Keyword Research Services – Great Idea Or Non Starter?
Are you like me and struggle with keyword research? I can find keywords all day long. The problem is though that most are next to useless, or at least seem to be.
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. Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.
The data returned isn’t accurate. It would have been correct at some point though. I accidentally discovered the answer to that puzzle.
I was going for a keyword that had roughly five thousand competing pages. I was feeling confident enough to rank well with this one. I started banging articles out left right and centre. Hundreds in fact.
Not long after I saw that there were now almost nine thousand competing sites. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I started to think thinks weren’t going to be easy as I thought. Turned out though that an awful lot of the extra competing pages had my articles on them!
My point being is that I’d have swerved this keyword if I had seen nine thousand competitors. Turns out I was competing mostly against myself as my article was the cause of these sites ranking. A nice situation to be in!
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 liked the idea of good keywords being delivered to me every day. 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. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. Bum marketing is something I really like.
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. If I put the time saved up against the daily cost it shows clearly there’s value to be had.
I get a lot of emails from gurus banging on about outsourcing. I see this as an outsourcing project. Outsourcing my keyword research to someone else.
If you want to hear about my trial of the Instacash service get yourself over to my website. 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.
