Keyword Research Services – Worth It Or Not?

If you aren’t a guru then you may (like me) find keyword research difficult. I can find lots of them. Most of what I find are useless though.

I thought the data from Google’s keyword tool was always bang on. After all, they should be giving out accurate info. Well, it turns out the figures aren’t always right.

The results you see are not always correct, far from it. However it would have been when they collated it. I accidentally discovered the answer to that puzzle.

I decided to go for a keyword with about five thousand competing pages. 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 couldn’t believe my eyes. I started to think thinks weren’t going to be easy as I thought. It turned out that my articles were showing on these sites and ranking for the keyword.

What I’m saying is that I would have left it alone had I saw over 9000 competing sites. Turns out I was competing mostly against myself as my article was the cause of these sites ranking. A nice situation to be in!

I got lucky on that keyword but I suspected I may not get lucky again so I made the decision to try out a keyword research service. Hopefully I could get some golden keywords delivered to my inbox every day. Balancing cost against time taken (by me) seemed to prove it could be a valuable asset.

Travis Sago was offering a keyword research service which I decided to try. Let’s face it, Travis is THE bum marketer. Bum marketing is something I really like.

One or two good quality keywords delivered each day could save me hours of time. And a couple hours work is pretty valuable to me. If I put the time saved up against the daily cost it shows clearly there’s value to be had.

I get a lot of emails from gurus banging on about outsourcing. I see this as nothing more than that. I’m giving my keyword research to someone else to do. That’s outsourcing.

If you’re interested in how the trial of the Instacash service went then head on over to my web site. Earlier I mentioned that I ended up with thousands of articles on websites for a certain keyword. I’ll also tell you how I did that at my site.
