Keyword Research Services - Worth It Or Not?
If you aren’t a guru then you may (like me) find keyword research difficult. Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. I have a problem finding good ones.
When I used Google’s keyword tool I trusted the results 100%. Why wouldn’t I? Big company like that shouldn’t be giving false figures. Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.
The keyword data you see will be out of date and wrong. However it would have been when they collated it. I accidentally discovered the answer to that puzzle.
I decided to go for a keyword with about 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.
It didn’t take long to notice there were now over 9000 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.
What I’m saying is that I would have left it alone had I saw over 9000 competing sites. As a lot of them were mine (or had my article on) I was competing against my self most of the time. A good result all round in my opinion.
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 had figured that the daily cost against how much work I would save is value for my money.
I chose to give Travis Sago’s Instacash keyword research service a go. Travis being numero uno in the bum marketing world. 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.
All the big marketers bang on about outsourcing. I reckon there’s not much difference here. 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 show you how I did that at my site.
