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. Most of what I find are useless though.
I always believed that Google’s keyword tool gave highly accurate results. After all, they should be giving out accurate info. Well, it turns out the figures aren’t always right.
The data returned isn’t accurate. But it will have been spot on at some time. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.
I homed in on a key phrase with roughly 5000 competing websites. I was feeling confident enough to rank well with this 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? Turned out though that an awful lot of the extra competing pages had my articles on them!
If I had saw 9000 competing sites I would have passed this keyword by. 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 nice situation to be in!
I knew I wasn’t going to get lucky all the time so I decided to try a keyword research service. 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.
Of the keyword research services on offer I opted to try Travis Sago’s Instacash. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. And I like bum marketing, I like it a lot.
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 contrast a couple hours of my time against the cost each day it has to be value.
Outsourcing, outsourcing, outsourcing. Seems to be all you hear from the gurus of internet marketing. I see this as an outsourcing project. I’m paying someone else to research my keywords. I reckon that’s outsourcing.
If you want to hear about my trial of the Instacash service get yourself over to my website. I mentioned earlier about getting thousands of articles published for a good keyword. I’ll let you into that little secret on my site.
