Keyword Research Services – Steer Clear Until You’ve Read This
If you aren’t a guru then you may (like me) find keyword research difficult. Actually, it’s not a problem finding them. Most of what I find are just not good enough.
I always believed that Google’s keyword tool gave highly accurate results. I mean, they wouldn’t be telling fibs about their data, would they? Turns out they do and they don’t.
The data returned isn’t accurate. It would have been correct at some point though. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.
I homed in on a key phrase with roughly 5000 competing websites. I was pretty sure I could get a good result with that keyword. So I set out putting articles out. Lots of articles.
It didn’t take long to notice there were now over 9000 competing sites. I could hardly believe that. Had there been some mistake? It turned out that my articles were showing on these sites and ranking for the keyword.
My point being is that I’d have swerved this keyword if I had seen nine thousand competitors. As a lot of them were mine (or had my article on) I was competing against my self most of the time. A great result in the end for that key phrase.
Anyway, I decided to give a keyword research service a try as I couldn’t count on getting lucky every time. 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.
I decided to give Travis Sago’s Instacash service a try. After all, he’s the king of the bum marketers. Bum marketing is something I really like.
If I can get a keyword or two in my in box each day then that saves me valuable time. At least a two hour saving. Two hours or so to me is quite valuable. 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. I see this as an outsourcing project. Outsourcing my keyword research to someone else.
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 know how I did that on my site
