I was wondering if this was some sort of windup ….

did William H. really think that the info meant he would
earn that money ????? Nahhh, surely not.

And as I ferret thru various google search returns I can’t
help but notice the confusion and disparity in understanding
of the various market samurai column headings and information
interpretation.

For Noble Samurai and the software itself is this is an indication
that their training videos haven’t got the information across ?
Or should we be thinking on the lines that all
publicity is good publicity.

Anyone reading this who has Market Samurai and not yet signed up to be an affiliate, just go here: http://www.noblesamurai.com/blog/market-samurai/market-samurai-affiliate-program-1810

I’m no spring chick myself Viv, and I think you’ll find that internet marketing is an area where it doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 90, anyone who provides good content and gets people to read it can do well. Hooray!

Very nice to meet you too ThatManViv!

At 62, I’m starting late getting into IM but a guy from another
forum mentioned Market Samurai to me and I thought I would
take a look. Four days later I had watched all the market samurai
support videos and made notes on all of them and realised I had
discovered my first affiliate product. Before dollar signs appear
in my eyes tho I need to learn how to use it. I like the idea that
I’ve bought something that when I’ve mastered it will earn me
a living. And if my site has a feel as good as this I’ll be happy.
Nice to meet you.

It’s good to break it down and showcase some of the inner pieces.

“SEOV is the total maximum value of traffic (per day) that you could receive by targeting this keyword through SEO, rather than Adwords”

From

http://www.noblesamurai.com/blog/keyword-research/keyword-search-tool-1032

However, Noble Samurai’s “The Niche Marketing Black Book” has the following:

“where do you find Visitor Values and Traffic Level data to help us work out the potential profits in a market?”

Noble Samurai have devised the formula

“Traffic (x Multiplied by) Value per Visitor (= Equals) TOTAL MARKET VALUE
This tells us the total monthly value of visitors searching
for a particular keyword (or keywords) in a market” (page 17)

You could get those customers using Adwords yes, and as you point out that is the way that SEOV is calculated.

If you were attracting the maximum possible traffic and conversions you would still be aiming for “the potential profits in a market” (and you could choose to use a combination of Adwords and sales through your site – mea culpa I should have pointed this up in the post).

When The Niche Marketing Black Book refers to “Market Value” it goes on to say:

“How big is the portion you’re likely to capture?
Well that all depends…
• It depends on what you price your product for;
• It depends on the competition in your market;
• It depends on your visitor-to-sales conversion rates;
• It depends on how many competitors exist in the market;
• It depends on how easily you can achieve high rankings;” (page 19)

So the rankings are important, ergo SEOV is their best estimate of the market value whatever way you earn it – whether through a site or through adwords or through a combination. I should have pointed this out in the post.

SEOV is basically the “total value of traffic that a web-site that ranked #1 for a keyword in Google. Its value is as an indicator of the value of a keyword market” (from http://www.marketsamurai.com/glossary.php ) Note that the definition is *not* the total value of traffic for an *advertiser* that ranked #1 for a keyword in Google.

It’s actually an area that I’d like clarification on, and hope I’ll get some from the Noble Samurai team. Then I’ll add to the post.

Meanwhile, I’ll take the knocks & see if I can roll with the punches

It just keeps getting better and better!

The additional training material that they deliver coupled with the continuous development kicks royal hiney.

The Noble Samarai folks are awesome.

I already submitted a ticket to be an affiliate. Can’t wait.

What a really informative article. )
