Chances are you struggle (like I do) with finding good keywords. I can find lots of them. Most of what I find are just not good enough.
I always believed that Google’s keyword tool gave highly accurate results. A big company like that wouldn’t give false results, would they? As it happens, they aren’t always accurate.
The results you see are not always correct, far from it. At the time it was put together it will have been perfectly correct. I stumbled across the solution to this particular conundrum.
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. So I set out putting articles out. Lots of articles.
Pretty soon I noticed over 9000 competitors. 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.
The point I’m trying to get across is that had I looked at the keyword with 9000 competitors, I would have left it alone. 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 good result all round in my opinion.
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.
There were a few to choose from but I went with Travis Sago and his Instacash service. Travis is the original bum marketer. And I like bum marketing, I like it a lot.
It takes me an hour or two to come up with a couple of decent keywords. Getting them delivered is a huge help. 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. I see this as an outsourcing project. 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 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.
