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.
When I used Google’s keyword tool I trusted the results 100%. I had no reason to doubt the leading player’s figures. Well, that’s not always the case.
The data returned isn’t accurate. But it probably was at the time they put it together. The answer to this particular enigma came to me almost accidentally.
I went for a key phrase with around 5,000 pages competing against it. Great I thought, I can nail that. So I set out putting articles out. Lots of articles.
Not long after I saw that there were now almost nine thousand competing sites. My heart sank, I thought my task was gonna be twice as hard now. As it happens most of these extra results were my articles on these different sites.
My point being is that I’d have swerved this keyword if I had seen nine thousand competitors. I was competing with myself as my article was on the majority of these new sites. A great result in the end for that key phrase.
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. Getting a daily list of quality keywords sent is something that appeals to me. I calculated the cost of these services and concluded that they were value for money.
Of the keyword research services on offer I opted to try Travis Sago’s Instacash. Let’s face it, Travis is THE bum marketer. Bum marketing only costs my time so it’s my kind of marketing.
One or two good quality keywords delivered each day could save me hours of time. Two hours or so to me is quite valuable. For what the service costs each day against my 2 hours means I’m getting huge value.
I get a lot of emails from gurus banging on about outsourcing. I see this as an outsourcing project. I’m simply outsourcing the job to a keyword research service.
You can find out just how the trial went over at my site. I said earlier about how I got loads of articles published for my chosen keyword. I’ll show you how I did that at my site.
