Keyword Research Services – A Godsend Or A Rip Off?
If you aren’t a guru then you may (like me) find keyword research difficult. Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. My problem is finding good keywords.
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 data returned isn’t accurate. However it would have been when they collated it. The answer to this particular enigma came to me almost accidentally.
I went for a key phrase with around 5,000 pages competing against it. I felt I could do well with that one. I put out probably thousands 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? It turned out that my articles were showing on these sites and ranking for the keyword.
I would have definitely avoided this key phrase had I saw 9000 competing web pages. A lot of these sites were ranking with my article so I had a lot of competition but most of it was my own articles. A great result in the end for that key phrase.
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 was looking to get some decent keywords delivered on a daily basis. I calculated the cost against the time it would take me and it seemed a value for money concept.
I decided to give Travis Sago’s Instacash service a try. 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. 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.
All the big marketers bang 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 know how I did that on my site
