Keyword Research Services – Read My In Depth Test Of One
If you aren’t a guru then you may (like me) find keyword research difficult. Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. My problem is finding good keywords.
When I used Google’s keyword tool I trusted the results 100%. I had no reason to doubt the leading player’s figures. Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.
The data returned isn’t accurate. But it probably was at the time they put it together. The answer to this particular enigma came to me almost accidentally.
I homed in on a key phrase with roughly 5000 competing websites. Great I thought, I can nail that. So I set out putting articles out. Lots of articles.
Not long after I saw that there were now almost nine thousand competing sites. My heart sank, I thought my task was gonna be twice as hard now. I was relieved to see that an awful lot of these competitors were showing my articles.
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. Not a bad situation to be in if you ask me.
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. Getting a daily list of quality keywords sent is something that appeals to me. I calculated the cost against the time it would take me and it seemed a value for money concept.
Of the keyword research services on offer I opted to try Travis Sago’s Instacash. Let’s face it, Travis is THE bum marketer. Bum marketing only costs my time so it’s my kind of marketing.
It takes me an hour or two to come up with a couple of decent keywords. Getting them delivered is a huge help. An hour or two of my time is highly valuable to me when all I have is time. 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. And what I’m trying here is simply that. I’m simply outsourcing the job to a keyword research service.
You can find out just how the trial went over at my site. I mentioned earlier about getting thousands of articles published for a good keyword. I’ll let you know how I did that on my site
