I’m a bit slow at putting up this post as the challenge started on August 1st (my apologies) but better late than never I hope. I’ve been following along with the Thirty Day Challenge (30DC) and found some good information there. It’s aimed at complete newbies to internet marketing (IM) to take you through all the steps to get a web site online and earning (at least $1 in 30 days)
This is the second year that the Thirty Day Challenge has been online and it seems to be successful. Everything the team uses is free (at least for the 30 days) although they do have a follow up course that costs. There is no hard marketing to buy it however, which I like, I hate in-your-face marketing techniques! Obviously they are hoping that you like the 30 day information so much you will subscribe to the advanced marketing courses. I’m a bit too busy right now to actually go through all the steps of the Thirty Day Challenge and a lot of the information is stuff I’m already doing for my BANS and keyword sniping sites, but there’s a some new stuff for me to learn in there.
One of the free tool (40 day free trial) is Market Samura (MS), a tool to find niche keywords. It runs on the Adobe Air Platform (they don’t support linux - well a previous version did but apparently Market Samurai doesn’t run correctly on this version) so I’ve installed it on Windows in a virtual machine. It is very slow running this way and was pretty slow on the Windows computer at work and I haven’t had a lot of time to test it yet. I’ll post details of how well it works later but from the forum at 30DC it seems to be very popular. You can do the same keyword research yourself using various free online resources but the program pulls them all together in one place.
One of the members of 30DC has charted his progress and included lots of information about MS at Not Coding

Thank u so much for sharing this with us!
30 day challenge, yeah, I heard about that last year…interesting, thanks for sharing the info!
So what is your review of the Market Samura tool? I can’t seem to find the downloadable version. Have a link to follow to the tool?
SEO Consultant - If you log into thirty day challenge theres a link there to download Market Samurai. They send you an address for the download. I don’t think you can get the trial version without registering with 30 day challenge.
Useful article. Keep the good work you are doing!
Thanks Janet. I managed to download the trial version. Cheers. I will try out and share with you my conclusion of the tool.

Thirty Day Challenge for some good information for complete newbies or even more experienced IM’s.
Great article. Thirty day Challenge is really interesting. Thank you for sharing.
It appears that Google has been blocking automated queries and rank checking from external parties. Most SEO software and applications aren’t working for Google. More details here : Google Blocks Automated Rank Checking

Hi Singapore SEO Consultant -
Thanks for the info. That is a pain - the online rank checkers I’ve been using haven’t been working although one I got from wintzell.net is still working. It’s really important to be able to check ranking easily - I really don’t fancy trawling through results manually.
I have been manually searching through the search results for the past few days. It is really a tedious process. Okay i will try the wintzell.net
Wow! that is really cool!. Thank you for sharing a very useful info.
OK forget the last post - the keyword ranking tool I was using stopped working yesterday! This is a real nuisance. I rely on finding the rank to plan my next strategy!
The ranking tool from wintzell.net seems to be working again. At least it has been all day today. No idea what’s going on!
I don’t that that challenge is a good idea. It’s just a marketing. Nothing else. As for that Samurai software - I have tried it and it is running TOO SLOW from my point of view. To slow to pay for it and use.
Oh really? I think Samurai software is not that slow. I used it and never had any trouble using it.
It is really a tedious process. Okay i will try the wintzell.net
Great article. Thirty day Challenge is really interesting.
too late. Do you know if they constatly organize this challenges so I may have a second chance? please let me know. Thanks
Outdoor Furniture: They organise a challenge every year but all the info on the site will stay there until next year so you can work through it any time
seo-manager: I’m also finding Market Samurai a bit slow but, as I said, I’m using it on a vitual machine on Linux so I thought that may be why.
I was going to ask about next challenge but you already give more info. Thanks Janet.
Thanks for the tip off about this site - I’ll check it out for a read
Really great,imagine with in 30 days. Hope you have a next challenge to come. But thanks for sharing this with us and very useful information. Good luck!
Now, can we expect that the ones finding lots of information would share that, making public their findings?
Wishing that you can do more of this 30 day challenges more frequently.
That gives a extra help information for us.., 30days is long enough for them to use it.
