If you aren’t a guru then you may (like me) find keyword research difficult. Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. My problem is finding good keywords.
I thought the data from Google’s keyword tool was always bang on. I had no reason to doubt the leading player’s figures. Well, that’s not always the case.
Any data you get isn’t accurate. But it probably was at the time they put it together. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.
I was going for a keyword that had roughly five thousand competing pages. Great I thought, I can nail that. I started churning out articles by the bucket load.
Not long after I saw that there were now almost nine thousand competing sites. I was shocked at this huge difference. Looked like it was going to be hard work. It turned out that my articles were showing on these sites and ranking for the keyword.
The point I’m trying to get across is that had I looked at the keyword with 9000 competitors, I would have left it alone. A lot of these sites were ranking with my article so I had a lot of competition but most of it was my own articles. A win win situation if you ask me.
I got lucky on that keyword but I suspected I may not get lucky again so I made the decision to try out a keyword research service. I was looking to get some decent keywords delivered on a daily basis. Balancing cost against time taken (by me) seemed to prove it could be a valuable asset.
I decided to give Travis Sago’s Instacash service a try. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. And bum marketing really appeals to me.
It takes me an hour or two to come up with a couple of decent keywords. Getting them delivered is a huge help. When all I have is time then two hours saved can be huge to me. If I put the time saved up against the daily cost it shows clearly there’s value to be had.
All the big marketers bang on about outsourcing. I see this as an outsourcing project. Outsourcing my keyword research to someone else.
If you’re interested in how the trial of the Instacash service went then head on over to my web site. Earlier I mentioned that I ended up with thousands of articles on websites for a certain keyword. I’ll show you how I did that at my site.
