My Official UNF Review
As many of you know I develop tons of small content farms so I depend on this type of keyword & niche finding tool more than any other. This does JOB #1 in my industry. I've used MicroNiche Finder the most for this pursuit before now, and I have experience with many other tools including Keyword Elite, Wordtracker, Market Samurai and some other made-for-IM products.
UNF excells beyond MNF and all the others in three areas:
1. Fantastic Proxy and Captcha support, which both equal more power to aid our searches.
2. Far better sorting and filtering to help us find exactly what we're looking for each and every time. This additionally saves us money and time.
3. Updating. UNF updates automatically and quickly, unlike the desktop-based competition that does this important task the hard way, making you download files manually to your desktop and install from there. (And you do want a desktop-based solution if you care about privacy and speed.)
As for every other feature, I felt it was on par but slightly cleaner & snappier than MNF so I'll let someone else talk about those points. (Although the Difficulty score was obviously smarter than MNF's too.) For this review I'm going indepth on just these points:
Proxies:
Now you're playing with Power! Proxies are used to keep google from banning your sorry IP address when making larger numbers (Over a couple of hundred, I'd say) of KW analyzsation requests per day. (Step 2, not the initial KW scrape from Adwords.)
Although another service out there comes with the ability to use proxies, they want you to put in 1 proxy at a time, which means you can't use many for large batches, and of course you can't use public proxies which go up and down often.
With UNF, you can use any number of them, test them right there in the software, and even import public proxies! I was floored when I saw clyde had added support for this:
It continually tests these and only uses working proxies at the moment on your list! And if you have a software like ProxyFinder that continually gives you new lists of public proxies, then all you have to do is click that import button 1 time when you need it to re-import the latest version of your list. Highly impressive.
Captchas:
I'm used to captcha support in many other tools these days, even bots I make myself, but this is the first KW tool that gives me full captcha-solving support and even a nice interface for it which shows credit remaining inside your software:
Of course you can do it manually too, for those too cheap to pay the ~$7 every 5,000 or so solves. (You know, peasants.)
Sorting:
The initial search and pull of the keywords produces a good amount of data you can sort with right off the bat,
and from this stage you can also click on any keyword to expand that keywords' longer-tailed terms into this batch! (Remind anyone of the "Dig" button from Wordtracker?)
Here's a screenshot of it with initial results: (Yep, I Outed my new niche, yo!)
Then you can sort it any way you want, select the ones you care about in groups or cherry pick, and then hit the Analyze button: (Proxies very useful for this step!)
Finally, after any more grouping or cherry picking, you get to search the registrars for EMDs:
This sorting and overall process flow simply rules. No one does it this smoothly.
Filtering:
Finally, I love the advanced filtering ability that is lacking in all other software for this purpose. I know it doesn't sound like much, but when you filter a list of keywords (by any column of your choice) you won't have to waste nearly as many queries going from step to step. That's more time and money for you:
Obviously, if I wanted to compete with Wickedfire I would register the domain gaywebmaster.org right now. It may be hard to compete but hey, at least I'd have the EMD bonus.
So my final rating:
10/10. I'm extremely happy with UNF and plan to use it on
all of my future websites.
