Market Samurai helps to deliver top rankings on valuable keywords, faster than ever thought possible.
Here’s how Market Samurai does it:
- Complete In-Depth SEO Analysis, at a single glance – showing you all of the key SEO factors that affect search engine rankings. Lots of Green means “an easy market”. Lots of Yellow means “potential rankings, but it will take some work”. Lots of Red means “Danger – stay away, or lose your shirt trying to get anywhere!”
- Watch as Profitable “Search Engine Gaps” unfold before your very eyes – data used inside Market Samurai is retrieved in real-time, at your command – so that you can literally watch while Market Samurai does all the hard work and shows you (in 3 colours) high, medium and low levels of competition.
- Analyze the Quality of your competition’s top 1000 backlinks – Don’t make the mistake most SEO Experts make – just because your competitors have 500 backlinks, it doesn’t mean rankings are impossible. By analyzing the quality of backlinks (based on PageRank), you can uncover competitors who are “faking it” – using lots of cheap, low quality backlinks – get some high-quality backlinks and outrank them easily!
- Backlink Anchor Text Analysis - Everyone knows that you get a much bigger search engine ranking boost if you use your main keyword as the link text (anchor text) for backlinks to your site. So analyze the link text for your competitors top 1,000 backlinks (an impossible task without Market Samurai), see how shakey their ranking foundations are, and then use this intelligence to shake them down and take their search engine rankings!
- And much, much more! – again, we’re barely scratching the surface here.

This module is by the most useful feature of Market Samurai in my books. In a nutshell the SEO competition module gives you a dashboard of SEO metrics that can help you judge whether a particular keyword is easy low-hanging fruit to gain rankings for, or is ultra-competitive. One very neat feature that Market Samurai now offers is the ability to do anchor-text analysis on any top ranking competitor’s inbound links, in order to find common link hubs or link targets.
Market Samurai’s SEO Competition Module
As you can see from the above screenshot, Market Samurai evaluates many meaningful SEO metrics and orders them by a colour coded difficulty chart where:
- Red = Difficult / Highly Competitive
- Yellow = Average Competition
- Green = Low Competition
Factors evaluated include:
Off Page SEO Factors:
- Domain Age
- Page Rank
- Google Index Count
- Page Level Backlinks
- Domain Level Backlinks
- Government/EDU Backlinks
- DMOZ Inclusion
- Yahoo Directory Inclusion
On Page SEO Factors:
- Keyword in Title
- Keyword in URL
- Keyword in Description
- Keyword in Header
- Google Cache Age
Competitor Inbound Anchor Text Analysis
As I mentioned before, it’s also extremely easy to figure out what anchor text a competitor has using for their link building activities, and in the process find common link targets for you to build your links. Along side link analysis information, you can also dive into Google Trends, WhoIS, and QuantCast information for the competitor being evaluated.
In fact you can even order your backlinks by a specific anchor text and in descending order of PR per back link page, thereby saving ton’s of time and prioritizing your link building activities.
