Chances are you struggle (like I do) with finding good keywords. I can find keywords all day long. Most of what I find are just not good enough.
When I used Google’s keyword tool I trusted the results 100%. A big company like that wouldn’t give false results, would they? Turns out they do and they don’t.
What you see (the data) is not what you get. At the time it was put together it will have been perfectly correct. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.
I decided to go for a keyword with about five thousand competing pages. I was pretty sure I could get a good result with that keyword. 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. It turned out that my articles were showing on these sites and ranking for the keyword.
What I’m saying is that I would have left it alone had I saw over 9000 competing sites. An awful lot of these new sites were showing my article, thus I was my own competitor. A nice situation to be in!
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. I had figured that the daily cost against how much work I would save is value for my money.
Travis Sago was offering a service which I decided to try. After all, he’s the king of the bum marketers. Bum (article) marketing is something I enjoy as it’s almost free.
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. An hour or two of my time is highly valuable to me when all I have is time. If I weigh the cost each day against my two hours work it clearly becomes value for money.
I get a lot of emails from gurus banging on about outsourcing. And what I’m trying here is simply that. 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. I also mentioned earlier how I got thousands of articles on web pages all over the net. I’ll explain how I did that on my site.
