Chances are you struggle (like I do) with finding good keywords. I can find keywords all day long. Most of what I find are useless though.
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. Well, that’s not always the case.
The results you see are not always correct, far from it. 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 pretty sure I could get a good result with that keyword. I started banging articles out left right and centre. Hundreds in fact.
It didn’t take long to notice there were now over 9000 competing sites. I was shocked at this huge difference. Looked like it was going to be hard work. A bit more investigating turned up my own articles on loads of these new competing sites.
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 win win situation if you ask me.
Not wanting to rely on luck every time I thought I’d try a keyword research service. Getting a daily list of quality keywords sent is something that appeals to me. 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. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. 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. If I can save two hours work each day that’s something I’ll grab with both hands. Put that couples hours saved against the daily cost and it adds up to value.
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 mentioned earlier about getting thousands of articles published for a good keyword. I’ll let you into that little secret on my site.
