Are you like me and struggle with keyword research? Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. Most of what I find are just not good enough.
I always believed that Google’s keyword tool gave highly accurate results. Why wouldn’t I? Big company like that shouldn’t be giving false figures. Well, that’s not always the case.
The data returned isn’t accurate. It would have been correct at some point though. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.
I was going for a keyword that had roughly five thousand competing pages. I felt I could do well with that one. I started churning out articles by the bucket load.
Not long after I saw that there were now almost nine thousand competing sites. I could hardly believe that. Had there been some mistake? I was relieved to see that an awful lot of these competitors were showing my articles.
I would have definitely avoided this key phrase had I saw 9000 competing web pages. I was competing with myself as my article was on the majority of these new sites. Not a bad situation to be in 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. Hopefully I could get some golden keywords delivered to my inbox every day. I calculated the cost of these services and concluded that they were value for money.
I decided to give Travis Sago’s Instacash service a try. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. Bum marketing is something I really like.
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.
Outsourcing, outsourcing, outsourcing. Seems to be all you hear from the gurus of internet marketing. And what I’m trying here is simply that. 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 let you know how I did that on my site
