Chances are you struggle (like I do) with finding good keywords. Actually I can find loads of keywords. Most of what I find are just not good enough.
I thought the data from Google’s keyword tool was always bang on. I mean, they wouldn’t be telling fibs about their data, would they? Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.
What you see (the data) is not what you get. But it probably was at the time they put it together. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.
I was going for a keyword that had roughly five thousand competing pages. 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? As it happens most of these extra results were my articles on these different sites.
My point being is that I’d have swerved this keyword if I had seen nine thousand competitors. I was competing with myself as my article was on the majority of these new sites. A win win situation if you ask me.
I knew I wasn’t going to get lucky all the time so I decided to try a keyword research service. Getting a daily list of quality keywords sent is something that appeals to me. I calculated the cost of these services and concluded that they were value for money.
Of the keyword research services on offer I opted to try Travis Sago’s Instacash. Let’s face it, Travis is THE bum marketer. Bum marketing only costs my time so it’s my kind of marketing.
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. When all I have is time then two hours saved can be huge to me. For what the service costs each day against my 2 hours means I’m getting huge value.
I get a lot of emails from gurus banging on about outsourcing. I reckon there’s not much difference here. I’m simply outsourcing the job to a keyword research service.
Do you wanna know how it went with the Instacash service? Get on over to my website and I’ll tell you. Earlier I mentioned that I ended up with thousands of articles on websites for a certain keyword. I’ll let you into that little secret on my site.
