Chances are you struggle (like I do) with finding good keywords. Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. 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. As it happens, they aren’t always accurate.
Any data you get isn’t accurate. But it will have been spot on at some time. I accidentally discovered the answer to that puzzle.
I targeted a keyword that ’said’ it had about 5000 competing web pages. I was pretty sure I could get a good result with that keyword. I started churning out articles by the bucket load.
Soon after I noticed Google telling me there was about 9000 competing pages now. I was downhearted at this new revelation. Maybe it was going to be far more difficult than I imagined. I was relieved to see that an awful lot of these competitors were showing my articles.
My point being is that I’d have swerved this keyword if I had seen nine thousand competitors. 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. 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. After all, he’s the king of the bum marketers. 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. 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 simply outsourcing the job to a keyword research service.
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.
