The Market Samurai blog has LOTS of videos on teaching you how to properly use it. I’ve been using it for a while, and I have created my own method of using it and analyzing.
I’m not saying this is the only way to look at it because the more you use it, the more your analyzing will evolve thus you will have your own method of research.
Anyways, this is how I use Market Samurai right now.
Step 1. Set The Region You Want To Market To

Generally, setting this to United States will be a good starting point. Setting this to global will just bloat up the numbers and you won’t really have control on the search numbers.
Input your root keyword so we can start looking for something to promote/market. For this example, let’s go with Juicers as I am very thirsty right now for some fresh orange juice.
Step 2. Set Phrase Length to 2 words minimum

The reason? If you used 1 then you will get words like Orange, Grapes, Juice and other words related to it. You won’t really be able to do much with the word orange. You won’t know what people want, want to buy and so on. So picking 2 word phrases will be your best bet.
Step 3. Generate Keywords

Click Analyze Keywords. Make sure OCI, AWV, SEOV are checked aside from the default ones.
Step 5. The First Glance (This is not a step….really….just went screenshot happy.)

As you can see, this is a pretty good market. You can see lots of searches and this is just for the broad match. What we need though is to know how much each keyword phrase is searched daily when people type the EXACT phrase on the search engines so we…….
Step 6. Set To Exact

Of course, everything will go down but the good thing here is you will see the golden keywords. So for this screenshot, IF you ranked number one for the phrase Jack lalane juicer, then you will get around 398 visitors daily. Around 12000 monthly EXCLUDING the long tails. Of course this is all assumption, it could be even higher plus the long tail keywords.
Step 7. Pick an Attractive Keyword and Analyze

Now let’s say you’ve chosen the keyword”Jack lalanne juicer”
Competition is relatively small, around 48k and 36k.
Searches are obviously good.
OCI, SEOV and AwV are good enough. (OCI is an algo in which Microsoft determines commerciability (is this a word? LOL) of a word. In short, if someone is likely to purchase something.Adwords value means people are bidding on it, which USUALLY means there are buyers that’s why they are wasting money on it.
Step 8. Click the Key For Your Selected Keywords

Now you will see a little “key” icon beside the keyword. Click that and a tab will pop out on top. Click that tab.
Step 9. Analyze the Competition

Lots of dark gray cells which means it’s hard to beat in that area. How can you beat youtube and amazon’s number of indexed pages right? But if you look at it as a whole, it’s not really scary.
– There’s amazon. You know you can sell something, and the product has a good price so commissions will be good
– With amazon there, you know you can have a spot inside the top 10 already
– Domain age is the only negative here. I suggest buying an old domain somehow related to this. There’s a module in Market samurai to do that as well.
– There’s youtube so you know you can rank videos as well.
– The backlinks are just a few. 115? Are you kidding me? Of course we don’t need to mind the 1730 links of the official website.
– Internal links aren’t that many as well
– Most are not optimized for the keyword
You can just buy the domain with the keyword as the domain name. You’d probably get away with it!
Step 10. Here’s Another Keyword

As you can see, it’s not that hard as well! But did you notice anything? Yup, SOMEONE BOUGHT THE KEYWORD AND PUT IT IN THEIR DOMAIN!
Now that’s a good way to rank faster!
Step 11. Make Things Easier Now

Let’s do a filter. I want a maximum of 150000 SEOC so I can see clearer. I did not set it earlier because I wanted to see first how many long tails there are. Simply because if there are lots of long tails (phrases that are 4 words and above) then this is really a good niche.
Step 12. Ooh I didn’t notice this before

Anyways, this is another good keyword as long as you can find something to sell. Someone has bought the domain and is using it (look at number 3) and monetizing it with Adsense.
You have some keywords to start with now Image may be NSFW.
