Watch out, Market Samurai, there’s a new kid on the block, its name is SERP Attacks. These guys must have done something right, because many Market Samurai owners have already downloaded their Free and PRO ($47, introductory price) copy of this brand new KW and back link tool developed by a Philippine team. Being a new product, SERP Attacks is updated frequently, and it works with the recent updates in the Google search engine as well.

What exactly is SERP Attacks?

Basically, SERP Attacks is a blistering fast site backlink explorer, KW research tool and overall a user friendly, powerful toolbox for drilling down into the best and most profitable niches, be it you dabble in Adsense, Amazon affiliate websites, domain flipping, or what have you. SERP Attacks is still a bit rough on the edges, but clearly shows signs of potential, if the developer does everything right. Here’s a quick glance at what you can do with this software out of the box:

The good stuff about SERP Attacks

Being a regular Market Samurai user I was awestruck by the sheer speed at which SERP Attacks operates, even in this early version (1.2.35). When loading the software for the first time I clicked OK to let it update itself, and few seconds later a neatly organized main window opened on my screen.

The user friendly interface makes it easy to type in a web domain for a backlink check, and SERP Attacks went to work immediately: in a matter of seconds it listed the top 20 domains based on my KW, complete with their external backlinks, site links and PR.

Below the results a short text in bold confirmed the KW to have a Difficulty Rating of “Moderately Easy”. All of this information is neatly arranged on one page for an easy overview at a quick glance. Note: on the screenshot I had just ran a search on the extremely competitive KW “dog training”.

A brief listing of what SERP Attacks can do for you:

• Helps you drill down into profitable and realistic niches
• Localized search competition analysis
• Supports Yahoo!, Altavista, Google, Bing and Ask (W.I.P.)
• Shows future trends for your keywords
• Helps you find good domain names
• Use it to find good affiliate products at ClickBank and Amazon
• See your site rank from different locations and in different SE
• Built-in back link spy lets you easily reveal your competitors BL
• Easily analyze how your keyword is doing in the SERP
• Analyzes your website for possible SEO improvements
• And more

That is an impressive list of features for such affordable product, although bear in mind that the price for the paid version will increase from the current $47 at some point, as it is still in development and the team is currently running a heavy discount to get it out on the market. I am guessing it will land at $97, which will still give competitors such as Market Samurai, Traffic Travis and others a run for the money.

SERP Attacks still needs improvements and polishing, but other than minor snags, which is to be expected in an early version, I am impressed by how well it runs. Some reviewers are a little reluctant in regard to how Google Adwords works in conjunction with this software; the user must type in his/her Adwords login data in order to take full advantage of Adwords from within SERP Attacks. On the other hand, if this is an issue at all, simply create a new, free Google Adwords account for this purpose.

This is my initial impression with the SERP Attacks software. It is fast, offers a nice range of tools, and developed by the same team who made Tweet Attacks, they seem to know pretty well what they are doing.

Back to the title question: is SERP Attacks better than Market Samurai? The only answer I can give at this point, is that you should download both (Market Samurai is available as a Free Trial here) and see for yourself. Market Samurai has been out for years, whereas SERP Attacks is a (pretty awesome) newbie, one that might give the guys at Noble Samurai a run for their money eventually. The PRO version of SERP Attacks is temporarily lowered to an introductory price $47 and comes with a 7 day full satisfaction guarantee.
