If you aren’t a guru then you may (like me) find keyword research difficult. Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. Most of what I find are just not good enough.
When I used Google’s keyword tool I trusted the results 100%. I mean, they wouldn’t be telling fibs about their data, would they? Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.
What you see (the data) is not what you get. 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.
Pretty soon I noticed over 9000 competitors. I was shocked at this huge difference. Looked like it was going to be hard work. I was relieved to see that an awful lot of these competitors were showing my articles.
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. As a lot of them were mine (or had my article on) I was competing against my self most of the time. 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. 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.
Of the keyword research services on offer I opted to try Travis Sago’s Instacash. After all, he’s the king of the bum marketers. 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. Two hours or so to me is quite valuable. Put that couples hours saved against the daily cost and it adds up to value.
I get a lot of emails from gurus banging on about outsourcing. I reckon there’s not much difference here. I’m giving my keyword research to someone else to do. That’s outsourcing.
Do you wanna know how it went with the Instacash service? Get on over to my website and I’ll tell you. I mentioned earlier about getting thousands of articles published for a good keyword. I’ll let you into that little secret on my site.
