Are you like me and struggle with keyword research? Actually, it’s not a problem finding them. The problem is though that most are next to useless, or at least seem to be.
When I used Google’s keyword tool I trusted the results 100%. I had no reason to doubt the leading player’s figures. Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.
The data returned isn’t accurate. It would have been correct at some point though. I stumbled across the solution to this particular conundrum.
I was going for a keyword that had roughly five thousand competing pages. I felt I could do well with that one. So I set out putting articles out. Lots of articles.
Not long after I saw that there were now almost nine thousand competing sites. I could hardly believe that. Had there been some mistake? As it happens most of these extra results were my articles on these different sites.
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. A win win situation if you ask me.
I knew I wasn’t going to get lucky all the time so I decided to try a keyword research service. Hopefully I could get some golden keywords delivered to my inbox every day. I calculated the cost against the time it would take me and it seemed a value for money concept.
Of the keyword research services on offer I opted to try Travis Sago’s Instacash. Let’s face it, Travis is THE bum marketer. And bum marketing really appeals to me.
One or two good quality keywords delivered each day could save me hours of time. An hour or two of my time is highly valuable to me when all I have is time. 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. And what I’m trying here is simply that. I’m simply outsourcing the job to a keyword research service.
If you’re interested in how the trial of the Instacash service went then head on over to my web site. I mentioned earlier about getting thousands of articles published for a good keyword. I’ll let you into that little secret on my site.
