magkano ang mas mahusay na ranggo ng tracking solusyon para sa aming mga customer. Nagbigay din kami nakakuha malaki mga plano para sa Market samuray taon na ito, at ako ay naghahanap ng inaabangan ang panahon na paglalagay ng ilang mga malalaking deposito ng magandang kalooban sa pagtitiwala bangko ang aming user account sa taong ito!

Market samuray ay naging isang murang at lubos na epektibong gastos produkto. Sinuman na ay naghahanap para sa isang pagbabalik ng bayad ay dapat na mabaliw. Ang koponan ng Market samuray sa tumugon sa lahat ng mga pagbabago sa Google ginawa, napabuti ang produkto, at pinanatili ang serbisyo at ang lahat ng mayroon kaming gawin ay magbayad ng isang off bayad. Sinuman na ay hindi nagkaroon ng kanilang mga pamumuhunan ibinalik na daan-daang beses sa paglipas ng hindi gumagamit ito nang maayos.
Nito oras upang batiin ang MS koponan at hinihikayat ang mga ito upang panatilihin ang pagpunta. Kahit na doon ay magiging isang patuloy na bayad para sa ilang mga elemento, maaari kang maging ito ay pa rin ang pinakamahusay na halaga tool sa paligid.

Ngayon na ang serbisyong aming nabili ay hindi gumagana, hulaan ko ang maaari kong maunawaan - ngunit iyon lamang ang tanging paraan ngayon upang ayusin ito ay upang singilin sa amin ng isang bagong likhang buwanang bayad mahanap ako hindi katanggap-tanggap. Sa katunayan hindi ko matandaan ang isang kumpanya ng software na kailanman ay kumukuha na nanlilinlang sa akin bago. Ang mundo ay magiging isang kumpletong kabaliwan kung bawat kumpanya nagpasya upang baguhin ang kanilang mga modelo sa pagpepresyo sa lalong madaling sila nakakuha ng sapat na mga customer.

Paano ko malalaman na ito? Well, ako lamang ay nagpadala ng mga ito ng isang e-mail tungkol sa isang taon na ang nakalipas nagdedetalye ng aking financial-sitwasyon sa oras at sila, sa labas ng makiramay, kabaitan at pag-unawa, set up ako sa isang Market-samuray account 100% walang bayad.

Ito ay mabuti upang panatilihin ang libreng tampok na ay hindi na libre sa kanila. Oo naman ito sucks, ngunit totoo lang, Market samuray ay marahil ang pinakamahusay na bundle SEO out doon.

Bakit hindi lamang hayaan ang mga ranggo software track mula sa aming mga makina at nag-aalok ng proxy serbisyo na tulad ng Big serbisyo G sa pinagkakatiwalaang mga proxy. Ako personal na gumamit ng ibang software at maaaring subaybayan 1000 mga keyword sa mas mababa sa 1 minuto gumagamit ng maramihang mga proxy na binigay ng mga ito.
O kaya sabihin lang mga tao kakailanganin nila upang makakuha ng proxy upang suriin ang ranggo at hindi sisingilin.

Market samuray ay isang mahusay na produkto ng software! At ang suporta na ang iyong koponan ay nagbibigay sa itaas ang lahat ng iba pa.
Ang bawat module ay naging isang ay dapat magkaroon at posibleng pagkakaroon na magbayad ng isang fee para sa module ng Rank Tracker para sa ilan sa amin siguro ng kaunti mahirap upang mahawakan.
Alam ko na maaaring panghawakan ang pagiging limitado sa isang libreng search na lamang ay nagbibigay-daan sa akin upang tingnan ang isang maliit na bilang ng mga keyword.
At narito ang isang pag-iisip, ikaw mag-ayos (na may sino man magpasya ka upang makuha ang data mula sa) espesyal na pagpepresyo kung saan buksan namin ang isang account, pagkatapos ay magdagdag ng aming mga account info sa lugar ng Account Pamamahala ng Market samuray tulad ng ginagawa namin para sa Google Adwords, Clickbank atbp .
Ang pagbibigay sa mga taong nais upang mangolekta ng mas maraming data ng pagpipilian upang magbayad para dito, pakiramdam hindi na kami makakuha ng ito mula sa Google.
Lamang ng isang pag-iisip!
Sinabi ni Bob:
Maaari ko maintindihan ang iyong mga problema at Pinapahalagahan ko ang katotohanan na ikaw ay pagiging tahasan tungkol sa lahat ng ito, ngunit ito ay mahalagang isang makinis na paraan ng pagsabi "Paumanhin, malaki swaths ng kung ano ang iyong binayaran para sa ay hindi na pagpunta sa gumana, maliban kung gusto mo bang magbayad ng ekstra para dito. "
Ang Ranggo ng kakayahan na Tagasubaybay ay kamay down na ang isa sa nag-iisang pinakamahalagang mga tool na gagamitin ko kapag Naghahanap ako sa pagkuha ng in sa isang bagong niche o nagtatrabaho sa isang client sa kanilang mga proyekto. Kung hindi ka maaaring magbigay ng tampok na ito pagkatapos ay tingin ko, na marahil ka ng pagpunta sa mawalan ilang mga customer.
Hindi ito isang sitwasyon ng "na binili ko ng isang mataas na sasakyan pagganap at ngayon ang presyo ng gas ay skyrocketing." Ito ay isang sitwasyon ng "binili ko ito toaster at ngayon ito ay pagpunta sa gastos sa akin sa bawat oras ko bang ilagay ang isang hiwa ng tinapay sa ang bagay. "
Ako, para sa isa, ay hindi mag-sign on na magbayad ng isang buwanang bayad. Kami ay lured, indoctrinated at ibinebenta sa isang lahat inclusive isa-off ang solusyon. Ngayon ang Google pulls ang alpombra out mula sa ilalim mo at solusyon ay ang "Nangangako kami upang pumasa sa pinaka-makatwirang bahagi ng mga gastos sa customer hangga't maaari."?!?!
At ako sigurado presyo na ito ay HINDI pumunta up, kailanman muli, hanggang sa ang iyong mga gastos pumunta up muli ... at pagkatapos ay aasikasuhin namin ng isa pang email at ng isang blog post.
Ang iyong mga produkto ay wala nang halaga kung ang pangunahing mga bahagi ng ito ay biglang gutted, anuman ang dahilan. At ito tunog tulad ng iyong mga pinakamahusay na dahilan ay "Well, sa kasamaang-palad na pinili mo ang maling kabayo, walang kasalanan ng atin siyempre - kahit namin ibebenta ang kabayo sa iyo batay sa ilang mga ipinangakong mga katangian ng pagganap. Ngunit marahil maaari naming makatulong na mapababa ang cost ng susunod na kabayo na mayroon kaming mag-alok sa iyo, mga detalye paparating na! "

Ginagamit ko ang Market samuray para sa 3 buwan ngayon, at napaka nasiyahan sa mga ito ng pag-andar.

Bill sinabi:
Ako bihira magkomento ngunit Nais kong upang bigyan ka ng ilang mga guys feedback dahil Pinapahalagahan ko kung ano ang nagawa mo na. Ang iyong programa ay naging mahusay para sa isang habang ngayon at na iyong napatunayan sa akin sa paglipas ng oras na iyon na ikaw ay lubos na masigasig sa pag-update nito at pinapahalagahan malalim tungkol sa mga serbisyo sa customer. Alam ko na nagawa mo na at patuloy na gawin ang lahat ng magagawa mo upang gumawa ng mga produkto ang pinakamahusay na maaari itong posibleng maging. Sa kasamaang palad, na nagiging mas mahirap at mas mahirap na gawin sa paglipas ng panahon minsan.
Totoo lang, sa paglipas ng mga taon ko na nagtaka kung paano ito ay posible na kung ano ang ginagawa ng MS ay maaaring magpatuloy. Naramdaman kong iyon ay lamang ng isang bagay ng oras bago ang mga search engine na ginawa sa ilang shift, lalo na ng Google, na nagbago ang lahat. Ako lamang magulat ito kinuha ito mahaba.
Ano ako kumpyansa sa ay na kung MS ay hindi maaaring gawin ito, marahil walang saysay na tao pa ang out doon magagawang alinman dahil alam ko na kung ito ay posible na gawin mo guys ay gawin itong mangyari. So MS ay patuloy na maging ang pinakamahusay na programa out doon kahit na ang kabuuang kalidad ng lahat ng mga ito ay nagiging mas kaunti.
Ako personal na hindi nais humingi ng refund dahil pakiramdam ko sa paglipas ng mga taon ko na nakuha nagkakahalaga ng aking pera ni. Ngunit kung magkano ay ko bang gamitin ang MS sa hinaharap, at kung gusto kong bayaran para sa mga serbisyo sa ito sa sandaling ito hindi ako sigurado. Lamang ako sabihin na dahil hindi ko magkaroon ng isang tonelada ng mga site ng pagpunta sa sandaling ito. Ngunit kung ako ay may ginawa ng maraming o nagkaroon ng mas pinakikinabangan negosyo internet Gusto ko marahil magbayad ng ilang mga dahil sa tingin ko ay magiging katumbas ng halaga.
Ang lahat ng maaari kong sabihin ay na mula sa produkto sa mga update sa serbisyo ng customer, kayo guys na palaging ipakita sa akin na gagawin mo ang pinakamahusay na maaari mong at pumunta sa itaas at lampas. Ito ay malungkot na ang mga pagbabago na out ng iyong control mangyari. Ngunit Umaasa ako na mga tao mapagtanto na ito ay hindi maipakita sa iyo at sumasalamin sa mas lamang ang estado ng net.

Una sa lahat ay dapat na humihingi ako ng paumanhin para sa mga Hudyo back-link na ginamit sa komentong ito.
Bilang isang may-ari ng maliit na negosyo tulad ng inyong sarili ko maawa sa iyong sitwasyon. Tulad ng lahat ng bagay sa mundo Mukhang gumagalaw at pagbabago sa bilis ng paltos ito ay nagiging halos imposible upang magplano ng isang buwan ng ulo higit na mas mababa sa isang taon o dalawa.
Ako ba na ikaw ay magkaroon ng kamalayan na rin ng pagkadismaya ito nagiging sanhi ng sa gayon ay hindi ako ay magdagdag sa mga ball busting na ako sigurado ka guys nakakakuha.
Bilang isa sa iyong mga pinakamalaking mga tagahanga Gusto ko inaasahan na i-on mo ito sa isang pagkakataon upang bumuo ng isang bagay na mas mahusay. Mayroon akong walang problema sa pagbabayad ng mga gastos hangga't ano Ako na ang magbabayad para sa akin ginagawang mas maraming pera kaysa sa kailangan kong bayaran.
Ang iyong koponan alam ng aming mga struggles ng mga online marketer at nakakaalam kung ano ang kailangan namin upang gawin upang makuha ang mga resulta na kailangan namin upang maging kumikita at talunin ang aming mga kumpetisyon. Alam ko na ito dahil sa mga produkto at pagsasanay na iyong ginawa sa ngayon.
Muli wala akong mga problema sa pagbabayad para sa aking mga tool tiyakin lamang na nagbibigay ka sa akin ng pinakamainam na mga kasangkapan sa pinakamagandang presyo sa gayon maaari kong pumusta aking kumpetisyon at maaari ba akong maging profitable sa aking negosyo.
Na ako ay isinasaalang-alang ang uwak bago ko binili Market samuray. Nagustuhan ko talaga nagustuhan ang ulap pag-andar ng kanilang mga produkto. Aking koponan ay scarred lahat ng dako ng lugar at upang magkaroon ang mga ito gumagana sa cloud sa isang lugar sa isa proyekto ay isang malaking kalamangan para sa amin. Hindi na ang software na tumatakbo sa isang lokal na machine ay isang malaking plus pati na rin. Siguro maaari naming makita ang isang Market / Artikulo samuray Cloud serbisyo sa aming hinaharap.
Natigil ako sa iyo guys dahil sa ang halaga ng pagsasanay, at kadalian sa paggamit at sa ngayon ako masaya sa aking choice. Umaasa ako na sa tingin ko ang mga parehong paraan sa susunod na buwan!
Ko talagang hindi mahalaga kung ano ang software na dumating ka ng hanggang sa bilang hangga't nito ang isang "Rolls Royce" at nito hindi isang "Pinto"
Lubos na bumabati at good luck sa mga ito!

Eugene: napaka ako ay mangyaring malaman na ikaw ay gumagalaw sa isang modelo subscription based. Ang isang pag-aalala ako ay nagkaroon na may Market samuray ay hindi na ako nag-pakiramdam nais mong magkaroon ang umuulit na kita upang pondohan ang negosyo. Ang patuloy na pag-unlad gastos ay dapat na kakila-kilabot. Nang walang umuulit na kita ito ay ginagawang halos imposible upang panatilihin ang mga negosyo sa itaas ng tubig (sa aking opinyon).
Nagbayad ako para sa Market samuray ng ilang taon na ang nakakaraan at hindi nais managinip ng humihingi para sa isang refund. Kapag Market samuray ay "kanan" ito ay isang kahanga-hangang tool. Ako paki na gumagawa ka ng mga kinakailangang mga pagbabago sa iyong negosyo upang panatilihing Market samuray "karapatan."
Para sa mga taong masaya sa mga bagong modelo ng subscription, hayaan mo akong humingi ka ng isang katanungan. Gusto mo sa halip na magbayad ng isang maliit na pera sa bawat buwan at magkaroon ng access sa isang kamangha-manghang mga tool o mas gugustuhin mong makita ang mga masasarap na mga tao sa Market samuray isara ang kanilang mga negosyo dahil wala silang mga pinansiyal na mga mapagkukunan upang mapanatili ang tool?
May ay isang mahalagang aralin dito - "Subukan na bumuo ng isang umuulit na stream ng kita sa iyong negosyo. Ang paggawa nito ay kapansin-pansing taasan ang posibilidad ng iyong tagumpay. "

Walang hindi ko gagawin - dahil batay sa nakaraang karanasan, walang kasiguruhan na ang mga ito ay makabuo ng mga kalakal. Dapat nilang mapatunayan na gumagana ang una (hindi tulad ng mga produkto sa ngayon) at pagkatapos ay hilingin sa mga tao para sa pera.

Tulad ng sinabi ko sa orihinal na komento. . "Kapag Market samuray ay 'KARAPATAN' - ito ay isang kahanga-hangang tool." Huwag mong sundin?

Hi Joe,
Salamat para sa iyong mga saloobin.
Ang iyong 100% karapatan tungkol sa mga umuulit na kita. Ang aming orihinal na negosyo plano ay upang lumikha ng isang mahusay na halaga nakapirming presyo na piraso ng software, at pagkatapos ay i-follow up sa mas mahusay na software, ang ilan sa kung saan ay ipagbibili sa isang batayang continuity. Artikulo samuray ay ang unang ng mga ito.
Gayunpaman, kung ano ang aming ganap underestimated noon ay kung magkano ang nais magtrabaho aabutin upang panatilihin ang Market samuray up at patuloy na gumana!
Ngunit ang iyong mga punto ay nananatiling, kung nagkaroon kami ng pag-iintindi sa kinabukasan upang isama ang anumang mga elemento ng umuulit na kita sa Market samuray, mga bagay ay magiging ibang-iba, at gusto namin ay nagkaroon higit pang mga mapagkukunan upang gumana sa Market samuray, at upang magpatuloy upang mapalawak ito ng pag-andar. Ito ay * talagang * mahirap na baguhin ang mga inaasahan pricing mamaya!

Maaari ko lamang isipin ang kapakumbabaan sa tingin mo kapag ang isang bagay tulad ang pagbabagong ito sa Google nangyayari. Binili ko MS 3 mga araw na nakalipas at kaya sa ngayon, ako ay damdamin nagsisisi nang taos at ng kaunti ginulangan. Kaya ako ay naghahanap ng inaabangan ang panahon na nakakaranas GS hanggang sa sagad. Pakiramdam ko ako ay isang "tunay na" user kahit na "ito" ay isang pantulong na hanapbuhay ko pa pinagsusumikapan. Ako kailangang muling pag-isipan ang isang subscription dahil ang economics ng aking sambahayan ay nangangailangan ito ... lamang ng pagpapadala sa presyo ng pagbili ay isang malaking pakikitungo para sa akin. Hindi ko ma-pawalang-sala, personal, isang subscription. Kung na gumagawa sa akin ng isang mas tunay na user ... pagkatapos kaya ito.

Eugene,
Binabati kita para sa 1) isang mahusay na produkto at 2) sa paghawak ng isang kalamidad na lagpas sa iyong control na may kumpletong propesyonalismo.
Ano ang higit pa Maaari tumatangkilik para sa isang buong refund? At pinaghihinalaan ko na nag-aalok sa pamamagitan ng isa upang malayang maraming mga customer, aking sarili kasama, ay rerespetuhin ang iyong posisyon at hindi humingi ng refund.
Ang tunay na kalaban ng bida dito ay Google, sila lamang makakuha ng higit pang kasamaan napaka-araw. Ko talaga inaasahan ang anti tiwala mga tao ilagay ang mga ito sa kanilang lugar.
Hindi ako isang fan ng isang pulutong ng EU ang ibig ngunit sila mukhang gumawa ng mga pang-aabuso anti tiwala sa pamamagitan ng USA negosyo mas sineseryoso kaysa sa Pamahalaan ng US Federal ibig, saksi Microsoft. Ako ba na ang Feds ay ibalik ang pabor kung namin kailanman makakuha ng isang nangingibabaw European negosyo.
Google na binuo ng isang negosyo sa pamamagitan ng pagiging ang mga mundo pinakamalaking data tagapagkayod, babayaran nila para sa walang ang data magsimot nila, gumawa sila bilyun-bilyong pamamagitan ng pagbebenta ng advertising sa likod ng data na iyon. Bakit hindi nila magbigay ng isang ranggo sa API sa isang makatarungang halaga? Bakit nila pilitin sa amin upang i-simutin ang pispis ang mga ito upang suriin ang mga ranggo, dapat itong maging isang malaking-load sa kanilang mga server? Kapag negosyo nakakakuha ng merkado pangingibabaw tulad ng Google din sila kumuha ng responsibilidad upang kumilos nang walang kinikilingan.
Larry at Sergei ay madalas na di-naka-quote, ang kanilang mga kasabihan ay talagang "Huwag maging masama hanggang sa ikaw ay nangingibabaw market".
Sino ang nakakaalam, kung ang mga ito na ibinigay ng isang pagraranggo API sila ay maaaring kahit na bawasan ang ilan sa kanilang carbon footprint?
Natutuwa akong ka recommending makintab na itim bilang isang stop-agwat sa, kami ay din ng isang makintab na itim na customer at gumawa sila ng isang mahusay na produkto, ngunit ito ay hindi isang kapalit para sa Noble samuray, makakakuha tayo ng halaga mula sa paggamit ng mga ito pareho.
Siyempre bilang SEO kami sa KPI malaman na ito ay hindi na ranggo sa count, ito ay resulta, ngunit kami ay may upang bigyan ang aming mga customer kung ano ang hilingin nila para sa, at sila ay laging humingi ng pagraranggo.
Hindi kumbinsido tungkol sa Binghoo bilang isang kahalili para sa amin sa UK dahil ang Google ay may isang mas malaking hiwa ng pie sa paglipas dito at doon pa rin ang mga wika at kultural na mga pagkakaiba sa USA, sa kabila ng katotohanang matagumpay mong na-invaded sa aming mga sinehan at TV.

Ito ay isang awa tungkol sa ranggo tracker ngunit sa tingin ko ito magkano ang mas mahalaga na ang keyword na pagtatasa at SEO kumpetisyon

Sinabi ni Alex:
Hello!
Gumagamit ako ng MS para sa halos 3 taon na ngayon. Ito ay isang mahusay na, well naisip-through produkto: mahusay na dinisenyo, madaling gamitin, malakas.
Sa huling 12 o kaya buwan namin ang lahat ng napansin na ito makapagsimula ng pagpunta pababa, una sa pamamagitan ng stumbling dito sa doon, pagkatapos ay sa pamamagitan ng pagla-lock up at kagyat bagsak. At ang bilang ng mga upgrades ... oh boy, tila sa bawat oras na simulan mo ang MS doon ay isa pang upgrade patch o naghihintay para sa iyo.
Ito ay hindi isang MS ng kasalanan ... at pa - ito ay. Ito ay hindi ang kanilang mga kasalanan dahil kung sakaling Aaksyunan Google sa anumang sa mga hakbangin na dapat mong malaman na hindi nila maaaring pagkatiwalaan. Mahalaga sa mga ito ay hindi tungkol sa kanilang mga user o ng sinumang tumawag sila "kasosyo".
Baguhin nila ang kanilang algos, API, Ihagis, mga ulat, data, sila simulan at i-drop ang mga proyekto at tumanggap lamang ang kanilang mga sarili sa kapinsalaan ng lahat. Conniving, walang awa mga anak na lalaki-ng-bitches dapat isa tumakbo ang layo mula sa, hindi makikipagtulungan o bumuo ng isa sa hinaharap na may.
Well, lahat tayo ay natigil sa Google para sa isang habang. Hindi ito ang oras para sa kanila upang pumunta pa. Ito ay nagdudulot sa akin pabalik sa MS. Maaaring ito ay ang panahon para sa MS upang muling mag-isip nang husto kung nais nilang magpatuloy down na ito kalsada makita nila. Ang galos lamang bilang ng mga patch at pag-upgrade sa mga produkto ay isang matangkad pulang bandila. Ito ay nangangahulugan na ang produkto outlived nito disenyo at kalikasan at ito ay bumabagsak na bukod. Ang pagpapanatili ng ito, pati na ang MS staff stoically nagawa na, ay simpleng unsustainable para sa kumpanya.
Eugene, ikaw ay sumagot sa lahat ng iyong mga customer 'alalahanin nang hayagan at maganda. Maraming salamat sa inyo! Ngunit bilang CEO ng kumpanya ay mayroon ka upang dalhin ang lahat ng iyong mga tao na sama-sama at magpasya kung ano ang susunod na gagawin. Siguro ito ay oras na para umusad, siguro ganap muling kumatha sa misyon ng kumpanya, produkto at serbisyo. Patuloy na pababa sa kasalukuyan landas ay magiging hindi mapagpapaumanhinan basura ng oras at ang iyong mga tao ng talent.

Mate salamat sa pag-update, at para sa mga mahusay na serbisyo na ikaw at ang iyong koponan na ibinigay mo sa akin (sa aming lahat talaga) sa nakalipas na 3 at isang bit na taon. Ako ay gumagamit ng Market samuray mula sa simula at pag-ibig kung ano ang ibig sabihin nito sa aking negosyo at ang paglago nito ay ibinigay ng aking mga kliyente dahil sa mga kahanga-hangang mga resulta.
Sinuman gamit ang Market samuray software ay dapat Pinahahalagahan kung ano ang posisyon ikaw ay nasa, ang galos lamang katunayan na ang Google ay nagbabago ang mga post Patuloy layunin ay ang napaka-parehong dahilan ang aming mga negosyo ay magagawang upang mabuhay. SEO ay magiging patay kung namin ang lahat ay nagkaroon ng parehong algorithm ng Google na ngayon na nagkaroon kami 2003, at may mahusay na dapat din namin tanggapin ang mga masama.
Alam ko ang ROI sa aking orihinal na MS investment ay mas mahusay kaysa sa aking Mac kaya walang paraan ako ay humihingi para sa isang refund, at kung hindi ko makuha ang isang maliit na dagdag na buwanang gastos (kung mayroong upang maging) mula sa aking bayarin sa pagbabayad ng mga kliyente , pagkatapos ay ako ay nasa maling negosyo, at dapat shut up shop!!!.
Ikaw at ang iyong koponan gawin ang isang mahusay na trabaho at ang mga na sa amin na nalagyan dito mula noong simula ay ang tumayo sa pamamagitan ng iyong desisyon kung alinman ang paraan na ito ay.
Maaga o huli ang mga itlog sa isa basket makita ang torta, at iyon lamang ang paraan ng ito ay.
Oh at isa pa ang punto, kami ay lahat na masaya na intindihin mula sa data numero out sa araw obertura (bago ang Google Keyword Tool) kaya kung kailangan namin upang gawin na ito ngayon para sa isang pahiwatig, pagkatapos kaya ito!
Kami ay nasa iyong sulok!!!
Cheers

Simon James sinabi:
Ako ay isang beta tester ng software na ito, at kapag ito ay opisyal na inilunsad, ako ay shocked at dismayed na ito ay HINDI isang subscription based na serbisyo. Mula sa pasulong na sandali pagsulat ay sa pader na may patungkol sa kung paano mabilis na maaari mong panatilihin at magsagawa ng pagbabago sa produktong ito.
Sa kapaligiran ng negosyo software dumating ko mula sa, taunang maintenance mga bayarin ay ang mga pamantayan para sa magandang dahilan. Mga customer magreklamo tungkol sa pagkakaroon upang bayaran ang 20% + ng kanilang pagbili fee bilang isang bayad na suporta, ngunit ang alternatibong ay upang magbayad ng 300% o higit pa tapat bayarin upang matiyak na pagpapatuloy ng mga serbisyo.
Ito ay isa sa mga pangunahing mga kadahilanan na hindi mo sa pamamagitan ng bargain presyo WP plug-in at iba pang software off ang mga lugar tulad ng mga mandirigma Forum ... dahil, tulad ng hindi, ito ay nasira sa 6 na buwan ng oras at may-akda ay hindi magkakaroon ng mga mapagkukunan kinakailangan upang ayusin ito.
Joseph sinabi:
MS ay nagpakita ng isang hindi kapani-paniwala na halaga para sa kung ano ang nagbibigay ito, lalo na sa isang isa cost oras. Malinaw y'all na nagpakita na "gastos" ay maaaring pinagtibay sa isang modelo ng negosyo - na isinasaalang-alang kung paano mo hinahawakan ang marilag SEO nang hindi pagpasa sa mga gastos (salamat). Malinaw na gumagastos ng pera ay hindi ang ginustong pamamaraan, ngunit negosyo na ito ay tila na maging isang pabagu-bago ng isip sa halip ng isa kaya C'est la makipag-agawan.
Gusto ko ang mga ideya sa mga tampok ng premium sa isang buwanang bayad. Sa tingin ko sa pagkakaroon ng abot-kayang mga bersyon ay mahalaga para sa mga taong nagsisimula out bagaman. Ang pinakamalaking labanan ng may pag-aalinlangan. Kung MS naging isang buwanang subscription kapag ako makapagsimula, ako ay marahil hindi sana ay tapos na ito. Ngayon ako sa negosyo at makita kung paano mahalagang ito ay.

Eugene,
As one of your earlier users, guess several years now at least, I've been constantly amazed at the service you've provided over the years, especially with the number of features you've added while the price has remained constant. Have never understood how you did it.Those of us who signed up in the early days had no idea what MS would evolve into and to say that we've been pleasantly surprised would be an understatement.
As a full time SEO guy I understand the job you're trying to do is almost impossible, as google itself doesn't seem to know what it wants to deliver on a given day. As Elizabeth said above, you've always come thru, and we greatly appreciate. As a SEO person, MS has always been my starting point for many services but as anyone knows that's in this business, it takes more than one tool to completely and thoroughly do your job and for this MS remains without equal in pointing us to other avenues to explore as well as providing nearly all the core tools to get started.
So thanks for all you've done and continuing to do. We appreciate your frankness in what's going on, just please keep us updated and good luck.
MS Rocks,
Mandala

Usage based billing seems fair, I am sure that some people use the searches much more frequently than others and perhaps they should pay more.
In any event, this service is most valuable to all users and I, for one, would like to see it maintained.

Well, SEO will always be a bumpy road. And the Samurai road is still the best!

Dear MS-team,
I have been using MS only for few weeks. It is truly pity that Google changed their rules, but I 100 % understand that it is not your fault. You cannot control Google. I send you all my best regards and energy so that you can work hard in order to get the service back. I will definitely recommend MS to other people too.
Thank you, and hope that MS is working soon again.

David said:
Hi Eugene… an awkward situation for you and one that was bound to cause a lot of flak, so bravo for sticking your head above the parapet like you have…
First I'd like to add my support for you – providing a product like MS can only be a constant support nightmare in terms of the shifting sands of the big G… and well done for (more or less) keeping up with it to this point. Having met some of your team at IM events I can see you have some absolutely top notch people on board and that you have a great company.
Second, your fixed price offer business model has always been a great feature of MS, but obviously also one of its long term problems (for you, and ultimately the customers if it becomes unviable), even with the tens of thousands of customers you must have and I can totally understand your desire to add a recurring element to it if possible.
Third though, and the bit that concerns me slightly is your apparent promotion of alternatives like (to quote) the excellent Raven Tools. Are you really trying to encourage people away from MS so it can slide off quietly into the sunset??
MS has provided me a bundle of value, so immense thanks for that. Be good to know the longer term intent though.
Pinakamagaling

Sonny Lanorias @ Online Marketing Philippines said:
Thanks for the heads-up and keeping us upto date with the latest in the SEO world.
So the question is, are we going to pay on a monthly basis on the near future using the MS software? Even if I do, am still gonna use Market Samurai because its the best out there.
Online business starts with keyword research if you want to hit it hard. Hitting it hard means doing SEO. So without market samurai, everything will be time wasted.
So thanks again and please keep us posted. You rock Eugene!

To say I am mystified is an understatement. I am a disabled pensioner with very limited funds of approximately £490 per month, which includes small pp's. I also live on my own in a rented flat costing me £460 per month.
To survive I try to sell books on a website that continually lets me down, partly because of failing memory (I attend memory clinic)but mainly because I've never been computer literate anyway.
I now seem to spend all my time fighting battles on several fronts, especially the banks plus an ongoing determination to get some recompense for my service pension that was robbed by the Harold Wilson Government in 1975 & which this government refuses to address.
I gamble online using my system which actually works, but breaks down occasionally because of website failure and which I'm currently trying to find expert to put right. I have tried to put my ideas on economy before government (no response) but have support of several MP's and friends who understand my 'alternative' people's lottery & can't understand why 'those in power' won't even listen.
Now this from google. I do not know what to do.

Hi Eugene ! Sorry if my English is not perfect…
I purchased Market Samurai few months ago. This is definitely the best service I could find for the best price ! You're doing an awesome job guys !
Concerning paying a monthly fee, I understand but I hope that it will be an “option”.
I use MS for personal use mostly. This will not always be the case, but as for now : I only track a very small number of keywords concerning rankings. A free service for a very small number of queries per month would definitely be useful (and appreciated I believe).
Keep up the good work !
Dustin said:
Seriously guys MS has been offering the best service out of all the crappy limited use products on the web, i've been through countless $thousands finding and trying applications and MS have been the best out of the lot.
Who cares if you have to pay for data, that's what everyone else has been doing for years at a least these guys are being transparent.
Great Job guys you rock, disappointing but hey that's life.

Swaminathan said:
I have been using Market Samurai since the beginning, and have used all the functionalities of the tool for my clients. It has been a tool I use every day, though at times I get irritated at the frequent updates.:) Now I know why you guys update so often.
I also pay $77 per month for SECockpit since I found the keyword analysis faster.
I don't need the refund – in fact, if MS can improve on its speed like secockpit keyword analysis, I wouldn't mind paying a monthly subscription and cancel my secockpit membership.
You guys are good, and I do hope you will emerge stronger from the challenges you face.
Good Luck.
Dan Trinidad said:
Hi Eugene,
I'm new to MS and I'm in the final days of my trail period. I have tried other services and am completely sold on MS. I actually thought that MS was very inexpensive and was surprised at all that your company offered for a one time fee.
I'm not saying that I want to pay more, but I would honestly pay double and a reasonable monthly fee for your service.
No business model could sustain it's value and continued adaptation without an increase of costs. I personally don't think you should have to be so apologetic. If your long time members have been using your software for years, then they should have gotten more than what they bargained for.
Quit being so damn cheap people! If you don't like it, use all the other free alternatives, and see how that works out for you.
Anyhow, looking forward to becoming a paid member when your team gets your issue resolved.
Best,
Dan

I am a newbie to the whole marketing online thing. I run appslisting which is a platform for Apple & the iTunes store regarding apps for smart phones & i am having a difficult time as it is trying to get my head around everything as it is so i hope you guys can work this problem out sooner rather than later & i would be than happy to pay a subscription if it was worked out on a sliding scale, Those who use your service heavily pay a higher subscription than those like myself whom are just trying to get things up & running & don't have full knowledge of what your product is capable of doing for a sight..
Keep up the good work ..

Colin Sanders said:
I've done everything from the original Google Adwords course to a large number of SEO and IM products out there. To those who care to complain about what has happened to Market Samurai, please do your research BEFORE complaining! Let me tell you there are only about three (some would say only two) competing products in this space (price vs functionality). Sure you could change horses to one of the other one (or two) competitors but they too have been hit by every change Google has thrown at affiliate marketing and those of us who try to make a living off the net. The difference I see between MS and the other product(s) is the level of transparency on why things break and the dedication to fix/deliver the very best product at the very lowest price. Sure we can go back to some of the “free” manual methods we used to use (though many of them no longer work properly either(if at all) in the face of all the changes by Google (and others)) but God-forbid the hours and hours of manual research that was necessary to do what MS has made so much less painful over the years. And yes, you could gather a whole bunch of individual tools to do the various functions provided by the MS modules, but my previous comments still stand and in some cases you would have to pay monthly subscriptions for individual components which don't necessarily even integrate very well, so I for one will not be asking for a refund! Google totally black-banned me (for life) from using Adwords because of a single transgression caused by one of the products I trialled. Google has also recently completely shut down a vast number of their products with NIL concern for their customer base, many thousands of whom used those products in their lives and businesses (read the forums). Google will continue to change the playing field making it harder and harder to make affiliate marketing pay-off as they refine their primary goal of providing “the best search engine”. Some of the collateral damage is those business who have attempted to help us work in the face of IM changes. While I am in no way affiliated to MS (apart from owning the product) I suggest continued support of MS in the face of what will become a constantly more difficult marketing world.

Jeff said:
Dapat nating asahan ang mga bagay na baguhin ito, kung ano ang nagdadala sa amin inaabangan ang panahon (pangkalahatan sa pagsasalita!) At ang kanyang palaging kaya. Binili ko MS tungkol sa tatlong linggo ang nakalipas, sa gayon maaari mong isipin kung paano nararamdaman ko.
Ako hesitated para sa isang mahabang panahon bago pagbili, dahil malalim down na ako pinaghihinalaan (siguro pa rin ba akong gawin) na MS ay isang sledgehammer-to-crack-a-kulay ng nuwes para sa akin. Hindi ako isang pro SEO tao, tumingin ako pagkatapos ng site ang aking sariling negosyo ', at na ito. Anumang patuloy na buwanang gastos, kung ito ay hindi naging bahagi ng paunang pitch benta, gusto halos tiyak na 'napatunayan' na ito kahit na mahusay na pro tool ay overkill para sa akin.
Ano ako ay sinasabi na ang sinuman sa aking mga posisyon (hindi ko maaaring maging ang isa lamang na hindi maaaring labanan ang isang self-mapagpalayaw pagbili?!) Ay gustong-gusto lamang upang ma-check ang isang maliit na maliit na bilang ng data para sa libre, nagkakaroon binili ang produkto. At kung MS ay kumikita ako ng makabuluhang mga chunks ng aking kinikita, pagkatapos ay hindi ko nais na bagay upang magbayad para sa dagdag na mahusay na kalidad ng data ay nagbibigay ito. Alin sa mga guys daing tungkol sa nagbabayad ay inihanda upang pumunta sa pag-aalok ng kanilang sariling mga serbisyo sa parehong presyo kung ang kanilang mga paggugol Dinoble? Hindi marami ...
At sa wakas, isa pang punto; ito ay marahil ang pinakamahusay na halimbawa ang maaari kong matandaan kung paano pangasiwaan ang isang krisis, at pakikitungo sa mga customer na alam mo ay pagpunta sa ay mapataob sa pamamagitan ng kung ano ang nangyari sa mga serbisyo magbigay ka para sa kanila. Ikaw ay bukas, matapat at malinaw tungkol sa kung ano ang nangyari at kung bakit, at sinasabi mo sa amin kung ano ang iyong ginagawa tungkol dito. Bilang isang bagong customer (na alam mo ibinebenta isang magandang produkto ngunit hindi magkano pa ang tungkol sa iyo), ako pag-aaral magkano ang tungkol sa iyong kakaibang paniniwala at mga halaga sa pamamagitan ng iyong tugon sa mga ito, at mayroon akong sabihin sa iyo - ito ay bumubuo ng katapatan. Siyempre ang ilang mga tao ay samantalahin ang pagkakataong ito upang makuha ang kanilang pera pabalik sa isang ngisngisan, ngunit karamihan sa mga tao hindi naghahanap lamang para sa pinakamababang gastos, hinahanap nila ang pinakamahusay na kalidad. Ang katotohanan na sa iyo sa tumugon sa gayon positibo, kahit na lantaran hindi makatwiran pintas dito, ay nagpapakita sa akin sa iyo pag-aalaga. Iyon ay may halaga, at nagkakahalaga, sa isang produkto. Sa mga oras ng pagkamahigpit at paghihirap, mayroong isang paglilinis proseso at tae sa lababo sa ibaba o mawala nang sama-sama. Hindi ako umaasa na para sa iyo. Good luck!
Neil Mighalls sinabi:
Well nag hindi ko kahit na isang subscriber Market samuray, (hindi pa pa rin) ngunit ako ay isang negosyo tao at ako ay nagkaroon ng ilang mga tagumpay sa Internet Marketing. Sa aking opinyon anumang enterprise na nauugnay sa kanilang mga customer sa paraang ito ay isang nagwagi sa pamamagitan ng akin.
David Ballantyne sinabi:
Hi,
Katatapos ko lamang nais upang ipaalam sa iyo na napaka ako nasiyahan sa mga serbisyo Nakatanggap ako mula sa iyo upang petsa.
Sa pagsasaalang-alang ng mga halaga para sa pera, sa tingin ko na ang mga customer na pagpapahayag ng kawalang-kasiyahan ay dapat suriin ang ibang mga service provider. Para sa parehong hanay ng mga pag-andar na magagamit sa Market samuray, hindi ko pa nakita ang anumang iba pang mga service provider na hindi sisingilin ng isang buwanang bayad. Hindi ko pa nakita ang anumang iba pang mga maihahambing na SEO software na available sa relatibong mababa ang presyo na sisingilin sa pamamagitan ng Market samuray.
Lagi ko pa kataka-taka kung bakit buwanang singil ay hindi inilapat bilang hindi ito mukhang isang praktikal modelo ng negosyo sa akin. Ang tanging paraan na maaari mong pondohan ang patuloy na pag-unlad at mapanatili ang mga umiiral na mga serbisyo ay upang makahanap ng mas maraming mga customer.
Bilang Bumabati ng isang buwanang bayad, ang aking sariling mga payo ay magiging sa survey na mga customer upang masuri kung ano ang gusto nila maging handa upang magbayad. Ang aking sariling damdamin ay na para sa Market samuray bilang ito ay bago sa kasalukuyang mga problema lumitaw, nais kong maging masyadong masaya na magbayad $ 15USD sa isang buwan. Sa 400,000 mga user na gusto magdala ng $ 6,000,000 US dollars sa isang buwan! Isipin mo na ang pagbuo ng produkto na maaari mong gawin sa mga iyon!
Tulad ng isinasaad sa pamamagitan ng isang nakaraang poster, Gusto ko sa halip magbayad ng isang maliit na buwanang bayad upang matiyak na ang mga mahusay na halaga ng pera para sa produkto na Market samuray ay, at ang unang klase ng serbisyo sa customer nakukuha namin mula sa Noble samuray, patuloy.
William Bradley sinabi:
Thanks for your reponses Eugene. I completely agree with the above post about how well you are acting when confronted with an issue. I also believe that a subscription model is inevitable, much as I'd love to keep using it for free. Commercial reality cannot be avoided. I have had Market Samurai since it came out during the Thirty Day Challenge and fail to see how anyone can not have gained more value than they paid. I commend you and your team for their professionalism and forthright stance.
Jason Davis said:
First of all I am not really a user, I have used the trial version, I am a developer and I would just like to make a statement. I have used many different software for social networks and they are very different from this but in a way they share a similar challenge. Twitter, Facebook, etc are constantly making changes that break the software built around these sites and I can tell you that a lot of company's get your money and once there software breaks from a change like this, they disappear and the customer is left hanging, so it is very noble of noblesamurai to not only tell you what the problems they are facing but also tell you they will fix it the best that it can be fixed given the circumstances out of there reach, they could very easily close of shop and open a new software with a new name and start collecting money all over again but instead they are dedicated to keeping this a solid reliable product.
The point of this post is that many company's come up against very similar problems as this and they trun there back on the customer, so it's always good to see a small company doing the right thing, congrats to your success, you are obviously number 1 for a reason
Reggie said:
I hope you can solve the issues soon and wishing you the best. I am new in online business and I found that Market Samurai is the best tool there is to date that I have seen and cost less among others. I have just purchased it a few weeks ago and am really surprise that this problems are arising. I don't intend to refund, what I like to see is how your company will recover with these issues, I know there will be solutions to every problem so keep up the good work guys.
Thanks for providing such a useful tool with a minimal price.

Bob Stevens said:
Your company is a disgrace. The product hasn't worked properly for months, your customer service is terrible, and now you are asking people to pay extra if they want it to function even remotely like the original description in your marketing hype? Just be honest, you have known for a long time of it's flaky problems, which is why you put your efforts into your new products. And you have continued to sell it in spite of it's shortcomings? As I said, disgraceful, you shouldn't be allowed to be in business.
Nige said:
Unfortunately Google has history of slapping both the marketers and the SEO software manufacturers in the interest of improving their service (profit margin). As such subscription would appear the only viable alternative and something that we as marketers need to start factoring into our costs. I already pay one company for a rank tracker software, so this will be an opportunity to compare two paid modules and make a decision based on which service provides the best feature set / value for my requirements.
If you don't need it, don't buy it. But if it has value and allows noble samurai to continue their development of this invaluable software then dig a little deeper.
Vince Samios said:
Frankly – MS is the best supported, most functional tool of its type.
Every single time I use market samurai there is a new update… and whenever there is a big change, MS has a solution within hours…
Much of the success of my companies, now with a 7 figure turnover, is down to the information and insight Market Samurai provides. From a personal perspective I'd be a moron if I chose not to pay for Market Samurai now that, as Eugene rightly says, what was free, now isn't.
An unlimited, no questions asked refund policy? Thats bloody absurd – and another reason MS is the #1 product – the support is redunculous (in a good way)
I have a lot to thank MS and the team for, consider this a strong vote of confidence and support.
Karl said:
Why can't you just enforce users to use private proxies? This way it stops you guys having huge queries on your servers? : S
Graham said:
I have just checked my Traffic Travis Pro I haven't used for a while and most of their data seems to be working OK..
Any reason for this? Are they using different data?
I've had MS for a couple of years and have always been happy with support and the performance and I will reciprocate that support now.
Great things are achieved when your backs up against the wall..!

Hi there,
Thanks for responding to the questions, can i make a recomendation that you also respond to other blogs out there slagging off your business becase they are not informed. A simple paragraph would help myself and others who were not aware of your diligence and response and also perhaps not awaer of this blog despite purchasing your software.
Can I also ask for help for you clarifying the seo competion section.
Is this going to be up and running soon_
Is this going to be free or an additional cost
sorry if the answer is here overwhelmed by the detail

Eugene Ware replied:
Hi Lee,
Thanks for your question and for looking out for us. We're pretty good at monitoring our name, but being the weekend and having all hands on our deck either working on solutions or getting back to support enquiries there hasn't been a lot of extra capacity.
To answer you question:
- Everything except Rank Tracker is now working 100% again.
- Rank Tracker now has Google Rank Tracking re-enabled, but only for small numbers of keywords while we work on a more permanent solution.
- Market Samurai will still be a fixed cost product. We have no plans to change this in the short-medium term.
- Rank Tracker may have a free number of searches (if we can make the numbers work), and we will probably employ a usage based model so that heavy users of Rank Tracker will pay more. Not much has been decided in this regard, but we will strive to make it as affordable as possible for our existing customers, and if we can't offer some free service, then we'll definitely charge the minimum amount to cover costs.
- The SEO competition module is now 100% working. The rank results come from Google.
- The “SEOC” numbers in the Keyword Research module have been updated to return data from Bing. They won't return exactly the same numbers as Google for example, but they will still be useful to filter out keywords with high numbers of competitors. Any keyword that you pick should still go through a full SEO Competition Matrix analysis (and back link analysis) before you invest any time in it, in our opinion.
Thanks Lee for the heads up! I just realised I should probably update the blog post with what's being going on (ie that most of the service outages have been resolved).
JanPaul said:
Hi Eugene,
You are right about using Bing instead of Google. I myself am getting more and more fed up with the preselected search results Google comes up with nowadays. I have tested several searchengines for a few questions and Google really does not always come up with such good answers.
Keeping things simple is also an art, so if I were you I would not follow Google in making things too complicated. Let them have their fun on their own.
Ang lahat ng mga pinakamahusay na,
JP

Hey Eugene…
It seems that Google has done it again. They're very good at many things, including destroying the businesses of many hard working people.
I've been a Samurai user for a long time. And at a one time price of $97.00… a bargain of a lifetime. Keep up the good work and good luck to you.

Gayunpaman, ko talagang hindi kayang bayaran ang anumang uri ng buwanang subscription.

Hi Dave,
Salamat sa iyong mga komento.
Hindi namin gusto mong gawin ito, ngunit kapag ginagawa namin makikita namin ay hardest upang panatilihin itong abot-kayang para sa aming mga gumagamit, at kahit na subukan (kung posible) upang magkaroon ng isang libreng linya, kung saan maaari mong subaybayan ang isang maliit na bilang ng mga keyword ng libre. Kahit kami landi sa pagkakaroon ng isang credit sistema upang ang kaswal user ay maaari pa ring makakuha ng ilang mga pakinabang ng isang subscription na hindi kailangang naka-lock sa isang buwanang subscription.
Alam namin gamit ang mga kasalukuyang kalagayang pang-ekonomiya, ito ay nagiging mas mahirap at mas mahirap upang bigyang-katwiran patuloy na buwanang gastos. Gagawin namin ang aming makakaya upang panatilihing bagay na ito bilang abot-kayang hangga't maaari, at umaasa na magbigay ng mga pagpipilian na hindi kayang bayaran ng patuloy na pangako. Hindi ko ipinapangako ng anumang bagay sa yugtong ito - lamang na sabihin na hindi namin alam ang mga isyu at susubukan talagang nagsisikap upang gawin itong gumana para sa lahat, anuman ang kanilang mga pang-ekonomiyang sitwasyon.

Very disappointing, guys. While I understand there are changes outside your control, I think there are functionalities in MS you can do without. The core you should keep are Keyword Research, SEO Competition, and Rank Tracker. Those are the only functions I use. The rest is useless.
If/when you start charging for a basic functionality like Rank Tracker, I will ask for a full refund. Long Tail Pro gives me a free rank tracker, so why should I pay for yours?
Let alone if you use Raven's framework, why shouldn't I just go straight to them? Is there any compelling reason to pay you?
You're quickly becoming useless and irrelevant. As someone who recently bought MS, I wonder why I even bothered.

Hi Johan,
Thanks for your comments.
I'm sorry that you're feeling let down.
The majority of our attention each week goes into keeping those three modules operational. They are the three most constantly changing modules, and that's what we update each day to continue to work.
I haven't heard of Long Tail Pro and I will certainly check out their software and see if there is anything we can learn from how they're managing this issue. If it's currently working, then I encourage you to use it, and you're certainly entitled to a full refund.
In terms of Raven Tools, you'll find that our pricing will be a lot more competitive in general, and more geared to the real needs of our customers (who want the ability to monitor web2.0 results and specific URLs) – and if you're an existing Market Samurai customer we'll essentially give you wholesale pricing.
I'm sorry you feel this way about our products. It's sounds like you're quite upset, please feel free to ask for a full refund at any time.
Thanks again for being so honest about how you're feeling, and I hope we'll have the opportunity to earn back your trust and respect.

Hi Monica,
Thanks for your support!
As I write this response the team has now restored Keyword Research, SEO Competition and most of the service that Find Content and the Promotion Module use.
Rank Tracker has now been restored (but in a limited fashion, so you can check the Google Ranks for small numbers of keywords using your own computer instead of our servers).
To get access to these new modules, please update to the latest version of Market Samurai by launching the application and saying “Yes” to updates.
A more permanent Rank Tracker solution will be quite a large undertaking, and it will be several weeks away at least, I'm guessing.
Thanks again Monica for your kind words.
Maca said:
Thanks for keeping us updated with what's going on. It's a real shame what's happened, but that's life. We just have to find the best solution and get on with it. I look forward to getting Rank Tracker back, even if it is a paid version.

I echo the sentiments of “Charles M” Rocky and the others. Our company has made good money out of our $97 investment by providing excellent ranking websites to our clients over the 2 years we have been using it. Now is the time to support the team at MS and by doing that let them get on and find a solution that all of us will benefit from. 400,000 users have some muscle in the market for ranking data information so a monthly fee as part of the MS package that is fair is totally reasonable. Cheers for the update Eugene and there will be no refund requests from this company.

I have no problem with the rank tracking being a chargeable service – given the explanation of why it is necessary.
All I ask is that this be an optional extra and that you don't introduce a charge for the rest of the functionality.
Edwin said:
The ONLY reason I bought MS in the first place was the rank tracking function. I do use it on a blue moon for SEO competition but as I have all the sites I want I am not activly looking for new keyword research etc.
So reading this all makes it easy for me…I will build my own rank tracking functions.
Goodbye MS … I have used your product for about 2 years now so it has been worth it but I will never use a monthly payment service for ranktracking as the reason I bought your product the first place was that I was to lazy at that moment to create something myself.

Eugene Ware replied:
Hi Edwin,
Thanks for your feedback.
On the face of it, writing software to query Google seems like a relatively technical undertaking. I used to be software developer and I certainly thought so when I first tackled the problem for the first time.
If you do decide to write your own code to do this here are some tips:
The issue with Rank Tracking is that Google is ALWAYS changing their search results. At least two or three changes to their search result pages and their page layouts happen every single week. A few years ago Google changed about once every 2-3 weeks. Now it's at least twice a week.
So that's a big time suck to debug and fix. The second big issue is an issue I alluded to in another reply, which is that when you surpass about 20 keywords, and are checking phrase match and a deep depth of pages, then you'll quickly hit the issue of coming up against Google service disruptions. Solving those two issues is the “secret sauce” for tracking ranks.
The problem is not in writing software that will work once (that's easy). It is building a solution that will keep working with daily changes, and making sure that it scales (for even modest numbers of keywords).
Having to continually keep up with the frequent changes which break your code gets old pretty quickly, and that's what you get when you subscribe to Rank Tracking services such as Authority Labs or SEOMoz Pro, etc. You pay them to deal with that problem. We've become pretty good at solving the problem, and even then we've hit a technical brick wall that is simply insurmountable. When you price in the value of your time it can become a false economy. We have 6 full time developers and a development manager, and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year staying on top of constantly changing services (more than just Rank Tracker in our case, however) – it's our business, and even then it becomes wearisome.
But depending on your Rank Tracking needs you might find that writing and maintaining your own code works out better for you and your workflow.
Thanks again for sharing your comments, and I wish you better luck than we've had in solving this problem for the past four years.
Morten Rais said:
Sure its frustrating that MS is not fully operating, but I have had so much work done for me already that I would never ask for a refund. Regarding the subscription! I would say it comes down to the price. In active periods I would be prepared to pay say 30 usd a month for some good and fast data. But I hope that there will at all times be a free low volume ranktracker in MS. A ranktracker that emulate a person. I have several other seo software packages they all have their advantages and disadvantages, but MS is always on of my favorites for a quick spin.
I saw a ms user talking about he's 2000 keywords that he had to maintain. In he's situation I would go for a hosted solution if he is living in a I Country.
Keep up the good work.
Kiril Reznik said:
Hey Eugene,
Thanks for the update regarding the services status but its hardly convincing.
As your avid supporter from 2010, the sole reason I moved to MS is Rank Tracker, which at the time, used the local connection and was a very fast & convenient way of checking the SERP for your keywords. Time passed by and you've introduced the cloud services, and I got to say, the experience was degraded tenfold. It might be due to the fact I'm not located in the US, but the connection speed was, and in my opinion still, poor.
Now to my point: while the service is “bundled”, that level of performance is acceptable but if it becomes a paid add-on you'd have to work really hard to make sure that your cloud services are performing top-notch in all countries across the world.
While I can understand that a cloud platform is easier to maintain, but lets be honest, all the “big” SEOers can use proxies to avoid being “disabled” by Google, and all the “small” SEOers doesn't perform as much queries to get “disabled”. So the only benefit of using cloud services is shorter development time in your end and more money for the paid data services.
The move to Majestic Backlinks was logical, but paying for the Rank Tracker, sorry but it doesn't cut it…
On January 29th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
Eugene Ware replied:
Hi Kiril,
Thanks for your thoughts and comments.
If you're checking a small number of keywords intermittently using your own connection is fine. But when you check more than about 20 keywords to a depth of 1000 results, for broad and phrase match and with index checks you quickly run into Google service difficulties.
We know this because we regular monitor Google service difficulties in our server infrastructure. Any sustained querying that's faster than about 1 query every 30 seconds in a 10 minute period causes issues. For even 20 keywords, even as a “small” SEO person you will hit problems. Most other tools that check rankings either give you a facility to enter in your own proxy servers, or will simply wait 30-60 seconds for each query – which means that it can take a LONG time to bring back results.
Cloud development does improve development time in making it a little faster to adapt to changes with services, but there is a very real, ongoing cost too (we spend five figures a month on our cloud infrastructure). So it doesn't really amount to a cost saving. The big benefit of the cloud for us in the long-term is actually the ability to get away from Adobe AIR. Adobe AIR is plagued with speed, performance and reliability issues, and fixing the desktop version of AIR is a low priority for them. We host our cloud servers with both Rackspace and SoftLayer to provide redundancy and high bandwidth. These are both regarded to be two of the best hosting and data center companies available.
I'm sorry that you feel that the performance of Rank Tracker has degraded for you. The good news is that the new version will do all the checking in the background on a weekly basis, so you should never have to be waiting around, and your physical proximity to our data centers should no longer be an ongoing factor. Eventually we'll even send out email reports of your rankings results as well, so you won't even have to open the app at all.
I'm sincerely sorry again that you feel let down. I hope that the next few generations of Rank Tracker will see the issues you've raised addressed. If you're still having problems from Israel please let us know.
We don't have many users from that region of the world, so it's hard for us to test connectivity to your nation.
Thanks again or your feedback.

Hi Roy,
Salamat para sa iyong support. Ang produkto ay pinagdudusahan sa nakalipas na buwan. Sa partikular, ang mga pangunahing pagbabago sa mga keyword tool ng Google henerasyon na talagang pinabagal down na ang app sa pamamagitan ng isang order ng magnitude. Sinubukan naming tungkol sa 5 iba't ibang mga paraan upang mapabuti ang bilis at pagiging maaasahan na walang mapakinabangan.
Bilang bahagi ng pag-ikot ng mga pagbabagong ginagawa namin paglalagay sa lugar ng ilang mga alternatibong pagpipilian para sa pagkuha ng data ng keyword na iyon ay magiging mas mabilis at mas maaasahan.
Ang paglalagay ng data papunta sa cloud ay naging isang bagay na nangyaring sa mga card para sa isang mahabang panahon. Ang isang pulutong ng mga trabaho sa Market samuray sa nakaraang taon ay naging likod ng mga eksena upang ilipat ang higit pa at higit pa sa mga logic at data papunta sa cloud. Kami ay nagkaroon ng maraming mga kahilingan para sa isang bersyon ng web, at mga mobile na bersyon, at paglipat sa cloud na gumagawa ng isang buong maraming mas madali at mas maaasahan.
Salamat sa iyong mga komento uri!
David Ferrers sinabi:
Gusto ko lang i-nating mahanap ako Market samuray isang talagang kapaki-pakinabang na tool. Article Samurai (AS) adds a whole new dimension to SEO for me as it plays to my strengths. I purchased AS because I trust the Market Samurai brand. The open and honest response to this situation reinforces that trust. Using AS I saw a new keyword move up from nowhere on Google to the first page in just 46 days. Other target keywords are also moving strongly in the right direction.
My advice to anyone with Market Samurai is, “stick with these guys. They know what they're doing. Their advice is excellent. They are honest and straight and their support is first class. They are always likely to provide an outstanding service.”

Hi Eugene,
I'm not a wholesale SEO user of MarSam, but I do use it a lot, and I massively value its output.
I also understand that this excellent software is an aggregator and therefore dependent on multiple third parties, who may – like Google – pull the rug at short/no notice.
The price of Market Samurai is unsurpassed in terms of value, and occasional upheaval is a very, very small price to pay back for the ongoing insights the software delivers.
The fact is that if the whiners could get a better value service elsewhere, they would. That's simple economics.
I wish you well with the fixes and, when the dust settles, the most important thing may well be to review the contingency options available should more plugs be pulled in the future.
All the best to you and the team, mate!

Unfortunately the rank tracker module is the one I use the most and it is the one that impresses clients the most when they see their SERPS improve.

If you could hang on for a few weeks until we have a first cut of the updated Rank Tracker service to play with before making your decision that would be great. Feel free to ask us for a refund at any time if it doesn't meet with your expectations.
We also have plans for SEO consultants who want to produce reports for their clients too. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to do printing from within Adobe AIR. But we think we've figured out a way. Probably a few months off, but it is in the works.
Salamat muli.

I am a small start up business and as such I am having to keep my business expenses extremely low in order to survive. I only purchase Market Samurai two months ago and the main reason I purchased Market Samurai was no ongoing cost and the business reputation.
I totally understand its not Market Samurai fault in a sense but one question I would like to ask. Why were Market Samurai not aware of the changes google was making whilst other vendors already made a seamless change?
Also with these new changes ii am concerned about data accuracy? What assurance scan Market Samurai give over this?

I'm glad i made the jump from MS to Raven tools just over 6 months ago. I did that because i have paying clients so i need the speed and functionality that Raven could give me over MS. having said that if i was a one man operation with just 2 or 3 of my own sites i thing i would return to no tool. I found before i jumped ship that MS was becoming more of a burden than a help due to broken parts, rankings not matching manual checks, (yes depersonalised and de-localised) . The only useful part that was left for me was the simple SEOC & SEOT data which is an excellent feature.
Eugene I wish you the very best of luck in keeping MS as cheap as possible as I believe it was an excellent tool (just not for how i scaled my business) and I love your attitude to pricing and service.
Jacobus said:
Hi Eugene,
Welcome to Planet Google. It must frustrate the living daylights out of you. Believe it or not, we stopped tracking our rankings because we had over 10.000 keywords we were ranking for for one of our websites and mainly used Webmasters (although Webmasters is really user unfriendly I must say if you have a lot of keywords you rank for). But what you guys are experiencing now is something we have experienced before as well. Google is as stable as a company (in its decisions) as a drunken old fart on ice skates. However, its like a beautiful woman with a lot of flaws: can't live with her, can't live without her.
In our company we stopped using the word SEO… we now call it Google manipulation and frankly, I can't blame them for changing the game a little. While you guys build a very ethical product that worked great, there are people out there that ruin the game for everyone else.
You are in a tough spot. In a business you want stability and I am afraid Google nor Bing or the others will ever deliver that to you.
And as a last word: based on statistics we run in our company, the searches in Google and Bing vary mainly in numbers, not so much in keywords (which makes sense), so I wouldn't worry about that.
Good luck to you and your team. I guess you need it.

Ive read all the comments so far and it seems that most people get that it is a bump in the road. Just like others, I am impressed with the way MS is handling this. It is textbook on public relations and a very wise move. As for refunds, unless you just bought the product, I don't think you should ask for one. As for monthly costs, I think it should be tiered based on volume of keywords checked as an add on service to the main tool. I don't use it for too many keywords yet and don't think I would be willing to pay more than 5-7 dollars for my usage. But as my usage increases, I would be willing to pay more. I liked the comment about everyone chipping in to help MS have continued success as opposed to everyone opting out and losing this awesome tool. I'm rooting for you all at MS! Keep it up

Having been active on the net since the days of truly floppy discs, JANET, Amstrad and dial-up (!), I am frankly amazed that so much information is still free on the web. However, QUALITY information is another matter, and if I'm selling SEO services to clients, I want to make sure the info is the best available. So, although I am probably technically a 'home' user, if you need to charge, do so in the confidence that business professionals will be happy to pay if the tool delivers. And I would not dream of asking for a refund on something I have been using for years and which no longer works quite as it did when I first acquired it – the same applies to my microwave, my car and my partner!

Hi Eugene
Sorry to hear about all your troubles with the google changes.
You and your team have always striven to keep market samurai updated no matter what has been thrown at you, thats commendable in this day and age for a product that has had a one time fee.
Sometimes outside market forces can cause you to look internaly at your costs and make you decide that the way you move forward with your business has to change. Thats life.
I can tell by the way you are answering the forum posts that it is a concern for you and your team if you have to introduce some form of additional charge to your customers in order for you to stay in business and keep up with future updates that market samurai will no doubt require.
I have owned market samurai for about two years. I am not a power user of it. I have had good use of the tool so far and would never think of asking you for a refund.
Market samurai and its team deserves to live, and be supported into the future. The same cannot be said about a lot of other companies in this industry.
Thanks again Eugene for caring about your customers.
Hope you and your team come up with the solutions that are benificial to us all moving forward.

Why not have rank updates query Google locally, in the background, at random speeds so it looks natural, as a service on the Pc. It won't take much bandwidth as it is going slowly and you ranks will update through the day. As soon as you go into Ms, ranks will be up to date. Does anyone really need New rank data more than once a week?

Anonymous said:
If you do need to add a cost, your earlier suggestion to have a “proportional system where heavy users pay more” would be preferred and fair, being that is what affects how you will be paying for the data anyway?
ie I use MS weekly to check rankings for 3 websites on 10 keywords each. Then on a monthly basis for 6 websites, again 10 keywords each.
So if I spread the checks over a few days so that only 10 keyword checks per day maximum, will I be in the 'free' bracket?
If not, doing the calculation based on your earlier figures of 400,000 users of MS and cost of $40,000 per day to buy this data, that would mean charging 10 cents per user per day to cover costs – assuming you guys can't negotiate a better deal with raven

I can't see how anyone who has used this tool for awhile cant say they got their money's worth.
I believe Market Samurai will compete with the BEST of the paid services. From what I hear, SEOmozand SEObook are the bestpaid tools. They can be pricey. I hope MS can come up with a better price but a better product for the price.
I believe in you guys and your company. I can't wait to see how you turn this around. Unitl then, I;ll use Raven. Go for it. You are the best.

Eddie said:
I was greatly disappointed to read the update, having had a problem with MS yesterday. That said you guys have my sympathy. Your offer of a refund, after people have been using the service for some time, is an admirable one, and should demonstrate to everyone that you are playing this straight, and run the risk of having to pay out thousands. The cost to you guys will be far greater than the cost to any one of us.
I don't use the service that much – basically for just one website, using rank tracker on my keywords. A little bit of playing around with some other ideas, but not a lot and would not be missed, but rank tracker will be.
I didn't expect to use it a great deal from the outset, but I did feel it would be invaluable to me to be able to monitor the success or otherwise of keywords for my site. With some occasional playing around with ideas, the one off cost justified it.
I don't know what I'll be doing in the future. If the ongoing cost of tracking 100 or so key words becomes too great, sadly I will have to leave.
I hope you guys can organise something with Raven (or an alternative) to make it affordable. A scaled fee, based on estimated usage would be fair to everyone.

My opinion is 2 folds, first bad news and second I am glad the Market Samurai team is trying to give us the best values(haven't they been doing that all along?).
I presume that the big players are trying to monetize what they have been offering free. I am not a market expert but I think first they give you something free, you use it for many years, get used to it and them they ask you to pay. I mean the search engines not MS.
I have no reason to switch to any other tool. I will wait for whatever MS has come up with.

I have to say I'm having withdrawals since not being able to do keyword updates… Probably good for me to detox a little.
Having said that, why not build in a random delay feature so that I can set MS to do my ranking updates directly with no proxy and go to sleep and have MS do all the google queries with say a 30 sec-5 minute random timer between them overnight?
It seems like a perfectly elegant solution unless I'm missing something.

Thanks for the update Eugene.
I'm sure this incredibly frustrating for people who've bought MS recently – but I hope they give you some breathing space to get things sorted out – those of us who've had the product for years know how hard you all work to keep everything working.
With Google choosing to make referrer keyword data increasingly unavailable, and now this, it seems like Google has decided to make life as hard as possible for SEOs. While they have 92% market share (here in the UK), there's not a lot we can do – but they're certainly not making many friends right now.
As you said, for many queries, Bing's results are as good, if not better…
I'm really impressed with the professional way you're handling this crisis Eugene – hang on in there, and I'm certain you'll still have a large and loyal customer base on the other side.

Thanks very much for outlining this. To me MS is incomparable and I am using it daily with great passion. But, I have a feeling that bigger picture has been missed. As changes are constant and imminent, I think that MS failed to be one step ahead of competition (in this case) and truly look into the future.
My rant or not, I am very disappointed by simple lack of vision….What do I do now? Pay for yet another service to check my kw's. I don't have money to do that and I want to stay with MS….
Cheers

When will people realise Market Samurai is simply the best aggregator and compiler of free data which is fed to its users software.
Now the party is over and the providers of the data TO MS have decided either…
1. they're no longer providing the data OR
2. they're charging for the data.
Now Market Samurai, has to pass those costs on to the consumer. Unfortunately some people do NOT have an “ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE”… and their life is a bitch.
Market Samurai & Article Samurai has been one of the best investments I've made online. I have no hesitation in purchasing or recommending their products to others.
I wish the Team at Noble Samurai all the best in overcoming this “speed bump” and you have my continued support.
Cheers

I'm a fairly light user of MS, but I can say it has been one of the best deals I've gotten for the money spent. I also understand the situation you're in.
One idea I'd like to plant in your heads:
Light users like me might be resistant to expensive monthly fees. Is there a way you can price it to differentiate between those who scan keywords occasionally and heavy users?
Alex said:
Keep tracking of your kw ranking has always been a big problem…
I don't like to pay for reoccuring costs… I'll keep using MS for KW research, domain selection and such… if Traffic Travis will have the same problem tracking ranks… then I give up…

Hi Eugene,
Thank you for being forthright and honest about the whole situation.
My hands have been burnt with hyped up SEO software that tricks users into buying systems promising lifetime updates and then freezing up 6 months later to ask for regular payments.
Then, there is software that is cheap to buy and after buying it one finds out that you need to buy proxies or face getting your IP blocked for too many searches.
The reason why SEO software can't be one time payment is because search engine algorithms change ALL the time and it costs and enormous amount of development time and expertise to keep up with the changes.
I was truly surprised (and happy) to have Market Samurai needing no regular payments and no proxies since you were performing searches form your own servers. Thank you for making it happen so far.
At a atime when many SEO software companies are simply misleading users into buying their software by incomplete information, it is good to see how you have explained it all and then go the extra miule to offer the refunds. I have bookmarked yoru post under 'Good way to do business'.
I would be interested in an option where I could use your servers for my SEO tracking at a fee (since proxies are not allowed in my country).
Looking forward to a quick and cost-effective resolution soon – do what's best for your users. We are counting on you!
Anderson Dias said:
Hi Eugene, you have to have knowledge that the sales of sustainable products will fall a lot, so I suggest you invest in putting more tools in the program so you can compensate for this loss, with absolute Necromancer bad news is that the point of no wanting more you use the program, we see how the program will return when you finish the modifications, oh yes we will be the amount paid menssalmente worth it or not!
Hopefully everything.

Thank you Eugene for the update. Change is inevitable, saying that. I have always been impressed with Noble Samurai products because of their functionality, the high level of Support given and mostly your training on how to use the services. If aspects of Noble Samurai products go to a monthly fee I will pay it because of what I will get in return. I personally have received outstanding service for free so paying for the same or better is just smart to me.
Noble Samurai has always been very high on my “Trusted” List and will continue to stay their.
repprotect said:
Evolution is evolution. I think anyone involved in search marketing for more than 5 minutes can understand – even anticipate – that change is inevitable. The test of a service provider is not what they did, but what they do. I think MS is a great product because it is patently obvious that there is a lot of care and responsibility toward its users.
Darren Revell said:
Hi Eugene,
Sorry to see some people gave you a hard time, they surly have not the brains they were born with if they think that Google will stand still and let services like yours operate free.
Good luck with the work on the rank checker and paid or no I love my MS tools.
Scott Dennison said:
Eugene,
I'm a big fan and supporter of your tools and think the value is extreme for what I paid originally for it.
I also understand that Google is trying to end the manipulation of their search results through SEO and as you (and others like you) provide the tools to do that, they're going to continue trying to strangle your data feeds.
Frankly I'm surprised, with their endless hunger for cash that they don't simply offer a paid api and accept that companies who utilize seo are not trying to manipulate search results for greedy purposes, they simply want to get customers.
Google's fingerprints are all over the knife that killed old media and in their desire to sell ppc to every business on earth, they seem bent on killing organic search for everyone.
All that aside, I'd never consider asking you for a refund and would suggest that your new tools offer a 'pro' version, perhaps in the $49/mo range that also provides pretty monthly reports (white labeled) that I can send to seo clients. I've long felt that the export function of MS left much to be desired. If your slick reporting could also pull in screens from Google analytics too, I'd be delighted to pay.
For those that won't or don't want to pay – a desktop version that runs on their own connection is ideal. For businesses its simply a cost that is passed along to clients.
Keep going – I appreciate your efforts!

It is difficult situation for all involved, us customers and MS developers. But the program was promoted and sold out as one life-time payment. I am pretty sure that if there was monthly payment from the start there would not be 400.000 active users of the program. One life-payment was you competitive advantage addressed to other programs.
jim said:
I am a long time Market Samurai and a recent Article Samurai user. I have been reading through the comments on this blogpost and i am amazed to see that Eugene is replying to almost every post. And he is doing that on the same day (today).I do understand that there are people who are concerned about non availability of certain modules, but i have never understood why they would charge only one time fee to all of us to use a product like MS. And then they keep updating it without asking for money. I think they are are treating us in the same way they would like to be treated them self. They are even offering full refunds after years of use. Almost none of the users of MS would offer that to their own customers.
So to the people who are complaining, give them the time to sort things out and come up with a solution.
Most of us sell services using MS and we charge monthly fees for SEO and other related stuff, and we insist that our customers pay us every month but some of us are not willing to pay monthly for a product we use almost daily to charge our customers and earn regular monthly income.
Thanks Eugene for taking the time and inform us all.
Jai Catalano said:
As much as I hate the idea of having to pay for anything I totally understand that the world will not work in a free form. Hence I knew that one day we would see a paid service from MS. I just hope that you take care of those (grandfather us in) on a lesser cost than those that are joining now.
Dianne said:
Eugene-
MS is a great service. We've received incredible value for just a one time fee of $97. The changes are clealy beyond your control and it just makes good business sense to change your business model or go bankrupt. Sure, I love the current model- who wouldn't? But, I'd hate to lose MS and if you need to change the pricing structure so be it. You have the best product of it's kind on the market and if used correctly by the end user, any additional costs that we incur will be recouped on the front end.
Thanks for all that you do to be transparent and for working diligently to come up with a solution to these issues.
Gary said:
Sorry to hear this news, and I think your up front approach is laudible.
Sadly this is not an unexpected outcome and only goes to fan the flames of distrust towards monopolistic corporates…
Hope you can keep up the good work and thank you for an excellent tool over the last 4 years.
Duru@Internet Marketing Coach said:
Hi Eugene,
This is a sad day for Market Samurai. Perhaps there is some hidden philosophy here as well (A Samurai can only battle for so long).. I have been using your software almost every day since I bought it, it has paid for itself in multiples….
Hopefully the rest of the software will continue to work. Shame you didn't charge a symbolic $5 a month from all your users – might make a dent in things…
Wishing you the best in your future developments!
DK said:
This post is a good example of a company that's very upfront and openly honest with it's customers.
I'm sure there are other keyword software providers who have chosen to be quite about how these Google changes have impacted their software.
Well…no worries from me, man. I'm just going to sit back and watch how this whole thing plays out.
autobloggerpro@autobloggin said:
I appreciate the honesty and transparency of Eugene's disclosure. With so many scam software products being released, Noble Samurai has maintained its integrity through this difficult transition. Why abandon ship? Where else are you going to go? “The only constant in life is change!” If you are a serious marketer, SEO tools are a part of the overall cost of doing business successfully.
Ryan said:
It would be ideal if you made the rank tracker module an add on. That way customers could have the option to not have to pay the monthly fee if they don't want the module. Please give this serious consideration.
Shane said:
All we can say is Google happens.. I'm sorry to hear about the changes that could be coming. Don't really want to pay for this each month but I think I'd rather pay to use it than lose it. That is assuming I can afford the monthly.
You guys have always looked out for your customers and I know I appreciate it like many others here do.
And as others have mentioned, I too have had this software for years now, so there's no doubt in my mind that I got my monies worth. Good Luck Euguene to you and your crew. This is going to be a bumpy ride…
Richard said:
I was one of the first buyers for Market Samurai after its launch and I have always been impressed with the service. This new wrinkle is annoying of course but I am sure your team will come up with a viable solution, hopefully not at added cost to the users.
Thank you for the detailed update. It is a good reminder of Market Samurai's concern for the users and their desire to keep us in the loop.
Chris Kluis said:
I've used all the products. I loves MS for 4 reasons:
1. Fixes price (rediculously cheap)
2. Unlimited keywords
3. Run daily
4. Rankings out to 1,000 instead of 100
Now I work at a company that also uses HubSpot so I have rankings to 100 updated weekly on 1000 keywords there.
I clicked refresh on the 1-1000 results every morning to check the long tail efforts and see what I needed the oDesk staff to write about. Having the knowledge that I jumped from.1,000+ to 189 in 2 days was the MOST valuable thing for me because I couldn't see that anywhere else. I could double down on the word and then push it to HubSpot.
Will your source allow 100-1000 deep results?
On February 1st, 2012 at 11:24 am
Miriam Parkinson replied:
Hi Chris, unfortunately this is unlikely as none of the services that we have been investigating provide results deeper than 100.
Greg said:
Just charge us all $5 a month for MS. $5, wow, it's like one coffee.
Alexander Kohl@Bookkeeping said:
Thanks for your great communication and amazing work you are doing with Market Samurai.
I have been so amazed that you could afford to keep it updated and serviced for so long with a once-off fee only. I hope that this change to charging monthly will put you on an even better footing financially, so you can provide more of your awesome service.
Maraming salamat

BenJohnston said:
Hi,
Gotta love Google pulling the rug out from under us. Personally, I won't be going anywhere as I find MS invaluable for keyword research, both on my personal sites and clients.
However, I never use the Rank Tracker module – I have a subscription to Authority Labs for that. As such, I think I'd have a bit of an issue paying a monthly fee for something I'd never use. Would there be the option to continue using the tool without the Rank Tracker module?
Salamat,
Ben

I'd like to know the source on your data for Bing accounting for 30% of USA traffic.
You guys and many other included have always advocated the use of Google's importance for SEO ranking (fair to say your business model was based on this) – and my experience of Bing is that the results are often frustratingly rubbish and a waste of time. I try using it but always end up going back to Google – which I'm sure is accountable for many such uses of Bing.
Would be nice to see the source for your statement.
Nancy Smeltzer said:
Thanks for the very honest blog re: what's happening for Market Samuarai and the hows and whys. While if it's going to turn out to be a monthly fee to use it, I probably won't be able to do so, but I understand what's going on and why…
Your videos are very compelling and that's what got me to buy Market Samuari in the first place. Now, I want Article Samurai…:)
Ernie Hodge said:
I have had Market Samurai since right after it came out on the market and will not be asking for a refund. I'm not a power user and I understand that sometimes things change and some people get upset.
We all know everyone wants to keep their costs down and make bigger profits. That's a given and it's never going to change.
I look at Google as NOT being the end all grand provider of information.
Google makes it's changes (my opinion) for a couple of reasons. One is because they have to try and keep the Black Hat operators and Spammers from gaming the system.
The second is to help them make the lions share of revenue being generated on Google in Google's pocket. If you do any Adwords campaigns you should be able to see this with the click fraud going on. I've seen this from a personal perspective and I don't do Adwords anymore.
I don't understand why the majority of marketer's feel like Google is the only source of traffic on the Internet.
I liked MS from the first time I opened it up and will continue to use the program along with a couple of other programs that fit into my business.
I think it's great that we always get communication from MS when there's an issue like this and they don't try and hide these 'bumps in the road'.
I'll be watching to see where we go from here.
Thanks for the update Eugene and keep up the great work.

Ikaw guys magbigay ng isang kahanga-hangang serbisyo na may mahusay na suporta. Easily the best tool on the market for doing research with. As with most things in this world nothing is static. You have always done a good job finding ways to work around the issues presented to you and I am confident that you will find an equitable solution to this problem too. If it means that you have to charge for some parts that were free in the past in order to maintain other parts of a really good tool, that is the way it has to be. Keep plugging, change comes hard to some people, eventually they will adapt. Thanks for your hard work right now.
Onder Hassan said:
Thanks for the heads up Eugene. You guys seriously are working hard in order to provide us with the best value. With regards to switching to a paid service for Rank Tracker. If it means giving the company even more flexibility to providing even better value for their customers, then I'm all for it.
In fact, I personally wouldn't mind if you guys introduced packages to check beyond a 1000 back links in the pr analysis module since MS only allows to see 1000 bl's max using the service.
Just an idea
Keep up with the great work guys.
Jae Burnham said:
Thank you for this informative article. I know that Google is doing everything it can to implode itself. THese changes are not your fault, and I, for one, appreciate your efforts and the affordable prices that you provided. Sure there are things I'd like to see improved, like videos showing us how to use the particular tools correctly etc. But I understand your frustrations as well. Just do everything that you can to keep us all informed. Salamat sa inyo.
Len said:
This is technical, and I'll be honest I tried writing a competitor to your product but gave up because I knew the support would be a nightmare. I don't think some of you realize how difficult a product like this is to maintain. My product did almost every thing MS did, and much faster too written in .net but in a few weeks was completely useless! Especially the free backlinks! I contacted Majestic and almost fell off my chair when they told me what it would cost to get their information. I would have to invest probably 5 figures to just get my product out the door. I can't believe MS isn't charging users for this.
So after all that testing I had a product that was an exercise in programming and could never make it to market. I would definitely need to hire others if it were to become viable and not be barraged with refund requests.
Imagine building a house and then finding out you have to tear it down every few months because the wiring, plumbing and cabinets become incompatible with the new “thing.” That is what this software is like.
Hindi ko pa nilalaro gamit ito sa buwan, ngunit ka sinasamantala ng pagiging magagawang tingnan 100 mga website nang sabay-sabay sa google? Sa halip na ang 10 sa pamamagitan ng default? Kung sagabal ang kagustuhan cookie na ito ay posible. Hindi ko na subaybayan ang maraming mga keyword ngunit pag-andar na mukhang ok.

Nagagalak akong marinig na ikaw ay gumagamit Bing. Kung bawat iba pang mga vendor ang ipinapakita ng parehong bagay, siguro (hopefully!) Google ay mawawala ang isang kahit na mas malaking porsyento ng mga query sa paghahanap. Ito ay oras na Google Nakakuha b * tch slapped, sa halip na sa amin ang lahat ng mga nagsisimula Google slapped.
Bob Helms sinabi:
Ko lang basahin ang update sa itaas, at para sa nakalipas na ilang araw ko na sinusubukan mong gamitin Market samuray para sa ilang simpleng mga paghahanap sa keyword, ngunit hindi ko alam na ang anuman sa mga problema ay isang resulta ng isa pang Google "enhancement".
Ako'y sobrang bago ito sa buong sitwasyong IM (lamang ako ng paggawa nito para sa tungkol sa anim na buwan), at sa panahon na iyon ako ay pag-aaral ng isang bagay bagong araw-araw. Ngunit maaari ko matapat sabihin na ang isa sa mga pinakamahusay na mga tool ko na dumating sa kabuuan sa ngayon ay Market samuray. Ang mga tool na nagbibigay sa iyo naging napakahalaga sa aking mga paghahanap para sa mga keyword na maaaring mabuhay. At ito ay upang sabihin wala para sa maraming gamit sa maraming mga tool na magbigay sa iyo, na, dapat ko magsabing muli, na ako ay pag-aaral ng isang bagay bagong araw-araw. Naniniwala ako sa iyo guys, ngunit sa parehong panahon nararamdaman ko ng paumanhin para sa iyo, tulad ng nararamdaman ko ng paumanhin para sa lahat ng tao sa internet sa puntong ito. Ang punto, sa palagay ko, ay na maaari mong mahanap ang isang remedyo para sa problemang ito, lamang na magkaroon ng Google ang isa pang pagpapabuti sa malapit na hinaharap, kaya ibinabato ng isa pang wrench sa mga gawa.
Aking mga punong alalahanin dito bilang isang bagong dating ay na ito tila sa akin na ang Google ay sinusubukan isang pangunahing paglipat patungo sa imperyo sa internet. Sila na kontrolin ang 60-70% ng mga ito bilang ito ay. Maaari ko bang kahit na maunawaan ang mga ito gamit ang malupit na taktika upang linisin ang internet. Impiyerno, kapag ang isang bagong sherrif ay dumating upang linisin ang isang bayan, kinailangan nilang pumutok ng ilang mga ulo upang makuha ang kanilang mga punto sa kabuuan. Alam ng Diyos, internet ang kinakailangan ng ilang cleaning up. Maaari ko matandaan ang mga araw kapag ang isang simpleng paghahanap ay lumagpak sa aking computer dahil sa ang lahat ng mga popup na magaganap. Maaari ko bang kahit na sumusuporta sa mga ito sa pagtugis ng malinis na up. Ngunit kung ano ang mabuti ay ito kapag sherrif ang nagiging mas masahol pa kaysa sa mga kriminal?
Aking unang site ay pinagbawalan sa loob ng isang linggo, nang walang paliwanag o isang pagkakataon para sa pagdulog, bukod sa hindi nito natugunan ang kanilang pag-apruba. Sa oras, ako lamang inilipat sa at itakda lamang ang aking sarili upang mapabuti ang mga bagay sa aking site mamaya. Ngunit ngayon, lang ako nag-aalala na ang lahat ng aking mga site ay eliminated sa parehong paraan at para sa parehong mga kadahilanan, na kung saan ay talaga walang mabuting dahilan.
Ang mga bagay na dapat namin ang lahat ng alalahanin ang ay kung saan ang ibig magtapos. Ako wala, at magiging wala na sa mas kaunting oras kaysa ito ay tumatagal ng mga ito sa pindutin ng isang pindutan. Ngunit sa tingin, hindi ito hihinto sa doon! Lahat ng tao, lalo na ang mataas na rollers out doon, ay kalaunan ay bukas sa parehong kapalaran kung sila ay hindi maingat. Sa pamamagitan ng pagkatapos, maaaring walang iba pang mga pagpipilian bukas (tulad ng Bing / Yahoo), dahil pagkatapos ay sa pamamagitan ng mga pagpipilian na ito ay maaaring nai-durog o hinihigop.
Like I said earlier, I can agree with what Google is doing, but only to a point. Much of what you are using in your tools is software which makes the workload so much easier. I use other tools as well, such as article writers and spinners. In keeping with Googles “unique” outlook, I never use these tools without proof-reading before sending it out to the internet. It just seems that Google is trying to stomp out any tools other than what they allow, and that can not lead to anywhere good. Time for some serious considerations, I think. I may be new, but out of the mouths of babes…..!
I just want to conclude by saying that you have a great platform here on Market Samurai, and I plan on sticking with you as long as I can. Panatilihing up ang magandang trabaho.
Tobi said:
As many of the comments above have stated, thanks for keeping us, the users, informed.
Regardless of the outcome of these developments, I for one will not be requesting a refund because MS has served me so well over the years and I've got much more than my money's worth.
From your note and various responses above it seems that one of the options is to make Rank Tracker a premium module. I would just like to suggest that if this option were to be implemented, could it be implemented in such a way that a premium only needs to be paid by users that intend to use the Rank Tracker via the cloud. That is, users can always use Rank Tracker for free if it does not perform its searches via the cloud but via the user's own ip address.
Bill said:
I just wanted to say “Thanks” for the GREAT job you guys have been doing over the last several years. I started with you guys several years ago when I was taking the 30 day challenge. I was and still am shocked that you did not charge a monthly fee in the past. As marketers, we all have additional costs incurred with technology changes. No one likes to have to pay more for services as we realize that the profit margins shrink due to this. But the reality is, when this happens we all have to find a way to increase our revenue either by charging our customers more (just like any other business) or suck it up and deal with it. To read the negative comments from these Ungrateful marketers just blows my mind. But I guess that is to be expected when someone gets something for FREE and then needs to pay for a service. I mean really, the original cost of your product over 3 years time is what $5.00 a month. What does the average person leave for a tip on a night out? Lets stand behind these guys and give them credit where credit is due. They are doing an awesome job and should be appreciated for their continued efforts to make this a FREE service. I am sorry if I stepped on some toes, but I believe that credit should be given when credit it due. Great job guys, I support you 100% And I will continue to use your services not only because of their reliability and usefulness, but because of your complete transparency regarding these current issues. Best of luck and keep up the AWESOME job. Kuwenta
David T said:
Eugene, I think that most MS customers are internet change/implication savvy and while Google's latest (and understandable) modifications will impact everyone, it's a force of business nature we must all deal with. Your candour and sense of fair play; for example offering Dave a full refund and continued access to the system has gone a long way to assuage any concerns that many may have about possible hidden agendas. I am still developing my business model and have yet to use MS even though I purchased this a few months back. Just to let you know that I understand the issues and will continue as an MS client, Good luck. DT
Swabbie said:
Okay, I have a question…I am totaly brand new to any Internet Marketing and just started using MS 1 week ago and I think was finaly just starting to figure out the core functions with Keyword Research when it to went $@%# the other day. I was just getting ready to get some keywords when the SEO Comp. went haywire. So do I put everything on hold until this gets resolved? Or is there some other tools that I could use in the meantime? As a total Noob here, I am majorly confused as what to do next! In my mind, MS was the most incredible tool I have ever seen with what all that it could do. Any guidance? Thank you to Market Samurai for what I perceive as a great product, but I have to figure out my next move. And thank you to the many expeienced IM'ers out there who willingly explain mundaine things to us noobs.
Research on!!

Hi, there are only a handful of tools in Market Samurai that aren't back up and running yet (PR checks and Google ranking checks) you should be able to continue building your campaign with Market Samurai as is. If you need any more guidance in getting started just send through a support ticket.
Steve S. said:
Hi guys.
Thanks for the update.
I can't say I'm happy with it, but sometimes things in the market change beyond your control.
That said, I think you should behave like a responsible company and take the hit rather than disabling features for customers who already paid for your software.
It was very easy for you to take our money, and while your services broke down every now and then and caused us users trouble, we didn't rush to charge you for the damage you caused us.
Thus is the nature of business, you build a product with a certain set of features and assumptions, made a profit on it, and now that your assumptions have changed, you're trying to pass the cost onto the users rather than adapt and fix the product that you already sold.
If other companies have google APIs, then it's possible to build one, why don't you make one too?
Sounds a bit lazy to me…
And one last thing, you should probably not have implied that Bing is just as good as Google… really…
Carson said:
Thanks for being open with the problem. I guess Article Samurai is the biggest worry because it is already on a paid subscription – quite an investment. For those using AS, maybe getting the service for free or at a discount until this problem is rectified would be a kind gesture. Especially since it isn't fully functional.
Steve S. said:
One more thing, will you be charging for the new service at cost or will you be making a profit on it?
On February 1st, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Miriam Parkinson replied:
Hi Steve, at least for current users we will be keeping this service at cost. New customers (after we implement the change) may be charged more – we don't know at this stage.
Warren Barnes said:
You folks have not only provided an outstanding tool that has helped people make significant sums of money over the years, but have also provided outstanding customer support as well.
Anytime there has been an issue with one of the components of Market Samurai, you've always let people know what was happening and what you were doing to solve the problem. Not only that, but you've always made sure to let people know they could request a refund – regardless of when you purchased it. If that doesn't speak volumes about what you folks are all about, I don't know what does.
I sure hope that anyone who purchased access to Market Samurai more than a month ago isn't tempted to put $97 back in their pocket by requesting a refund. If so, that speaks volumes about the type of person you are.
Keep up the good work Eugene and team – I can't thank you enough for all you've done over the years.

Thank you for clearing up things for us!
I couldn`t agree more!
When I got the message from Google, I had no idea of how it would affect us.
From reading your statement, and reading through all these comments, I am a bit less confused.
I do agree with the majority of the people who have given you guy's positive feedback.
Just to simplify: A copy and paste from Pete`s comment:

We've been championing MS for sometime before we became an affiliate. Like our CEO would tell his people, if you can't get a $97 dollar idea out of using MS, then you didn't try at all. People should continue to pay the $97 for a license, just to be “grandfathered” as a client into the next evolution of MS. It's a very low-risk investment, to bet the business intelligence from this team. In fact, I wish I could buy shares!!!
John said:
Although I've only been using MS for a couple of months, I've been impressed from the beginning with your straight-forward, transparent approach to communicating with your customers and sharing your considerable knowledge. Based on your explanations and your track-record, I have no doubt that you will deal with this crisis ably and then keep improving even as your playing field shakes and undulates. I even expect to come out slightly ahead because I have no doubt you guys will learn a fair bit from the scramble you're being forced through.
I'm still a big fan.
Louis said:
Hi Bret and the Noble Samurai Team.
It is a shame about google's changes as Market Samurai is still my preferred choice of SEO research software.
Will this affect the Wirdpress plugins that also do rankTracking? (not from Noble Samurai?) if all the websites are on the same IP?
Google seems to make it more difficult then for SEO companies to provide reporting (which is generally a requirement)
Hope you find an alternative to a monthly charge.

Since Social Shares are impacting the SEO landscape more and more, I suspect most of the Premier tools like MS and SEOmoz and MNF and others will fin new and unique and worthwhile ways to include Social Media in their analytics offerings.

SEOMOZ.ORG offers keyword tracking for 99 per month. Perhaps they will allow you to piggy back that service / data for less than SEORaven's fee of 40k per day.

I can't believe someone is upset because you didn't know that Google was going to make these changes? That is the dumbest thing I've ever read, (well besides the first post who “smells a lawsuit”).
The only people who know what Google is going to do in the future in the future is Google. To expect anyone to predict their movements, (let alone figure them out once they do them), is ridiculous.
I say up the price significantly per month so that you weed out all these cheap guys who have no idea how much ongoing maintenance goes on behind the scenes. Real business people know that things change and sometimes you have to accept that something that was free is not anymore. You either pay up or get lost. Too many people do not understand how real businesses work.
It will lessen my competition and I'm all for paying more.

A contract to provide a service for life is JUST that…. it would land me in great trouble if I told my clients “Oh sorry Google has become more restrictive, so now Mr. Customer, you must pay for something that I promised as included when you PAID in full. "
Are you catching the drift? If you get really loyal customers who are willing to pay for you to change your business model mid-stream – GREAT!!!! maybe they can pay for the folks who like me – would hold you to your promise and ORIGINAL business model…..
This will get ugly !!!
Chris said:
All I will say is that the problems incurred over the last week have been an inconvenience but fortunately I have other SEO sources,however MS has been my favourite program of choice so I hope that whatever method you choose to use I will still continue to use your program though if it becomes a monthly subscription it will not be to expensive
Michael Chadd said:
My question is how will this affect someone who wants to purchase Market Samurai now. Is the price still the same, is there going to be a delay in the ability to purchase Market Samurai. If someone buys today and things continue to change or certain functionality does not get worked out the I assume there is a refund available if a purchaser is not satisfied.
Thanks for your attention and reply.

I for one appreciate more than I can ever describe the genuineness that is displayed by this team.
You have my continued loyalty,

I remember Google's motto: “Don't be evil” Frankly I believe they have forgotten this. According to them MS and every other tool out there, from keyword research to submission software is blackhat. And I remember what it was like to do the research by hand. Yuck! I think perhaps it is time to give Big G a bit of a wake up call and start using Bing more. (can't believe I just said that!) When one search engine has so much power, as we've seen, it detrimentally affects all of us. I personally, do NOT want to live in a world where everything (from search to cars) is Google brand.
I'll be interested to see what the final outcome of the rank tracker is. I bought MS as a one off investment and if the price is reasonable, may yet use RT. But I LOVE the other modules including the Find, Publish and monetize modules. It really makes my life a whole lot easier and I want them to stay.
I think it might be time to add that other module I've heard about (don't know what it is, don't worry, but am curious), and with the recent upcoming fixes, hit this thing out of beta and into v. 1.0.
This is where it really pays to have a couple of back ups. I use MS for the majority of my research, but I also use Niche Finder, and SERP alert pro for tracking rank, as well as domain match pro.
The key is to be flexible. You are a business owner after all.
So, here's to the Noble Samurai boys (and girl – hi Miriam!). As we say in Ninjutsu: Ninpo Ikkan!, Keep Going, Keep Playing.
We're with you Eugene!
Graham said:
Sorry to hear about the problems Eugene. I for one would never ever ask for a refund as I have been using MS for over three years and consider it the best online tool I have ever bought.
Good luck with the updates and hopefully you can find a solution for Rank Tracker. Feedback I am getting from SEO's in Spanish is that people would be happy to pay for a higher level of service if it guaranteed being able to do their job and the price was reasonable. Individual users would love there to be a limited number of rank tracker queries/keywords available that could be done for free.
I think the way you are handling this is a brilliant example of how a business should deal with problems that come up. As for the first response suggesting a lawsuit what a laugh! As has been said get a life.
Joanne Scara said:
Sorry to hear about these changes, but clearly this was bound to happen. Just the fact that you have taken the time to personally answer each of these responses shows your dedication to your user base. In my two years using your service, you have always shown your continued support to do the best for your audience with constant updates and bug fixes. I personally feel that your small initial fee brought me tremendous value and I plan to stick with your service as long as it compares favorably to most other paid services. For all the benefits I've received over the past two years from my initial fee, I would be embarrassed to request a refund. I plan to hang in there as long as I can afford. May the force be with you . . .

BREAKING NEWS A REAL LIFE PARALLEL
A few years ago, about two, I found myself, on disability after I had fallen nearly 28 feet off of a roof.
I broke both of my legs, both of my arms,back, tailbone and ribs. I was in a hospital bed for nearly a year, five major surgeries, hundreds of thousands of dollars (US) later, I emerged, to a wheel chair, walker, cane and then walking without an artificial aid. I am still broken, in many ways, life long disabilities, 37% disabled, per American Medical Assoc. guidelines.
I am married, with three children. I was not sure how I was going to support my family, with the major loss of income.
of nearly 80%. I sought to find a way to do so online.
I found MS,after watching FREE videos on SEO, ETC, ETC, ETC. I spent hours learning from the FREE instructions offered, FREE education, before I scraped money together to purchase MS It's the idea of finding a workable, work around difficult situations, not of your own choosing, and or making.
Unfortunately, after loving this woman my wife, for nearly 28 years, and 26 years of marriage, the marriage thing has gone south, cold like the Antarctic. She is a beautiful woman, she's been a great wife. The accident not only hurt and damaged me for life, it hurt our relationship. She thought, thinks the grass is greener in a another pasture.
I find this parallel to be interesting, with the changes on the rise. Life is full of them. An old adage that is as true today as it was when it was first stated, and then penned: “You can get bitter because of what has happened, or can get better.”
The choice is yours, you decide. Find the joy, and positive notes and sing them, or ever live the life of the blues.
I choose the former and first as the place I choose to sing about. After a rocky years, I am back into the business, head above the clouds, though still dark, ominous and looming, for the children and continued marriage outlook, the sun is shining from my vantage point.
Thank you for your integrity,openness, from my view, as always the MS team is up front and out front delivering to us the good, the bad and the not so pretty facts on the ground. That is what a good and healthy marriage, relationship, and professional business relation should look like.
NO, sulking around in the shadows, obfuscating the truth, with lies, double talk, beating around the bushes through deception. Open and honest dialogue is not always the path of least resistance, but it a path where opportunities for a brighter tomorrow and future can have a firm foundation to work from.
Salamat muli.

I have been using market samurai for about 2 years and paid a few dollars for it. It the industry standard software and its been brilliant. As long as the communication is upfront and proactive I dont thing any user can complain as the search engines make changes to thier api's The software is updated and you make changes to accomodate. And you have been doing a great job.
Anonymous said:
When I bought into Market Samuri There were three modules. Many more were promised and although it took years they came and were not charged for. If you spent less than a hunred dollars then you have your value in the lessons provided not to mention that if you realize that each page of a website is in it self a website then using the tools other than rank checker will earn you money. If they charge a small fee for rank checker I won't use it because my websites arer informational and earn mostly googgle money. This doesn't mean I don't owe MS a debt because many of my pages are on the first page of google and some are # 1 from the help MS provided me.
John A. said:
I have mixed feelings about the monthly fee. MS is definitely worth it. However, the reliability of the product seems to be in question.
It goes without saying that the performance and reliability of MS has dropped off considerably in the past few months. I know it's not your fault that the game constantly changes as far as Google is concerned, but an unpredictable tool is certainly a liability for those of us that have been able to incorporate MS into our own business models.
My feelings are that if reliability is going to be a constant issue, you might want to make the product entirely worth the potential issues that will be encountered in the future.
Roy (comment 45) had a very good suggestion about incorporating article samurai into the monthly fee for the whole product. If done effectively, a comprehensive service at a moderately higher monthly subscription rate would reduce users and justify the subscription price.
I was an article samurai subscriber until a few days ago. It's not that article samurai wasn't a good product. Besides some of the shortcomings like limited spinning quotas, it was. But once the cracks in MS reliability started to become more pronounced, it made me wonder when article samurai would suffer the same fate. I know MS and AS are separate products, but what happens when the next new product comes along? Will article samurai suffer the same fate as MS?
That uneasy perception of unreliability is a serious issue that needs to be addressed as quickly as possible.
Erik Heyl said:
We know that Google holds most of the cards and that no matter what other tool used, it will always try to block things, because tools, to them are “evil.” That said, I'll happily pay for Rank Tracker, and will continue being a part of the Samurai faithful. You guys do a ton of work, and we all appreciate what you do. MS has been a major tool in my arsenal since I bought it in '09.
Keep going Samurai team! We're with you!

Hi Eugene,
Market Samurai helped me to start my consultancy business as being a one man band I could not afford the wordtracker monthly fee for example. So thanks for producing a great affordable tool to help get me started.
Good luck with your efforts to restore all the services. Just want to encourage you to make room for us smaller setups in your new pricing model. I do need to check more than 10 keywords but I certainly don't need to check 1000′s… not yet anyway

I am not looking forward to a monthly subscription price for anything, so I really appreciate the fact that you are going to price things based on usage, possibly free for some, as I'm a low volume user. Having said that, I think your software is absolutely fantastic and you guys are absolutely great. I'm happy to have found such a terrific tool (Market Samurai) at such a reasonable price. I understand the uncomfortable position that Google often puts many businesses and people in by making such changes, but they ARE Google, so I can only imagine how hard it is to build a whole business model around them. Panatilihing up ang mahusay na gawain! I'm still telling my friends about you guys.
Clive said:
Hi Eugene,
Sorry to hear you got yourself in a muddle with this one I have been a long admirer of your videos and software for some time, so here is some advice for what it's worth:
To convert to a fully paid service you have a job on your hands “Law suit is a bit rich” but now you know what you have to do you can't go on with the same offer, yes give money back to those that feel they have been conned … but to move on you need to do two things, first you need to acknowledge your existing customer base with a minimal monthly fee (contribution to overheads ) for say at least the next 24 months. Those that don't like it can have their money back…
Secondly you need to change your offer immediately to new clients to a platform such as IPB, where you buy a package (which I think is three times the cost of your current package) then if the client wants to keep it up to date you pay a quarterly charge of £25.00 I think.
You really do need to rethink your model, cheap and cheerful is not always best, remember the two lions analogy, come up with an offer that's better than your competitors in the area of SEO (keyword research ect) at a slightly better price; this way you can't go wrong.
At http://www.get-website-traffic.co.uk we use your software for our clients but we charge a monthly subscription to do their SEO work, so I am earning good money off the back of your software. So to charge a small monthly fee to keep it up to date does not seem unreasonable to me, however if you do go down this road you really must step up your game ie better reliability more useful end user style reports etc.
Also consider a pay as you go option…
Anyway best of luck you have a lot of brain storming and hard work changing this business model around however I have no doubt you will.
Cheers
Clive

Hi Eugene, wow, busy day? I guess since this update came out you've been inundated!
Having recently invested in Market Samurai I was a little disappointed with today's update but instead of immediately reacting and looking for a refund, I decided to play about with the update a bit today and see what kind of functionality I was missing and/or had been added.
I actually found that using Bing for SEOC was quite informative and provided a very different view to Google that threw me a number of ideas and opportunities which I hadn't seen before. I appreciate Google is the number one search engine, but with how quick Bing are trying to keep up, I think their figures are equally valuable.
Missing the pagerank data from Majestic SEO is a bit of a shame at present but I seem to read in that this may be fixed shortly?
Finally the ranking data, yeah this is a real shame but I guess the point of my post is to offer you a bit of support at this time – I think your customer service has been fantastic and your communication worthy of note. If customers are really serious about monitoring their rank I think they should be utilising more than Market samurai anyway as we know there can always be discrepancies and if it's that big a deal, a relatively low ongoing fee shouldn't put them off.
Finally just wanted to ask will the intention be to keep Market Samurai 'as is' with your workarounds for those customers who may not wish to pay the monthly fee?
Keep your chin up and let's all realise that there is NO BETTER solution right now as far as I can see so we may as well trust in the team that has delivered the best solution so far.

The full refund offer says you are about your customer more than anything you could do. “Keep the software and take your money back.” How much fairer can you e than that?
You guys and gals are great. I used the free keyword tool for a year before I bought MS, and no one ever asked me for a dime, I even got my original trial extended by just asking fr an extra month. I use it every day, and sometimes something don't work. Big whoop.
I appreciate the offer of a full refund, but you're not getting this back from me, not even for double my money back.
It is still a Mercedes, it just has a flat. It'll get fixed.
James said:
This is a suggestion that I have but I have no clue if it will work, but as far as the back link checker I always seen my results within market samurai but never really took those results as serious as I do google webmasters. Which shows, I think, more accuarate results.
Google webmasters has improved drastically over the past couple of months but it is quite annoying having to go in there and check backlinks manually.
Maybe you could implement that feature into market samurai. Give tutorials for people who do not have their sites linked with webmasters and then make them sign in to webmasters within market samurai. Webmasters is a free service provided by google and I would be more than happy to sign in within market samurai, if market samurai could go through and count the backlinks that I have and maybe even show a drop down box of the sites linking to me, which can be found within webmasters.
However I do not know if this is something that can be done. But if it would work you could push people into linking their sites with webmasters which is quite easy if you are already linked with analytics (which every website owner should have), and possibly save $10,000 a month.
By saving that amount you may be able to keep the cost of market samurai to a bare minimum if anything at all.
I have done some software development but I have never done anything that accesses anyone's personal information. So this is just a suggestion.

Well, I am brand new here at Samurai Nation. I just invested in my copy of Market Samurai.
I had tried it during the time-expired promotion, but was not able to get it then.
I was so impressed by the product, the excellent service I received in my communications with Ben and by Eugene's display of self control in responding to some of the comments here that I am convinced I can not go wrong doing business with this company despite the challenge it is facing at this time.
I am confident that the company will work hard at preserving the quality of its products and that the value I saw coming in will always be there.
Congratulations to the team at Samurai Nation; keep up the good work.
My special thanks to Ben. Eugene, you are an asset to the company.
Bj said:
Wow, what an education in customer relations as a few others have already said! Professional, courteous, accepting responsibility, exceptionally detailed explanations for all issues raised, quick to offer refunds for dissatisfied customers…. something that I have not seen at this level in a company blog before. And still some people make derogatory comments about your company and an exceptional product that cost very little for its value in the first place.
I have not used MS very much yet so don't understand the full impact of the issue. I did some quick math calculations – if it costs you $40K per day that is $1.2M per month. If you divide it equally by 400K MS users that $3 each per day. Not everyone will buy it so the price will go up. There will be other hidden costs involved that weren't indicated in your post, so the price will go up. Other factors I am unaware of, so the price will go up. Magkano? None of us know at this point. Let's hold on to our hats and ride this out. If it is too prohibitive, some of us will bow out. If it isn't, others of us will buy in. In any case, we are all adults and should make decisions that make sense to our business models without denigrating your company for something out of your control. Every day there are cost increases for things we buy or subscribe to for various reasons. We all know that is simply a reality of life and make decisions accordingly.
Thank you for a refreshing look at how your company operates its business through the way you responded to everyone. I wish you every success as you work to resolve this latest Google “hit”.
Chase said:
Eugene,
First off, Market Samurai is an awesome product. Market changes are absolutely inevitable, especially where Google is concerned. What has happened is outside of your control. I commend you for taking the issue head on and being candid. It will pay off in the end.
PLEASE IGNORE IF OVERLY OBVIOUS
I have little doubt that Raven will have keen interest in getting 400,000 new subscribers. How often does any on-line database search provider get an opportunity like that? Even at $10/month that is $4 million a month in revenue to their bottom line. Yeah, do the math = $48 million a year. Hope you guys are playing hardball on the negotiations there.
A word of caution from someone who has been in the trenches doing hand to hand in biz deals – although it looks great for your customers to have Raven as an alternative – you are sending Raven “free” traffic by recommending your subscriber base to sign up for a free trial. If I were on their side of the table I would be very tempted to slow down negotiations to “starve out” your customers for a two or three months and wait for all the “free trials” to roll into paid subscriptions. After all, at $99/month they would only need 10% of your customer base to come over to Raven for them to equal the revenue of a $10/month bulk deal for all 400,000.
You are also going to run into a problem negotiating a bulk deal unless you can represent with some confidence the amount of customers that will sign up for tracking. Is is 10%, 50%, 90%, etc.? You can't possibly know this before rolling out the deal complete with cost. Yet, you can't know cost until you know how many are subscribing to the service. In my experience you have to bite the bullet here and take your hit – you have to step up and have everyone make a decision – ask for a refund or opt in to the Raven service.
Alternatively, actively market test with your current subscriber base, and segment your test by Rank tracker users. See who will commit to $10/mo vs. $15/mo, etc. Best to do this after “selling” the Raven tool speed and longevity, as well as and especially any added benefits first. Then at least you will understand your ballpark price sensitivity and be able to at least approximate sign ups versus refund requests.
Single cost no limit service businesses always run into the wall of inflation and rising infrastructure and support costs. So, you also need to look at this as a juncture to build in R&D overhead and Raven cost increases over time – in other words add in some growth room on the monthly cost so you do not hit the wall on price limitations too soon.
Lastly, if you look at your anticipated subscription loss for Market Samurai over the next few months you may want to do consider paying whatever it costs for the Google API. I am sure there are some crack teams out there that have the API integration experience and can come on board full steam for integration. Obviously if it is not available then this idea is dead in the water. Equally prohibitive may be cost.
Consider this though, you may find that your Rank Tracker users would be much more amenable to paying a yearly fee to MS for the API access than they will to paying Raven. This again is dependent on cost and profit margins. If Raven is paying $4/month per user for API access or for an amortized cost for the API, then it is a no brainer. If it is $75/user then it will be hard to get anyone excited about waiting for API integration into MS.

Hi,
I felt there was something coming from Google, they are all about business (their business).
They offer free tools to users to suck up their surfing data and then slam the lid on SEO data usage.
I noticed that the Market Samurai searches were not returning backlink data and other parts of the software was performing poorly at different times.
So as not to have all my eggs in one basket, I opted to sign up to SE Cockpit as it does similar to samurai, but faster. Now this is $50 a month, and I can say it's good.
I also use SEO Powersuite and I pay a monthly cost of $10 (now they have their own databases of backlinks and tracking analysis servers) they are worth the money alone.
So for people bitching about having to pay a monthly cost – well that's the way the worlds going. We will have to wait to see what is a reasonable monthly cost/usage.
I think that Market Samurai as a concept is unparalleled – how the concept is executed in the future is all in the melting pot.
I hope the team can fix this and await the results.
PS To all the SEO and IMs – don't keep all your eggs in one basket – Any business that has one critical failure point is NOT Resilient – what alternatives do you have in place for your rank tracking?
Monica said:
Hi Eugene–
Courage, brother. I have dealt with issues completely outside of my control in my own business as well.
When realities strike, it's always the long-earned underlying respect you've already earned that will pull you through. I'm sure there are tens of thousands of people like myself who will remain loyal.
All of my interactions with your company have been STELLAR, and I will continue to point people in your direction through my SEO programs. It's only fair for you to pass costs on in order to remain in business.
One concern with the move to Bing: My understanding has been that Bing was previously exposed as borrowing fake keyword phrase results from Google in when Google planted them for their own testing. This issue may have been long-resolved, but I haven't taken the time to research it since moving my searches to Market Samurai.
I'm sure you also know that Bing bought out Yahoo as of 2012, so Yahoo and Bing's search results would most likely be identical.
Thanks for all the fine service and information I've received from you in the past.
A loyal customer,

Hello Eugene :
I have read your message and all the comments !
. 


give us quick a good solution (even if you will update many times) and at reasonable monthly fee !
Firstly, sorry for my english, I am french and not so easy to write in your language
second : I can understand the changes. In fact I was really surprised not to see these changes well before ! As somebody said, Google do what they want and we have to follow them if we want to stay in this business.
Third : my investment of 97$ many years ago is largely profitable. So thanks for this excellent tool. I even recommended it to some people and made some affiliates sales
Fourth : You are simply the best tool for French and Spanish markets (where my customers are) to follow ranking of hundreds of keywords. So please give us a solution (paid monthly it is ok…) but be kind and cheap !
Fifth: I can't understand so many people crying..even one asking for a refund ! c'mon !
Sixth: I tried some years ago with raventools and finally, I have to ask you to give us a solution. Don't want to go with another solution than MS.
Seventh: I will wait for the complete module of RankTracker but please, please
Eighth: @Eugene , thank to you and you team.. you have made my SEO life easier and PROFITABLE !
Merci beaucoup pour votre excellent outil et service et surtout votre honnêteté !
Bon courage pour la suite !
Je vous appuie à 1000%

I paid $97 for MS back in 2010 and have more than recovered my investment with the sites it has helped me create. So asking for a refund would be kind of ridiculous for me, especially considering your offer to continue using it for free after the refund.
MS is a great tool. I have no regrets purchasing it but do regret some of the changes beyond your control. Yahoo was much better than Majestic SEO as a data source, as Google is much better than Bing will be as a data source.
Regardless I will continue to use MS as it is the best I have found for this and I own several other programs besides this one. But this is the one I use the most.
I bought MS for a fixed fee but am willing to pay a small annual fee to help in it's continued development. By small I mean something in the range of $50-$100 per year, even through I only paid $97 for the original product. The lower the better but I do see and understand the need for an annual maintenance fee.
Having MS not function properly the last few days highlighted in my mind the use I make of the software.
So I look forward to seeing it fully functional again, and just have to hope Bing will produce the same results as Google produced in the past.

I have been a market samurai customer for more than a year now. I have already made way more than what i paid for using the tool.That way you have handles this tough situations has only increase the respect i have for the market samurai team. I mainly use MS for keyword research and i have hardly used the rank tracker. Recently i got hold of traffic travis v4 and i have been using its rank tracking feature to track my client sites. Unlike Ms,Traffic travis uses my own connection(if proxies for not specified)to track the ranking. As of today its working fine. I have never got in to any trouble with Google(i track less than 50 keywords in total) using this feature.
So i believe MS should also make the rank tracker feature work using the customers connection unless if the customer adds some proxies. For those who track hundreds and thousand of keywords, should be advice to buy premium proxies based on their needs.

Hi Eugene, I have only been using MS for a short time, but I find it worth every penny I spent for it. Before I purchased it, I did a comparison of several products and ms provides, in many cases, more options than a lot of the others at a lower price.
If people start jumping out of the car because of little pebbles in the road, so be it. You have handled this issue in a very professional and upfront way and I appreciate your honesty.
If I had to pay a small monthly fee I would be willing to do that. My time is worth a lot to me and I think it would cost me more in the time spent than the ROI for doing it myself.

Could someone help me understand the exact reasons for the change.
William said:
I have read the majority of comments and at this point in time had not bought the products of MS. I was not ready to fully utilize the service with so much going on. After reading about this situation my first reaction was “damn its a good thing I didn't make this purchase.” But I really think I will do just that because you get so much for your buck. These services should be way more expensive and what services can you buy with a one time fee anymore anyway? Just thought I would add my 2 cents. Good luck MS I will convert from my 30 day free trial to the full product. You have my full support.
Maggie@Apps for iPads said:
I just want to take a minute to thank you for being upfront and honest on what is going on. Your software is still, after 2 years, the one I open first thing every day and recommend it to anyone looking for help with SEO.
You obviously cannot control what is going on with Google but can within your own company… and I have grown to trust you to do what is best for everyone, which I am sure you will do now too.
Just keep us apprised of how things proceed and I will be happy. Will I be happy if we have to start paying fees for services? No, because our budgets too tight for that right now and I bought MS because it was a one-time investment, but I know and trust that you will do everything within your power to keep things as close to “normal” as you possibly can.
Thanks again for all your work, devotion to the product and help you have extended to us over the years.

I am starting to think I never fully lifted the veil from in fron my my face with regards to Market Samurai.
Specifically, I thought this software was property of – in whole, or in part – Ed Dale, of the 30 Day Challenge team.
And I could have sworn he was in England.
Eugene Ware? Australia? Huh?
The little picture of Eugene there almost looks like one of the guys that gives a video tutorial for Market Samurai / 30 Day Challenge.. It's been a while since I went through all that stuff. And I still feel like Eugene and the person I'm vaguely remembering are not the same person.
Anyway, bottom line, I don't like feeling like I've been duped. After reading this article, I started to feel a slight desire to maybe check out the product once again – after the fixes, that is – but.. this whole confusion with Ed Dale/Eugene.. that sort of once again places me in the “maybe not” category. I don't like having to solve for X to feel confident I'm not being ripped off somehow.
Also.. I ranked for a pretty competetive keyword in Yahoo. Sure, it was only a page 3 ranking, but considering there are zero backlinks, banner ads, paid traffic or otherwise – I thought that wasn't so bad. I didn't need any sort of tool, Market Samurai or otherwise, to get it done either. That, again, just makes me stop and say, “Why would I give money to … well, quite frankly, I'm not even sure WHO anymore – for something I don't seem to even need?”
In short.. please clarify just who Ed Dale and the 30 Day Challenge team are, and what exactly the affiliation is. Sorry I'm not up to speed on this, but for whatever reason these details matter more to me right now than anything else.

Hi Dan,
I'm sorry about the confusion.
Ed Dale runs the 30 Day Challenge (now The Challenge) and helped to promote Market Samurai when we first launched. Market Samurai is used extensively in The Challenge training, however it is not owned by Ed Dale, however he is an affiliate. Noble Samurai (and Market Samurai) are based in Melbourne Australia and was founded by Eugene Ware. You will have seen Eugene in quite a few of the 30DC training videos as all affiliate partners with 30DC assisted in the training materials.
I hope this clarifies things.

Wow, sorry to hear this! I'm fairly new to the internet marketing arena and found great value in MS when I joined a few months back. Hope functionality is restored soon!
Gabor said:
Hi Eugene,
I am a customer for maybe three months now and I really like your product Market Samurai!
It helped me to get some awesome results, so the investion was it worth totally.
I first was a little depressed the last days as MS did not work as it did before. So I am glad to received this update via email.
The reasons are understandable, for no one these are good news, I think especially for you.
I know you and your team will handle it with a lot of power and find the best solution for everyone!
Thank you for your service,
Gabor, Germany.
Dave@0toCash said:
Eugene, a great post. I appreciate the transparency and honesty of where things are.
A further suggestion – as you pointed out, Bing is becoming more popular. I'd actually like to see the SEO Competition module be able to access to Bing SERP as an option to the Google SERP.
Also, have you looked at using the seoMoz data to get access to their page and trust rank data as a replacement for Google's Pagerank? I have nothing against Majestic from a link DB perspective but I think that reducing the Google footprint overall is a good thing. Using the moz's page and trust rank helps with that and gives us another authority measure.
frann said:
I'd still recommend MS to anybody wanting to do keyword research – once it's all back up and running of course. In the light of some of the stuff the big G has been saying, I'm not that bothered by rank tracking, and have stopped using it for some time. So I'll be quite happy to have the version with rank tracker disabled.

I just wanted to say that as someone that has had some bad dealing with major corporations in the past 2 months, and has witnessed some very unethical behavior on the part of these corporations, I find your action a breath of fresh air.
It amazes me and stuns me that you are offering full refunds, most companies would not bother, especially not for those that have had the software for a long time. I can think of a relatively recent example of a forum software that changed their licensing in mid stream and left their customers hanging, with the explanation of we can change our license whenever we want.
What bothers me is that some of the people here do not appreciate the integrity that you have shown in dealing with this situation, and that there are way too few companies that will bother to do such a thing anymore.
I just want to give you all kudos for handling this situation the way you have, keep in mind that there will always be a few that are going to complain no matter what you do,even if you over deliver as you obviously have, but it seems like the vast majority of the community are supporting you. As for me I am very impress and grateful for your commitment to your customers, and wish more companies would behave the way you have. You have made a life long customer, just for that alone.
For those of you considering the refund, don't… at least for now, give MS a chance to make good and see what they can do. Their obvious class in the way they are dealing with this situation deserves that much!!

Hi Eugene
There are several suggestions about doing the rank tracking manually. Are you able to offer some guidance about how to achieve this. I'm a bit at sea without the Rank Tracker.

Hi Jason.
Checking rankings manually is a bit of a pain. It basically means searching for the keyword manually and clicking through the results until you find the page.
Juanita@Hair Removal at Home said:
I use MS often and have been more than pleased with the features it offers. But nothing has impressed me more than knowing you're keeping it up to date. I'd rather pay more for something that works now, and I know will work later, than to pay less for something that will only work a few months. In an industry that has to deal with ever-changing search engines, the commitment to stay on top of the changes is crucial. You've clearly demonstrated that commitment. Nearly every time I open Market Samuarai there's an update waiting. The fact that you made this rather detailed post and then have spent the time responding to concerns has further shown this commitment. I'm pleased with your professionalism, no matter how small your company. Thanks for working hard to be a safe place in the storm.
Corinne@Coronado said:
I was first introduced to MS at the OTE2 conference back in Oct 2008 when it was still in its infancy with just a few of the modules launched. Even then it was a life changer for me. I still have hundreds of spreadsheets reflecting my manual accumulation of data to remind me just how amazing MS is.
Yes, there have been bumps in the road and this is a particularly bad one. But, I have always found that the Noble Samurai team has done all they could to maintain the integrity and usefulness of the software to the best of their ability even in the face of Google adversity.
Plus, they have always handled each situation with complete honesty and with respect for their users and followers.
If you are going to work in this field, you are going to have to be flexible and constantly adjusting to the changes forced on us by the likes of Google. Personally, I am happy to be on board with the Noble Samurai team to help ride out these constant changes.
Thanks you guys – as always, you are awesome!

Eugene:
The hallmark of Market Samurai has been the honest free flow of issues from you and Anthony on changes that are happening. People should realize that a one-time fee of (97$ which is much lower than any other commercial service out there was a great deal and has been reliable.
I cannot think of any other provider out there that spends the time and effort on training for the revenue you have received, aside from Ed Dale and his crew. Keep on doing it .
Must be something in the beer down under.

Thanks for the info and the updates and providing an awesome product. As an Internet marketing service provider, we find Market Samurai an invaluable SEO/keyword research resource in our SEO tools arsenal. It was a bummer when the Microsoft OCI went away as that was one great filter for commercial intent. Se la vi and on to plan b. Having worked for software companies for over 15 years prior opening eBiz ROI, I fully appreciate the challenges of maintaining a product as successful as Market Samurai, with a broad, diverse, sophisticated, global user base, especially in an environment where web services / APIs change more than some people change their socks and (other undergarments ?;-) Thanks for the info and “wearing the cost” on the Majestic SEO link data as $10K/mo is a lot of inches/cm on the waist. Salamat muli.
Cindy said:
Thanks for the update… I love honesty… so many companies try to hide their problems. I have often wondered how you can possibly make a profit for a one time fee. I use many of the functions in MS but the keyword research and SEO comp are my favorites. I hope you can keep those “free”.
Just keep us updated is all I ask. You have a lot of thinking to do, for sure. Good luck. Love your product!!!
The Happy Rock said:
Rank tracker is the number one module for me. I just wanted to come in and say local searches with minute delays would be perfect for me. Better than having to click update and wait for minutes. If the searches just ran in the bathat ckground every day without user interactions so the results were always up to date that would be ideal.
Guy Harduf said:
Kumusta,
I'm really love working with market samurai, I'm a different Internet marketer, so I didn't made money from using MS but I did save a lot of money and time, totally worth it.
And I do need my sites to rank first place in Google, still number 1 search engine in Israel.
Probably I won't be a paying member if you'll start charging monthly fee, but I won't ask for a refund either.
A small advice, before deciding on a way of action, you should make a survey to find out how many people will ask a refund, how many people will pay a monthly fee and maybe for what people will pay and for what they won't.
After all it's the information stage and you better decide on information and don't go on a hunch.
Every e-marketer will tell you that, but I'm sure you already know it.
Last thing, I a man of ideas and if i may say I'm very good at finding the way out from an “unsolved” problem/ situation. I did it a lot in my life.
I'm ain't sure if I'll be able to help you, because of lack of knowledge but sometimes knowledge covers the solution.
I might see something or somethings that's hiding your knowledgeable eyes.
I'm offering this service for free hoping you'll keep market samurai free (as you see I will gain something).
Thank

I have read all the comments thus far, and there have been a lot of them. I have read them not because I was necessarily learning new things about Market Samurai, but because I felt I was learning something about customer service and how to deal with your clients when the proverbial hits the fan. Excellent job Eugene.
Ako ay galit. Ko talagang am. But not with Market Samurai. Maybe not even with Google. This is what you get in any industry that is essentially a monopoly. One over-powering organization that can play havoc with prices and or service/product quality. It's been this way since year dot, will continue to be. I can't even necessarily blame Google for their changes if they see SEO as counter-productive to what they want (although I think it should be enough to penalize bad content, reward good content). I think I am angry because I feel somewhat helpless. Buffeted along by the winds of change. Such is life.
My personal circumstances don't allow for additional monthly costs but I am a very small player who is not making money yet so maybe the free rank checking for small amounts of keywords will be sufficient. That being said, I have always thought the SEO Competition module was what made Market Samurai special, the competitive advantage so to speak. If that manages to avoid attracting a monthly cost then I think you will retain the majority of your customers.
Eugene and team, I wish you all the best and my thoughts are with you now. As much as I could use the money the refund would give me, I won't be claiming it. I have been a user since 2008 and have had reward for my investment many times over.
Good luck.

Market Samurai has been the best deal in SEO and online marketing research software for quite some time.
You guys have displayed good faith in all your dealings. Offering the functionality that you do, with the frequency of updates that you provide at a *fixed price* is such a good deal that I have assumed that you were losing money and would revert to a continuity within weeks of my purchase.
Obviously that never happened. I have written code to do some of what MS does and it is a royal pain to maintain because of the constant changes to the UI at websites that must be navigated automatically by the software. Which is why I just used MS for a lot of my market research data gathering, export the data to excel (actually Open Office calc) and just code the back-end processing which does not need to change.
I want to thank the MS crew for their reliably persistent commitment to keeping the software current.

You guys have done an excellent job and really your software is fantastic it's not your fault if google change the rules. I will stick with you for all my rankings tracking and I have market samurai and article samauri because everything you have done works and you are honest when it does not. I love the way you do business anyone who is unhappy Please remember this. These guys have always looked out for our interests and cannot control what google does. They have already provided excellent value and probably have never made much profit as a lot of their free updates would have swallowed up any. I have only ever used this software for my own mortgage business and even for a small trader like me it has been profitable

Theo said:
I can understand those who are upset about MS performance over the last few months.
Personally i paid $97 almost 3 years ago so i can't complain, i have used MS as my main KW research tool.
I actually advised Eugene to add a monthly sub months ago to keep MS working, and he declined. I have no problem with a reasonable monthly cost if it keeps MS up to date and makes it FASTER!!! (My main gripe)
Google is changing weekly it seems, so to keep our favorite KW tool running we are going to have to cough-up.
@Eugene, Miriam and MS team, thanks for all your effort over the years and hopefully we may see MS working and improved for years to come.
PS! RECOMMENDATION
I only use the KW, SEO and RT modules, never the other add-ons. Maybe cut out the extra baggage and redo MS make it accurate and FASTER.

While I am disappointed in the current limited functionality of MS it is the only tool that I have been able to afford in order to run my business and considered it a steal of a deal. That being said, I understand that things change. I personally would never operate a software company on a one time payment model and would at least have a yearly subscription (if not monthly) to cover operating costs and expenses. Albeit I know that the one time payment is what made MS so attractive but perhaps it it time to change the model. People don't realize, things cost money. Google offers services for free such as access to their search engine and then makes money with adwords. Nothing is free in life. I for one will not be terribly upset if you have to introduce a yearly or monthly pricing model so long as you continue to provide me with the data that I need to fun my business. Perhaps those who want to have a one time payment can check out SEO Powersuite http://www.link-assistant.com/download.html or are they having the same problems as MS? That being said, I understand that this change is out of your control and that you need to do something to make it work that you would rather not do. I've enjoyed us MS for the last 5 years and will continue to be a customer so long as the rates remain reasonable. (For the pissed off cheapskates who are threatening to sue you, if it were me, I would give them a refund and send them on their way, you don't need nor want a customer like that (I know I don't) All the best to you and I trust that you will sort this out.

Graham replied:
SEO Powersuite is not a one off payment I'm afraid..
They have a sly business model lurking in the background where you have to pay for algo updates and decapture credits that is NOT mentioned anywhere on their site.
I'm not dissing them for having a recurring fee, sadly it's become essential in this game, it's just that unlike the Noble Samurai team, Link Assistant are not upfront about it.
I would imagine similar problems (if not far worse) are occurring with their version of Rank Tracker.
In addition, their software (like any other good SEO research tool) requires reliable proxies to operate on full steam. Anyone who has been in this business for any length of time will realise when that's the case, a decent number of high quality private proxies are the only reliable way forward (another monthly expense!)

As of this morning there are NO issues with their Rank Tracker software as far as my experience goes, all reults are coming through and they are up to date. (i simply had to fill in 1 captcha)
You are correct, however, that there is a hidden charge for using their software which kicks in after 6 months but is around the cost of MS and if you took advantage of their $99 xmas special the costs are very reasonable (thats for the whole package of 4 programs).
I use both tools as cross reference and neithe ris better than the other imho.

Tamara replied:
As a former team member of SEO PowerSuite I can tell you that their Rank Tracker works differently and therefore doesn't face the same problem most of the time. The checks run from your own computer, not from the developer's server, so you can make your own tweaks to the speed/frequency of search, involve some human emulation and then you're the one who actually determines whether you're able to work, or whether you face problems. I can't say this approach is better or worse than MS's – it's just that two similar tools collect data a bit differently, and as long as everything's working fine you don't notice much difference. But at least please rest assured the same trouble won't happen to SEO PowerSuite Rank Tracker.
Anyway I have to say that Market Samurai is respectable software and it is sad that this nasty ban happened. I hope the team will sort this soon.
Thomas Rozof said:
Eugene,
From the very start of MS you and your team have treated us with the highest degree curtesy and generosity. As the owner of a technology company myself we have encountered our own share of developmental challenges over the last four years. Just like MS we at SYNND have members who know we are genuinely intent on serving them with the very best innovative software that saves them time and money in the long run. Unfortunately, reaching these goals often involves a dependency on interrelated technologies that are not fully under our control.
We live in a time of greater global interrelationships. Because of this I seek to work ONLY with people who have a reputation of consistent high ethical behavior and who can be trusted to keep my needs, as well their own in view when (not if) a technical problem is encountered.
I would trust you and your team at MS with anything that required a relationship of TRUST. I say this not just because of how you have treated us at Social Media Science, but also because of our extensive relationships with many owners and users of Internet technology within the industry.
Please let me know if there is anything we can do to help. I am betting that you have lots of members who feel just as we do, and who will therefore give you every benefit of the doubt as you seek to restore MS to its position as one of the top research centers on the net.
Sincerely,

Yes it is true – and your company and its behavior could learn a lot from these guys. Besides the honesty from the MS folks, which your folks clearly lack, many of your customers have been waiting and paying for promised modules for months if not years while paying monthly fees for vapor.

Hi Lore,
Sorry you feel that way. I assume you were a member at one point? When was that? If you had a negative experience I apologize and if you want to give SYNND another try I can set you up with a discount if you write me directly. Synnd has not had any performance issues for some time, but I admit, that first year was a struggle.
However, you should read some of the very kind emails people sent us (very similar to what the MS team is receiving here
. On our part, in order to say “thanks” to our many loyal members, we are increasing the monthly credits of all SYNND memberships this week by 30% or more, free of charge. SYNND now supports Bookmarking, Social News, ReTweets, Facebook LIKES, Google +1, a new Article Network, a new Press Releases System (to launch next week), added RSS expansion, Blog commenting (and Video is coming), a new API Interface being used by large SEO Firms and others who want to White Label SYNND…But the one feature that still sets SYNND apart from other like systems is this: All These Modules Are Generated From an ISP Level IP Address from SYNND member computers located in the US and around the world instead of Proxie IPs or a single IP from your own computer. With 175 people joining each week the number of independent IPs keeps growing. So please come back and give it a try. (And sorry MS guys for taking up your PR juice with SYNND related news…and feel free to just send me comments to Lore if you would rather not have this posted blog.

Hi Eugene,
Thanks for what you and your team have achieved so far. While I am not a “power user” I have worked with Market Samurai for, I think, over two years and got good value from it. Asking for a refund would feel like ripping you off!! Even if you were to terminate the entire thing right now!
Big changes are inevitable. I remember when banks (at least here in Germany) offered everyone free accounts to have their wages transferred to. Then, when everyone had them and employers didn't pay cash anymore the banks started charging fees for the service…
So if Google – or any other big player one has to make use of – decides to change their game, I guess they neither ask you whether it is convenient or even inform you.
I realise that you guys did a lot of work to keep thing running AND improving the product. Quite a amazingly actually for a relatively small one time fee. Yes, amazing. I have seen a different tool that cost, I think, about three times what I paid for MS – for just six months of usage.
So, thanks again and I will see what you come up with as solution. Maybe I will like it, maybe I will not – in any case Google's maneuvers are not you fault.

Do you have a recommended SEOLC number to add to Golden Rules with the new bing data 100,000 is obviously going to be way too high but I am unsure where to set it at.
30,000 is obviously the 30% mark but I am not sure if this would be accurate for Australia, please advise.

I heard a lot of things about your software. It's a nice piece of software. Actually, the main reason I wanted to buy it is because of the Majestic SEO API since Yahoo is gone..
I think only for that YOU should buy this product. However, my question is:

Can you handle them? I don't want to buy this software and see that a lot of functionalities don't work, because then I am dissapointed.

Dude….apparently you didn't READ the post. They are not thinking of charging monthly because they got more users. Google changed the way they allow software to grab their info. So I tell you what.

Glad to hear that there is no subscription for non-Rank Tracker module. I understand the need to move into subscriptions based, however I'd appreciate if there is a free level like you mentioned in your post for those new to internet marketing and those who only have few keywords to track.

Ahh…. well it was nice knowing you. There are still some features I like besides the ranking tool but I agree it was slow. Maybe you should try limiting the amount of keywords in the ranking tool?

If the problems is mainly with HIGH VOLUME USE of Rank Tracker (thousands of URLs per day/week?), I completely understand a monthly charge to cover that HIGH VOLUME usage.

Jane said:
Hi Eugene,
I am an avid supporter of Market Samurai and I'd like to provide some encouragement. With Market Samurai and a bit of knowledge of my own, I have been able to get our biggest keyword (and related income) up to #1 on google. We also have other #1′s and many first page keywords.
I wouldn't want to be without Market Samurai and, frankly, it's not because of the Rank Checker feature, which I consider to be a bit cumbersome. I actually stopped using it because I found it more effective to pick out keywords myself. You may actually be able to improve the effectiveness of your product by suggesting that other people do that, too. From my experience, the Rank Checker feature doesn't actually narrow in as well as some simple research.
The feature I use most is SEO Competition, because I want to see how our sites and relevant pages compare to the competition. I appreciate all of the comparisons, and particularly hone in on the PR rankings of the top 10 sites to select keywords, along with a few other things. If the average PR rankings of the top 10 sites are high, I figure I might as well look for something that would be easier to tackle. For example, if the average PR Ranking is 4, I'd rather look at a comparable word with an average of 2. Just makes sense to me and it seems to work.
My goal is to optimize our assets, so we can increase our positions and the SEO Competition feature works very well. One thing that would help, if there is any way to do it, is to provide the average PR of the top 10, because I have to calculate it myself.
If I had that number, my research would go much faster. I do use the google tool to decide which keywords to target. Then I use SEO Competition to see how we compare with the top rated sites. It works like magic!
Thanks so much for your great program. I'm sure all of this will work out.
Lubos na bumabati,
Jane

Graham said:
Hi Eugene,
I have to say, you guys are handling all this with a level of calm professionalism so rarely seen in the business world overall, let alone in the field of SEO and internet marketing guru's. Gold stars all round.
..and to all the blind whingers: if you had any idea of just how much ongoing coding and background work it takes to keep a product like Market Samurai functioning, then maybe you'd understand why a monthly fee is the only way.
With Market Samurai we've all had what is pretty much a free ride for quite a few years now – bearing in mind its power the initial one off payment was low anyway – many would (and do) charge twice as much or more for far less, and even then that 'far less' often stops working altogether a few months down the line turning into f all.
Fear not, these guys are committed to providing you the best value and service possible, you can trust them 100% not to empty your pockets on empty promises, they'll always do the best they can to keep the product working as best it can for the least amount of expense to the customer possible, it should be obvious from Eugenes posts that they really do care – absolutely no question about that.
Their initial low one off payment business model was designed to help support the little guys, the underdogs who want to get a head start in SEO & internet marketing and give them a chance to make some money online, in fact in reality it was so much more than that, not only did they provide the tool to do it with, they actually taught you how to do it too.. – talk about value for money! – they could have charged so much more for the whole package from the start!
I'm confident the issues don't lie with Eugene and the Market Samuria team wanting to drive around in Ferrari's (although fairplay if they already do – they deserve it!), they lie with the more money minded business models of the other companies they have to be involved with to obtain the data. Unfortunately that leaves them with no other option than to alter their business model accordingly. Unfortunately very little in the world of SEO data is free thesedays.. well, not unless you wan't to do it all manually.. yeah right.. even then, access is still limited.
Anyway, having been a customer since its launch I would never consider a refund even if MS never worked again, even back then, for a $97 I'd have been pleased had it only worked for a year!

EXCEPT for the fact that we were told we were getting lifetime updates for a ONE TIME PAYMENT.
STILL on the MS sales page is says the same thing. One payment for life. I gather MS are not refusing new sales??

I have been a satisfied customer of MS since it's inception. For a mere $97.00 I have had countless hours of research at my fingertips. MS has continually improved. I feel very lucky to have had this run. I know it will continue to be a useful tool. I feel like MS is an old friend I would hate to loose. For those few who have complained I have to ask, How can you possibly! What more could you have asked for! I look forward to a continued friendship.

By the way guys…
PLEASE make the paid features of this tool an OPTION.
Please dont just incorporate it hard coded within the tool. Not all of us are hung up on checking our rankings using MS.

Hello MS Team,
Thanks for the public explanation!
MS has paid for itself multiple times.
The training videos are the most concise and easy to understand intro to SEO. After watching the training videos, I bought the software as I had already gotten $100 worth.
Eugene, please poll your users re: subscription pricing. I pay for SEOmoz and feel that it is inferior to MS. Or send out a request to your members, “Choose your level of recurring payment:”. Make zero an option, but let freeloaders know that the days of couch-surfing must surely come to an end.
As I told a person I was training on SEO, “MS is slow, but the data is worth it”.

I”ve been using Market Samurai for 2 1/2 years. I have relied heavily on this tool to rank and grow my business. For a one-time low price, you have provided me with easy to understand, valuable information, great customer service
and outstanding tutorials and information.
I trust that you will continue to provide a great product and give us the best price.
So hang in there…this too shall pass. And your loyal customers will stay with you.

Hi Noble Samurai's
I was initially frustrated with the situation but having had time to really think about it I would support a pay-per-rank-check feature being introduced into MS.
There really aren't any alternatives on the market that are both reliable and affordable (to me anyway).
A pay-per-use model would also force me to get out of the bad habit of feeling the urge to check my rankings every single day lol!
I wish you all the luck over the next few weeks and I hope you don't let the whiners get to you!
JP said:
Hi Eugene,
I use MS every single week and many weeks, several times a day. When things broke, it was a disruption in my business. So I am glad that you are “on the case.”
MS is BY FAR one of the BEST SEO tools on the planet. I use other tools too and yes, I pay monthly fees ranging from $97 to $497 per month. This is what you do if you are serious about SEO, online marketing and rankings.
All I can say is fix things and fix them fast! We MUST have access to Google data and not just Yahoo or Bing.
Of course if you charge a monthly fee you will lose some, but if you have to….you have to. And those who do this full time, get it. So do it.
You cannot control what Google does, but please do what needs to be done to make sure MS stays the same kick butt tool it has been and will be in the future.
Unlike others who have posted that it's okay if MS never works perfectly again or got enough value from paying once before “it broke”…that is not the case for me.
Of course I have gotten tons of value from MS, but it is a tool I want and need forever and so getting this fixed and charging me a monthly fee for it is worth it!
What I don't want to have happen is you not charge what you need to and thus MS goes away or is severely limited by the change.
Santiago Urquieta said:
I'm very conscious of the tremendous effort made to keep the service active from Market Samurai. So I encourage you to go ahead. I hope that very soon will have all new solutions or improvements. I'm not willing to seek any refund, on the contrary, I have no more to be thankful for the great tool they have created. I have not seen anything like it online. Keep it up guys and we are waiting … Best regards from Chile.
Greg Savage said:
Thanks for the update. I hope this all works well in the end and I agree with John. Please makes this optional
Harry said:
Basically, I am not good with this, I totally realize the predicament, but nonetheless, I am expecting you to find a way through this, but as I keep reading your comments, I fear there's a sense of giving up that seems to be coming through, and if we have to pay something, then it must be something like 3 to 5 usd per month, ie something that supports your program for survival, not an added revenue just because you are not doing your job well enough as sellers and marketers. Sell sell, and you will get more money from new subscribers, try not make us, old timers, who believed in you in the first place, when others did not, to pay for all this.
Gary said:
Hi Eugene and MS guys
I just wanted to say from my end I get it, and its massively frustrating for all but s*#t happens and the internet is changing.
Nobody wants to pay ongoing fees for MS but ultimately people have to realise that MS is actually a business.
If you dont charge ongoing fees if required then you'll just end up out of business and all those “free updates” that we all regularly enjoy will soon stop happening and then nothing will work.
One thing I've always appreciated about being on the MS list is that you guys never ever promote anything and grab your affiliate share like so many others.
But……maybe its time to do that and make some easy money from your 400,000 strong list.
If you recommend something that's good and people buy it why shouldn't you make some extra money and keep MS costs low.
Just my two cents.
Morten Rais said:
I agree with John Romaine to make subscriptions optional. It would not be to hard to make a page ranker function that was putting the effort on the clientside. Eg. a search on a 100 result page, scrape the result and analyze on the client side. then narrow it down with a 10 result pr. page search.
This would satisfy ms users with few keyword and sites
Paul said:
How could free services accessed and used by Market Samurai suddenly cost $40,000 a month? This just doesn't make sense. If true, It looks as if this is total failure to fulfill a contract and refunds of millions of dollars of unearned fees and commissions paid will need to be refunded. It looks as if inside promoters who made thousands if not tens of thousands and others who made a few dollars have a lot of commissions to rebate to Market Samurai in addition to Marketer Samurai rebating the full software cost to customers. I would speculate there were 20 to 30 million dollars of sales of the software product on 2 0r 3 hundred thousand users and now Market Samurai promoters want to escape with all that money. Someone has likely pocketed a lot of money and would now be trying to renig on a contract. I smell fraud and federal and international investigation.
Ana said:
Hi Eugene,
Thanks for explaining it so well. I know checking our rankings is vital to the business, but I understand the difficult situation MS is in right now.
Still, MS is one of my best tools and as others have already said, have paid for itself many times over. The video training that your group has provided was so valuable to me and I am grateful that it was part of the MS.
For those who aren't as understanding as most of us, well at least their are fewer in number
I just hope that your team will make the paid features of this tool an OPTION and not otherwise. I still love MS even without the rank checker.
iConvergence said:
Provide free captcha and rotation proxy should work for ranking.
Maybe this is an option to look into ?
Steve@Goal Profits said:
Hi Eugene,
There's a saying, “when Google sneezes, the rest of us catch a cold” and we just have to deal with it. In my opinion, you're being more than generous in offering a refund. I have every faith that your team are working hard on behalf of my $97 and I'm more than happy to stick with you.

Jason@Elderly Personal Alarms said:
Whilst this is a major pain for me I guess it was probably inevitable that this would happen. I have a number of SEO software programs that always grind my internet connection to a halt after running the thousands of queries that they do or request I pay for a CAPTCHA license. My preference has always been MS due to its ease of use and the fact I never had the issues that I do with other tools.
As for the swap to Bing I don't think that is necessarily such a bad thing either as the more work I do in the SEO field the more relevant Bing seems to be – after all most of my traffic is from IE clients and the majority of users won't change its default settings so maybe we are all missing a trick here?
MS is a good tool and that is not an easy task to accomplish. I am sure that people who can create something this good will come out with the best solution at the end of the day…. remember guys if it was easy it wouldn't be worth doing. Good luck.
Alfonsan@SocioMedia 21 SLU said:
Hi
You pointed out that Bing+Yahoo represents 30% of search volume, but thats US only. For Spain, Germany or many other 1st world countries, Bing+Yahoo represents 3 to 5% only, and that's for a reason…
Bing seems to be extremely unreliable for international results, I have top 10 Bing rankings for competitive keywords that don't rank top 50 for Google, and I have top ten long tail rankings in Google that are not even in the first 1000 on Bing.
Do you believe we will get valuable results? why should we trust that data?
Andrew said:
That's a real shame guys. I have an account with raven tools, but like to be able to check my rankings daily. MS was perfect for that.
As a new user I only got to use it for a couple of weeks before it started playing up.
Unfortunately I may be asking for a refund as it was purchased by my new employer.
Good luck for the future!
MaRK said:
Hi,
Thanks for the info, although i am slightly at odds as to why the original poster hasnt posted again in over 100 posts?
Anyway, I also use SEO powersuites tools, one of which is RANK TRACKER and after checking it this morning seems to be running fine so they dont seem to have been affected.
I am sure the MS guys will get this sorted out, hopefully it will be faster and better when it returns.
The only thing i felt pretty annoyed about was your assertions that BING is as good as Google for certain functions in MS (or any other tool involved in Internet Marketing) – i have to say that according to any and ALL data i can find regarding market share, useage etc Google is FAR superior to Bing in all areas and that your figures of Bing having 30% is grossly false.
Apart from that i am happy to wait to see what you come up with HOWEVER i will NOT be taking part in any monthly costs which is a shame but in this mine field of internet marketing you have to stop paying for stuff sometime or it just gets a little too crazy.

Joe said:
Must be about 3 years now with MS and have truly received my monies worth from it already, so would be a bit cheeky asking for a refund.
Certainly is has been Rank Tracker that I have been using more and more rather than keyword research and miss this function.
If it comes to a paid service, then surely the amount of usage would determine the costs we will pay. Those who use it most should pay the most after all MS will be paying more for the volume of info that they receive.
As far as MS support is concerned, I have found them second to none. Previously I lost a lot of data and had mixed up data for Rank Tracker and support walked me through each step until everything was fixed.
Google are a law to themselves as they have shown time and time again. They strive to get more from us and are giving less back! How can MS be accountable for any other companies attitude/policy's etc.

But if the problem is to make large amounts of centralized queries, why don't you let such queries be performed locally and just provide a proxy download service, or simply let ppl have their own proxies?

Hi Magnus, this is a potential solution that we are looking into – you can currently do this by deselecting 'use inbuilt proxies' and entering your own proxy list (under file->settings->proxies)

I can not imagine if Market Samurai will eliminate features that are particularly SEO, PR, and Track Rank. Due to the reason why I dare to step to buy Market Samurai.
I do not expect a refund, because I believe the Noble Samurai team will work hard to make its customers are not disappointed.
Lastly, I'll keep waiting and using the Market Samurai trying to do the best for its customers.

I'm a long time MS user, and you have my 100% support. You guys have always over delivered, and I sincerely appreciate your commitment and your integrity.

I'm completely confident that however you structure your new business model, it will continue to offer exceptional value at a fair price.
Hang in there, and keep up the excellent work – thank you!
Jon said:
This will be a training course at many abusiness school on how to lose 400,000 customers and screw up your business!
Market Samurai is a lead capture device, it has a one off charge to determine if users are serious. It is the same old game, you give something of exceptional value (lifetime use of Market Samurai) in return for our trust and you then upsell us to Article Samurai, 99 designs and your other stuff.
You describe yourself as a small company, well a small company that has had over $20 million from Market Samurai and a nice monthly income from Article Samurai.
If you charge for Market Samurai you will lose any trust you gained and your name will be mud forever.
I have found Market Samurai less and less relevant anyway, I have cheap tools that cost me $7 on WF that are more useful. Market Samurai has been “in beta” for the years I have used it, I started using it less because every time I load it up, an update was needed. Then when results came they were NEVER complete.
Look we understand that “IT” happens, Google moves the goal posts but you have to figure it out, WITHOUT expecting us to put our hand in OUR pockets!
If you charge for this “the challenge” is dead, even if you offer the 42 day free trial, word will get around that your name is mud.
I suggest that you keep it free as was implied when we bought it, you may not be able to provide all you do now, well so be it, do what you can when you can, nobody is expecting you to get around this in a week.

I must say its very very flustrating that MS has more and more problems. I know it's not you fault guys but…
Ok. My question is: what happend with Google that you have the issue with Rank Tracker? What they (Google) do few days ago?
Please at least bring back the PR Backlink module as soon as its possible. Is it possible to do it in so reasonable time?

Hi Eugene,
I purchased the full paid version One week ago. While I understand the problem associated with this product. I am uphold by yours long time business supports and loyal customers. No doubt, they benefit from this product. While I appreciate their view point. I also understand this product is still being market to new customers like myself. I think this is very wrong. MS should not be marketed until the problem is fully resolved. Or let customers have an option. Also as a new user of MS, from the comments, it seems like this will be an ongoing concern. I can't support the product because, I didn't did get a chance to used or enjoy the product like some of customers. SORRY

These are changes that were out of your control. I've had Google f#@$ with my business too, and sometimes there is nothing you can do.
I'm sure you'll find a way to offer your service in a new way.
As for comments above that I read where MS should have seen this coming … MS has ALWAYS been proactive and has ALWAYS done a great job staying up to date. But sometimes things happen that are just out of your control.

Kudos to the team at MS for providing a fantastic product, despite all of the changes online in recent years. I first started using MS as part of the 30 Day Challenge and have since used it for myself and to offer keyword research to my clients. I don't see how anyone who's been using it for a while couldn't have made a return on their investment MANY times over.
Eugene, you've earned my respect for being honest, upfront and responsive throughout this whole process. I have a background in PR and have seen many others out there who could learn from your example.
Keep up the good work and know you have many supporters!

Ken said:
Eugene,
I'm amazed.
Amazed that you guys have got most of the functionality restored in such a short time. Seriously… kudos!
Amazed that you have handled the backlash of something completely out of your control with such professionalism and tack.
Amazed that Market Samurai was and still is a fixed price product (although that was a BIG selling point for me as an occasional user).
Amazed that MS does so much, so efficiently.
Amazed that anyone can complain for this hiccup when you have been nothing but upfront and clear about this change and why it happened.
Amazed that anyone thinks they can get a better value for what MS does anywhere else.
I'd just like to throw my two cents in and say that I would have a hard time paying a subscription in that I rarely use MS. Not to say it doesn't have any value for me. Quite the opposite. It is invaluable for me when I need it for keyword research. There isn't a better tool on the market and I've tried them all!
After doing some SEO tool programming, I've always thought that relying on ongoing sales to be able to maintain such a monster (just keeping up with parsing changes) would be, at best, a risky proposition.
But you guys have done it for a long time flawlessly. Here I go being amazed again!
So I just wanted to add my support to what I feel is the best of the best. Best functionality, best support, and by far the best consideration for the customer. (period)
But rather than just being a fanboi with nothing of value to add, I was thinking…
Since you have a huge user base, and given this user base is not all using the product at the same time, what about using the the client machines to do some of the heavy lifting in a distributed way?
Sure, you'd have to write a service and it would be a major undertaking but think about it. You'd be able to throttle the queries on the individual machines (within the service itself) and never bump into Google's limits.
You could even do a ratio type quota system where one could only do as many queries as his/her machine has credits. Credits being earned by the work his/her machine has done. Much like a download ratio in the BitTorrent circles.
I know it's a dream… it's always been a dream of mine to have a distributed network of machines to turn to when I needed to get around throttle limits. It would be very difficult to implement initially, but think of the possibilities for the future.
The free users would be able to contribute for the use of the product with a system like this as well.
I for one wouldn't mind at all if a query was made from my machine every 30-60 seconds for the benefit of a fellow user. Especially if it meant that I would be building credits for when I needed them.
400k machines means 400k queries per minute (theoretically) without threat of hitting any throttle limits.
Lamang ng isang pag-iisip ...
Take care and keep up the great work!

Just wanted to say thanks – this is an excellent example to hold up to show what a company should be doing to serve their customers in today's world.
I bought MS a long time ago, and I use it daily. Losing the Rank Tracker hurts, but it isn't even why I bought the tool, and the core competencies are still there as strong as ever.
To be honest, I could really use $97 in my bank account right now – but there is *NO WAY* I would request a refund after having witnessed the level of dedicated shown to date at Noble Samurai.

Geez Louise people. Kumuha ng isang mahigpit na pagkakahawak.
It always amazes me the histrionics that users go into when something changes and the “free” lunch comes to an end.
Let's do a little back of the envelope math here. From what I gather MS would have to eat $40K a day in charges to keep everything “free.” We know that ain't gonna happen. So let's take $40KX 30 days = $1,200,000 per month. Take $1,200,000/400000 MS users = $3.
That's 3 bucks a month folks. You can't buy a decent beer for that in a bar.
Now let's account for some dead loss. Let's say MS loses a chunk of complainers, free loaders, and other assorted “users”. And we have to jack the cost up to $4 a month.
Heck let's give the boys some breathing room and bump it up to $5 a month.
Now I know that charging an extra $5 a month would cause some worldwide economic disruption. I mean it might actually mean that some folks might just have to give up one cup of foo foo coffee a month!
Gasp and swoon….perish the thought! $5 per month and then we can go onto the next item of business.
Am I missing something here?

PS To all the complainers out there remember the old Japanese phrase “Nothing is as expensive as that which you obtain for free.” So why don't you shove off…they have offered you a refund (which is way beyond the call of duty). That way we can thin out the herd, get down to a serious core of business users and maybe just help MS and ourselves to jointly build a better product that will help us all in the end.

I may not have my other responses printed, as they may not concur with the present attempts of MS to maintain credibility with this matter, so can I suggest for the “truth”, you check out the Warrior Forum and one of the posts which questions the integrity of the answers given as to the real reasons? Namely, NOTHING has changed with Google lately, other “competitors” have not had any work to do, changing their software to match varying algorithms. The problem (as they say) lies with the way MS was set up to function a long time ago, and it will not work as it was supposed to. And it is pretty obvious that the comments on here have been VERY selective, are VERY one sided, and do not reflect all round opinion from MS users. It looks to me like MS are even using this “disaster” as even more hype. It all leaves a very bitter taste in the mouth……….. please, let us just have the real truth.

Dave Wood replied:
First of all thanks Mark for the kind words and the good quote.
As for you Bertie, you quote the Warrior Forum as a source that MS is basically lying trying to gouge it's community out of more money.
Quoting the Warrior Forum is like asking your barber if you need a haircut. Half the guys on there would sell you the Brooklyn Bridge a piece at a time if you were gullible enough to buy it. That's why I don't waste a lot of time there.
Where I come from the old saying goes “put your money where your mouth is.” MS has offered refunds and if you think they are liars or their software is defective take the refund and take a hike.
Now I'm not a blind cheerleader here. If I were thinking that MS was giving me the shaft, then I would be shouting it from the rooftops. Actions speak louder than words. They have done a superb job in the past, they have been upfront about the present problems, and they are offering refunds to people who just don't get it.
If you don't believe me just try logging into your Google account. Every time for the last three days I have been getting popups from them touting their new privacy policy. That's Googlese for saying we just moved the goal posts again and we aren't going to tell you how, why, or exactly what we did.
They've done it in the past and you can count your bottom dollar they will do it again.
And when you quote the MS unnamed “competitors” I would submit that in the past MS has had no superiors and practically no equals as far as I have seen. And I have looked.
Believe it or not Bertie I'm not trying to beat up on you but you have to take the scales off your eyes and see the world for what it is. Google isn't necessarily your friend and having guys like MS in your corner only helps.
Yours truly,
Dave Wood

Google 94.82%, Bing 2.45%, Yahoo 1.99%, Ask Jeeves 0.58%, AVG Seach 0.05%. It seems Bing/ Yahoo are of no use to me and google is king.

Google's recent actions are unfortunate but it's great to know you all are working on behalf of us small business owners. Salamat sa iyo!

Thank you very much for the heads up and the honesty. Market Samurai is still the best keyword research tool on the market. I haven't used the rank tracker module much in the past but it does suck with what is happening.
Because of what is happening I just bought a wordpress plugin that will track stuff for me, but I know it will have to go through a proxy service so the IP doesn't get banned. Keep up the great work guys and I know you will make sure Market Samurai stays on the top as far as quality goes.

I hate to admit this, but I've often thought “I would be happy to pay a small monthly fee for the continuing value MS means to my business.” I can only imagine the on-going costs involved in keeping MS current with all the changes going on in the Google world. I have been using Rank Tracker on a regular basis for all my clients as their Google ranking is a key data point and needs to be accurately measured. I suspected that the day would come where a monthly fee was necessary in order to maintain the quality of data we depend upon. I am surprised (and grateful) that it has not come sooner. I would be happy (OK, maybe “happy” is not the best word, but “understanding” works) to pay a small monthly fee if it means that I can continue to receive the value I've come to expect from MS. Hats off to you and your team for producing a valuable tool and keeping it updated over these past years without asking for any additional fees. Now that it looks like those fees are coming, perhaps it will sort out all the “recreational users” and reduce the load on your servers.
Thanks too for your professional attitude in the face of what must be a significant time of stress for you! My best to you and the MS team. I will be a continuing fan!

Hi Guys,
Does any of you know what a good ratio would be for SEOC between google and Bing. I have a feeling that SEOC is a lot lower in Bing then Google but I have no idea by how much and neither know if it is across the board or just they keywords in the niche we work.
Salamat,
Nik

Bring it on guys, and keep it coming.
Vadim said:
I know you have mentioned that SEOC column is fixed but it does not work for me and it does not provide correct data (it gives figures and when I go to Bing to check they are completely different). I was wondering if this is happening to anyone else? Or is SEOC not fixed yet?
Thanks and keep up the good work fixing it.

Hi Vadim,
We're investigating this, however it looks like the link that we are sending you through to has a slightly different set of results (smaller) than those returned by our API query. So far we have found that if you manually enter the query into Bing you get the same results as Market Samurai.
Our development team will take a closer look at this so we know exactly why the numbers differ.

Hi Eugene,
Thanks for your honest, helpful, and professional update and responses. I won't say I'm not a little disappointed at the thought of having to pay more. Getting such an amazing tool with free updates for just $97 was a great deal. The reasons you give, however, are reasonable. I hope you can work out a sliding scale as I don't consider myself a power user. My preference would be a limited free option progressing to a credit based/pay as you use option and then for power users have a monthly fee for unlimited.
My sympathies and encouragement to your development team in this stressful time. I used to work as a developer at a company that produced an application that relied on web services of another company (not SEO). When they changed something on their end it was usually with little warning and then broke something on our side. So I know how hard you are working on a solution while customers are coming with the pitchforks. As seen on the other comments, most people do appreciate your efforts in producing such a quality piece of software and the admirable way you have handled this crisis. I look forward to your solution.

Thanks and good luck with google i think also google like to keep all the money in the world by him self
I hate google

Hi Goran,
The only data in Keyword Research that comes from Bing is the competition data. As the competition number is a measure of the number of websites that include that keyword, Bing data for this metric is equivalent to Google data.The traffic and Adwords data at this stage is all still Google data.

Guys if Rank Tracker is now using my computer, are the rank results skewed to my browsing history. I've noticed some great jumps in some of my keywords… Not sure if they're real or not.

Hi Adam, Market Samurai uses its own browser and also specifies for personalized search results to be off in the queries, they will not be impacted by your browsing history.

It is surprising to me, although it probably shouldn't, that so many people have brought out their sharp tongues and claws to attack a group of people who have done nothing but be honest with us.
All of us that work online are aware of the issues that Google has caused by all their rapid changes. And if you are not aware, you may need to question whether you should be online or not, but at any rate, those changes are causing chaos on many levels. How can anyone blame the people at NS. They are not Google, They are not making all the chaos, Google is.
But my two cents is that I have had wonderful results using Market Samurai and I have been using it for four years. I have always found the support people to be approachable and willing to find a solution. I Loved it long before the Rank tracker was even instituted. Even if only a few of the modules are fixable, it is still worth what I paid for it. Not to mention the money I have made through my online efforts based on info that I received from MS, has paid for it over and over again. It is almost like MS has paid me.
Thank you for the years of service and thank you for the constant effort on our behalves to continuously improve your product and now thank you for fighting the good fight in our behalf again against the Ogre Google.
I can hardly wait to benefit from your efforts. I always do.

Uy,
Other software vendors charge a fee for their software which includes one years worth of updates… if you with to update your software after one year you buy another years worth of updates…
Could be another renewable income stream option…
Given the vast amount of comments on this blog post hint to the fact that MS is extremely good value for money I think you will come out on top with this type of model.
And as an added benefit for all users more money for you will also mean better opportunities to develop the product even further… which again benefits all users… etc…
Just an idea to an alternative to the monthly subscription…

Eugene and to all Supporters,
I am just like many of you, an MS user since the beginning. In all this time I experieced several MS responses to resolve changes in google algorithms. MS always came clean and was quickly up and running again. This is what I call professionalism.
It is up to us to make sure that a company with this standard is surviving, our continued support would be a “thank you” for a great product.

I know it's probably too early to say, but do you know what the price point is likely to be. We use rank tracker module quite frequently and because of its accuracy.

Keep up the good work, this has come at really bad time for me as I am just starting major niche research.
Anyway, you've probably heard enough moans and groans!
This might be more valuable to you and Market Samurai users:
Would it not make sense that in the SEO Competition module that you have SEOT from Bing as well as Google? Might as well try to optimise for both search engines at the same time, especially if the SEOC is low in Bing.
With all the confusion above (and I am confused, I am still trying to work out what is going on) can you provide a new training video about all the data sources for each component of each module eg, SEOT, SEOTC, etc. This will help a lot for me and probably a lot of users.
Salamat muli.
PS I think you should charge a monthly fee with a discount for Article Samurai users.
PPS Somebody suggested you should survey users on what they want and what they use, I think that is a great idea.
I think you can do it but must keep your focus on Google as from a statistical and scientific view, Bing' 30% market share of searches is way too low to compare with 70%.
Anna H. said:
Hi there ! I am on trial version of MS which expires today. I am very sorry of what happened to MS – I got a few days of MS working as it was and it was great. Now, the data seems irrelevant.
What I find interesting is that other softwares are working fine as ever SeoQuake works, SeoSpy works, SEO Power Suite works, IBP works, Serp Attack works.
So, what is happening at MS ? Because the problem seem to be only on your side and not from Google.
We as customers need the data that Google offers because it dominates the market.
I find the current issues of MS very suspicious.
As a matter of fact I've just received the following e-mail from link-assistant:
“We're getting 100s of worried requests from users so we decided to explain this web rumor.
Rumors of a drastic Google algo change started spreading after another SEO software house officially announced their software stopped working with Google. What Market Samurai told its users is, “Several days ago, Google made some significant technical changes to its services” which made it impossible to work with.
Now hundreds of ex-customers of Market Samurai and our own users write to our support: Is SEO PowerSuite working? Is it safe to buy SEO PowerSuite license now when other tools are failing to work?
The answer is YES, your software is working and will work with all search engines (Google as well, until the end of Google.) We are able to guarantee that SEO PowerSuite is the safest SEO software to invest in.
So – right, SEO PowerSuite keeps working. The thing is, what is proclaimed a Google's technical change doesn't look so and has never been confirmed by anyone outside Market Samurai team. Our team of search engines experts confirms no changes to Google algos – and the speaking evidence for that is the seamlessly working SEO PowerSuite.
No other reasons for Market Samurai's software failure have ever been officially named. However, more realistic reasons were suggested by their former users, assumed by many SEOs on all kind of Internet forums – and never commented on by the Samurai representatives. So the actual reasons for the fail are assumable and lie in a strategic error at the early stage of designing the software architecture. Our experts say, the estimate of fixing such error to restore an SEO tool to a fully working condition is about half a year.
Seeing that now Samurai is planning to switch to Bing instead of Google, we assume the estimate is right.
So let us once again disprove the rumor: Google made no changes and nothing happened to it at all. More to that, whenever changes to Google happen in the future, SEO PoweSuite will keep working seamlessly.
As many know, for 7 years on the market Link-Assistant.Com software has been working reliably. And we can guarantee reliable work of all SEO PowerSuite tools in future, with a team of engineers and analysts monitoring search engines every day.
So if you've ever been choosing between SEO PowerSuite and another software, or if you see your other SEO software is facing problems now or any time later, it's time to make the safest investment and order SEO PowerSuite.
Lubos na bumabati,
Link-Assistant.Com Team
PS Here is the official statement from Viktar Khamianok, the CEO of Link-Assistant.Com:
Every technology is analyzed, criticized and tested before development. We look at hundreds of use cases before making core decisions on software functionality. We understand that we must not, at any moment, put the user at risk. None of our clients can afford being left without working software or without any working feature of the software.
So this is the official confirmation that SEO PowerSuite is not and will not be affected by the ban imposed on other SEO software. You can check its work now yourself. "
What do you have to say in your defense, taking into account that all other SEO software tools are working as ever ?
Too bad, you've lost a customer – MS it really was a great SEO Tool, but Bing services are not good enough from my point of view for a high competitive market.

Hi doon,
I posted Eugene's response here:
One thing I'd really like to clarify from that email is that we're definitely not looking at 6 months to get everything up and running. Everything except Google Rank Tracker and PR data is already returned to Market Samurai. PR will be back very soon. We don't know how long Rank Tracker will take but we're not anticipating it taking that long. Also worth mentioning we're not switching everything to Bing and saying 'to hell with Google rankings who cares', of course Google data is important and we're only using Bing where there are direct equivalents (eg SEOC) not for traffic or Adwords data.
Hope this helps.

Bing? Sigurado ka malubhang? Even if you rank at top 3 positions at Bing you won't even have hundreds of visitors. You seriously saying Bing is gaining market? I'm sorry but all SEOs still work on getting rankings on Google. Bing and Yahoo is always just a side job. You are completely delusional and trying to save your own business from angry customers.
and for those who say you guys hate Google, you can't do anything about it. You can hate apple you want but they will always sell iPad and iPhone like hot cakes. You can hate Google all you want but they will be always the bigger search engine compared to Bing. Unless Bing really overtakes Google as main traffic source for my site, I'm not going to buy MS. It's worthless now.

Hi there, we're still using Google data for all traffic, adwords etc. There is a full list of the areas we are using Bing data here:
We're obviously not suggesting that you should forget about ranking in Google. The areas that we are bringing Bing data in are not ones related to traffic etc so it doesn't impact the usefulness of Market Samurai for SEO for Google.

Message from CEO of SEO power Suite,
Edited by Miriam – link-assistant email removed for readability. Full email and our response here:
Response from Brian Mcfarlane, Why i will stick it out with market Samurai to the end.
As a Market Samurai user for the past 5 years I can honestly say that the team at Market Samurai has done a great job at resolving issues with API's. From a technical standpoint it has nothing to do with algo changes as many have happened over the years and Market Samurai has always found a way to address these issues.
I think using this as a ploy to sell your (SEO PowerSuite. ) services is pretty bad, Market Samurai continues to improve the program and has resolved most of the issues you are addressing here.
All third party software has been recently affected by Google's api changes & the privacy act at Google, If you are telling people you were not affected is because you have a addressed quickly, which is great.
Everyone who has being working as a SEO for many years, know that we cannot rely only on Google data to make informed decisions about SEO.
SEOmoz, Market Samurai, SEM rush, wordtracker, and many others pull data from multiple points and api's. So Market Samurai is shifting to the bing API perhaps to address issues with the existing google api until the issue is either resolved to insure we at least get the primary data we need.
Taking shoots at your competition for how they manage their API's is foolish strategy and will not get you very far….
I tend to rely on multiple sources, and those people you are trying to convince to come over to your solution are being mislead.

I read some of the reply's and felt compelled to weigh-in.
I have been using MS for quite a while (2 years). The tools have supported me in developing Marketing plans & strategies for companies and clients. Its not the only tool I use and I typically spend about $300/month on additional tools to get the intelligence needed to properly run campaigns and have the data and metrics to measure results.
MS was a steal as a one time payment for software that continually gets updated. It is my highest ROI tool that I ever used.
I will continue to use this product as it develops and if they charge for certain components on a monthly basis I will pay.
Eugene – Please get the rank tracking working again and if I have to pay I will gladly do it. I just don't want to start using Raven and then switch back.

Al this has become a mess, the actual condition of the MS platform is awful, im trying to figured out how to use the services right now, the keyword research results are very inaccurate and i don't get how it works now since it is a salad of mixed results from google and bing and we are still using data from the adwords platform as it says when the program is fetching, besides i compared the data provided in the columns with the actual bing data and it all is simply different and inacurate. now it seems you guys are working in another issues leaving the keyword research done as if it where solved but is far enough to be solved.
I market samurai finally doomed and up to disapear. since is nothing as it promises to be.
Now as far as i know google allow up to 100 results for a given fetch and if some of us use proxies why is not possible to sort out another solution more than mix results and provide irrelevant information from bing, that for lot of MS users is not useful.
I dont know about coding at all but i think there must be way to solve all of it. or maybe the core of the system and the build in platform becomes obsolete…

The only service that may require a monthly fee (or perhaps credits – we haven't made any decisions at this stage) is Rank Tracker.

We're also happy to refund Market Samurai if the software is no longer useful to you.
As soon as we have a better idea of how we will be moving forward with Rank Tracker we will let everyone know.
Michael Gordon said:
The value I've received from MS is worth the purchase price many, many times over. In my experience, there are very few companies in *any* industry that are transparent and provide education and support like the team at Market Samurai. I wouldn't even think about leaving it for another option. The Competition module alone is worth the price of the software.
In the meantime, however, I need a fully capable rank tracking solution. Question: Will MS Rank Tracker work to full capability *today* if I choose to pay for a proxy service like Trusted Proxies? If so, this would be a good temporary solution – and arguably a good long term option for both MS and its customers.
Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Tunay na kawili-wili. I know some of what I have to say has been mentioned by others in this LONG thread of comments, but I wanted to chime in.
I make my living with SEO, both for my own businesses and for clients.
In my opinion, MS is a great tool. While I don't use every feature, it's strengths in my mind lie in it's ability to research keywords and apply intelligence through filters to determine which are the most important to go after first. I use MS daily for this.
I also enjoy the grid on the SEO competition tab that allows me to easily see the top 10 competitors and look for opportunities to beat them.
I have never, however, been a heavy user of the Rank Tracker module. The reason: there are much better tools available out there for tracking rank. My preferred tool is Rank Tracker by SEOPowerSuite (I own the Enterprise version). I run it locally on my primary computer and it updates according to schedules I set.
The tool wasn't cheap, but it works well. The reporting functionality is far superior to anything MS offered, and it hasn't given me any trouble with the updates the MS staff has mentioned to the Google algos.
Now, don't get me wrong … I'm NOT trying to knock MS … it's a GREAT tool. I don't regret buying it. It does what I need it to. I also own a subscription to AS and LOVE it as well.
If I were starting in SEO today and could only use one tool, it would be AS because it gives me the keyword research ability I fell in love with as a MS user, and also the syndication abilities which have become critical in my SEO strategy.
So, when MS comes out with a subscription option for the Rank Tracker module, I probably won't use it — I'm happy with SEOPowerSuite's Rank Tracker tool.
I would encourage all of you to stay off the case of the Noble Samurai team — it seems to me that they work their butts off to produce the best tools they can. Their educational materials are second-to-none and their prices are reasonable.

I LOVE MS! I will continue to use it, along with the dozens of other SEO tools to deliver the best value to my clients. I made back my $97 in 1 presentation 10 X over.
BUT, here is an email (unedited) from Link-Assistant.com (Another tool I use, and they just sent this out today)
Edited by Miriam – link-assistant email removed for readability. Full email and our response here:

Let me start by saying I've been using MS now for about 4 years. I have 2 licenses – one came with a subscription to Stompernet. So I've paid twice for MS.
I have always thought that the business model was flawed, I know it was designed to capture leads and have a list you could easily sell to, but those products have been few and far between. Article Samurai is took years to appear and from what I've read has it's own challenges.
So moving to a paid model for one module kinda makes sense – not withstanding the best of intentions to keep it free – well to a one time payment -from the begining.
But today I received an email from linkassitant.com, basically calling Eugnene a liar.
One quote from the email -
“The thing is, what is proclaimed a Google's technical change doesn't look so and has never been confirmed by anyone outside Market Samurai team. Our team of search engines experts confirms no changes to Google algos”
So you have a major competitor calling you out as lying to your users. I understand that this may just be cheap opportunism on their part, nut what is the real truth here?
I'm going to stick by you guys, I'm stubborn that way but I thought you needed to know what your competitors are saying about you out there in marketing land.

I want to offer my support and encouragement to the whole team at NS. I invested in MS at the start and have continued to use it to good use since. It is the most brilliant tool in my arsenal to get ranked for my websites. Your training, support and technical updates are fantastic and if we need to pay a bit to continue the service then so be it. I for one will be happy to do so for the range of services that MS gives you and the advantage it gives you over the competition.

Even considering the loss of some functionality, I consider the referral to your software a positive one. I know I would not have understood as quickly SEO (still learning;)) without Market Samurai…
And for the price I paid ($97) a tremendous value…
Best of luck as you move forward.

“So – right, SEO PowerSuite keeps working. The thing is, what is proclaimed a Google's technical change doesn't look so and has never been confirmed by anyone outside Market Samurai team. Our team of search engines experts confirms no changes to Google algos – and the speaking evidence for that is the seamlessly working SEO Powersuite
No other reasons for Market Samurai's software failure have ever been officially named. However, more realistic reasons were suggested by their former users, assumed by many SEOs on all kind of Internet forums – and never commented on by the Samurai representatives. So the actual reasons for the fail are assumable and lie in a strategic error at the early stage of designing the software architecture. Our experts say, the estimate of fixing such error to restore an SEO tool to a fully working condition is about half a year.”
Guys can you throw some light on those comments, are we playing full a full hand here ?
Also low stress on if there is a fee but like many here, I think we want Google results not Bing or Yahoo results for anything ?
I think more than anything if you do not revert back to Google results your product looses any real street appeal.

Hi Pete. We're not moving wholly to Bing the only data we're switching to Bing for is the data that's directly comparable (SEOC – as it is a measure of the number of pages on the internet with the keyword which is not impacted by the popularity of the search engine).
Eugene' response to that post is available here:
Kaitlyn said:
Bing is rising in popularity and gives as good search results as Google so I don't mind not being able to track my rank in Google. In any case, MS has helped me a lot in past 2 years so I fully support your decision.
Miriam Parkinson said:
There is a lot of confusion about Bing data and where we are using it. To clear this up, this is a full list of the data that we are using Bing for:
Keyword Research:
* SEOC
* SEOTC
* SEOUC
SEO Competition:
* Index Count
* Cache Age
Rank Tracker:
* Ranking data for Bing
The intended changes to the data sources for Keyword Research and SEO Competition have already been made. All traffic and Adwords data is unchanged and is still using Google data.
In terms of concerns about the validity and usefulness of this data – where we are looking at index and competition data this is directly equivalent to the data from Google. While Bing doesn't have the same market share as Google, they are still indexing the same internet. These values are measures of how many sites are out there with those keywords so while the numbers won't be identical, they are equally valid as an indication of competition for a keyword.

Hi guys,
MS is a great tool.
As stated before, simply USE GOOGLE WEBMASTERS TOOLS.
The numbers are a bit different as it gives an average of the ranking positions over a total number of impressions VS MS that gives an exact picture of the ranking at the time the query was made.
I would sincerely recommend the MS team to TOTALLY get rid of the Rank Checker to keep their queries on Google low.
As I understand doing KW research in MS as there are many data sources combined in one big table, there is no reason to check your ranks in MS. You get the same answer (even more accurate) from Google itself via the Webmasters Tools.
I would remove the Rank Checker and add SEOC/SEOTC/SEOUC batches of 25 queries (instead of clicking one link to get 1 result, I would implement clicking on 1 link and getting 25 results).
This would be way more helping than the Rank Tracker.
Bumabati,
John J.

Hi, I hope someone from Market Samurai reads this: It is OK to charge for stuff. You guys should charge a monthly fee so that you can continue to make quality products. I'm grateful for the times that I was able to use your software for a one-time fee. I wish you many successes because I have bought both market samurai and article samurai. You should have a “donate” button also somewhere on this page.

Google continues to confound me with their exceptional lack of concern, Market Samurai continues to be forthright. For the cost of less than one months licensing of a competitors product, Market Samurai keeps us updated for life. Additional money to keep an A+ company like this in business is to all of our advantage. Google on the other hand provides no customer support regardless of how many thousands of advertising dollars spent with them. They have cancelled my accounts with them for no reason, and when I have tried to have open communication with them they respond with form letters.

why not implement 2 modules for the rank checker?
A paid module which could be “Pay Per Search” (or a couple of searches) (or even per keyword) or a prepaid monthly submission, and a free one which uses our computer in tracking rank, just put into the script that the search query must always be depersonalized for “accuracy”.
Josh said:
How come that the online rank tracker like rank ranger, raven, zoomrank etc. are working perfectly and market samurai doesn't?
What is the difference?
Chuck said:
While I sincerely appreciate the upfront manner in which you have addressed these issues, I do have a concern I wish to voice.
You have switched over to Bing to provide certain data. Your explanation of its use in SEOC, SEOTC and SEOUC makes some sense, so for now at least I am comfortable with that.
However, the value of the use of Bing to report Indexed Pages pales in importance next to the use of Google for the same data. I am most interested in ranking for Google. That means that I need to see the ebb and flow of the indexed pages that Google is reporting. Honestly, Bing is not important to me for this metric.
Will you be reinstating the use of Google to report indexed pages?
Thanks again for the upfront way you have handled this. It is this kind of customer focus that will keep your company successful!

Monthly fee on a program with a “one time fee”
Yey! Im so happy. I had a hard time getting the money to buy this program in the first place, and now you slap this in my face. Mahirap na paniwalaan!
Jan said:
Start charging monthly fee for the tracker today, but get it working like before asap.
And if you can't afford MS then it is not really for you and you should concentrate on your 9-5 job!
Theo said:
I have always backed MS and the Team.
Like others i got a good deal when i purchased
a few years ago.
But because of recent “problems” with MS iv'e
had to use “other” tools to keep up.
I am wondering why other tools don't seem to be affected by the latest Google updates when it comes to Rank Tracking etc?
Is it true that MS has an inherent coding problem? Ergo the constant scrambling to fix problems?
Is the huge percentage of “Free Users” causing a problem?
Are the accusations leveled by SEO Powersuite CEO true?
I would also like to add my voice to the anti-Bing choir, Google is where the money is, i am not interested in any results from Bing (Sorry)…

I think if MS was to allow more use of our own Proxies it would be a better direction! I've never liked the fact MS used your own server and always expect it would be a “PAIN POINT” at some point or another!
Anytime you use a centralized service Google is going to ban it eventually or want to charge for it. Just as BitTorrent is successful because it spreads out the network to local clients.
Allow us more integration with Proxies and such and your problem goes away!
Thanks for letting us know!
