I think for the person that hadnt LEARNED with the MS, the choice between the two would be the Micro Niche Finder. For ease of use when it comes to just finding the niches, although I prefer the Market Sam for the other utilities it comes with, like help with finding links from competition sites in that niche…..

That’s why I use MNF. I still use MS for the SEO data.

Dunno about your PR2. If it’s BS then it will go away. I’ve had sites/pages like that too that had a mystery PR but it ended up with a zero.

I had a play with the demo version of MS but preferred MNF. For simplicity and speed it rules. Thought about getting both but I already spend too much time researching so don’t need any more excuses to dither about.

Get a green one, get exact domain, do intitle and inurl and then get it done is my motto.

I tell a lie. I do a bit of extra research using the free version of Traffic Travis which lists the top 20 sites and how well they’re optimized with the main on page seo tags.

PR be damned, I’ve just noticed I’ve got a PR2 site in the stupid relationship niche that I’ve done bugger all to other than publish about 20 unique articles and it earns a grand total of nuthin’ and doesn’t even rank for it’s target keyword term. The only traffic it get’s is loser back link spammers posting such insightful comments such as “nice blog. thanks.” Backlinks is where it’s at but how the hell did it get PR2.

I think you should Craig. If nothing else, it is much faster than MS in my opinion.

Jeff: Market Samurai has a language/region selector much the same as Google’s keyword tool (which of course is where the data comes from anyway…).

I bought both products but never really got into MNF. It’s probably just because I bought MS about a year before though, so that’s the one I’m used to.

After reading this review I’m thinking I should maybe dust off MNF; it sounds like it might get through the initial keyword ‘pruning’ faster than MS.

It’s always good to read a candid review on these two products.

Micro Niche Finder is definitely easier to use out of the box.

The one thing that I didn’t notice on Market Samurai was whether it was possible to acquire both local and global searches.

I prefer local but some of my customers insist on being able to import both into my micro niche tracker program.

Splork Great Review, Discusson Thread and information. I found you by accident, ok by Daddy Google as I was looking for a MNF vs MS Honest Non B.S. evaluation.

You and several commentors on this post highlight some absolutely great pros and cons.

And maybe the best of all was reinforcing some of the themes related to what’s really important when creating a site in a Niche.

Anyway, thank you all.

Oh, and I will probably go with MNF yet better understanding it’s SOC weakness.

I haven’t bothered with the pingbacks so I really can’t say for certain if it works or not. In theory it sounds fine. I’d suggest you just run some tests and see if it works for you. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
