Keyword Research Services – Can They Save You Time And Money?
March 6th, 2010If you aren’t a guru then you may (like me) find keyword research difficult. I can find keywords all day long. The problem is though that most are next to useless, or at least seem to be.
I always believed that Google’s keyword tool gave highly accurate results. After all, they should be giving out accurate info. Well, that’s not always the case.
The results you see are not always correct, far from it. It would have been correct at some point though. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.
I decided to go for a keyword with about five thousand competing pages. I was pretty confident I could get a result from that. I started banging articles out left right and centre. Hundreds in fact.
Not long after I saw that there were now almost nine thousand competing sites. 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.
My point being is that I’d have swerved this keyword if I had seen nine thousand competitors. 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.
I knew I wasn’t going to get lucky all the time so I decided to try a keyword research service. I liked the idea of good keywords being delivered to me every day. I calculated the cost of these services and concluded that they were value for 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.
It takes me an hour or two to come up with a couple of decent keywords. Getting them delivered is a huge help. And a couple hours work is pretty valuable to me. Put that couples hours saved against the daily cost and it adds up to value.
Outsourcing, outsourcing, outsourcing. Seems to be all you hear from the gurus of internet marketing. I reckon there’s not much difference here. 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 show you how I did that at my site.
