Keyword Research Services – A Godsend Or A Rip Off?
Posted on February 10th, 2010
Chances are you struggle (like I do) with finding good keywords. Actually I can find loads of keywords. My problem is finding good keywords.
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. Well, that’s not always the case.
The data returned isn’t accurate. It would have been correct at some point though. The answer to this particular enigma came to me almost accidentally.
I went for a key phrase with around 5,000 pages competing against it. I felt I could do well with that one. I started churning out articles by the bucket load.
It didn’t take long to notice there were now over 9000 competing sites. I could hardly believe that. Had there been some mistake? I was relieved to see that an awful lot of these competitors were showing my articles.
I would have definitely avoided this key phrase had I saw 9000 competing web pages. As a lot of them were mine (or had my article on) I was competing against my self most of the time. A great result in the end for that key phrase.
I knew I wasn’t going to get lucky all the time so I decided to try a keyword research service. Hopefully I could get some golden keywords delivered to my inbox every day. I calculated the cost of these services and concluded that they were value for money.
There were a few to choose from but I went with Travis Sago and his Instacash service. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. 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. When all I have is time then two hours saved can be huge 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 reckon there’s not much difference here. I’m simply outsourcing the job to a keyword research service.
Do you wanna know how it went with the Instacash service? Get on over to my website and I’ll tell you. I said earlier about how I got loads of articles published for my chosen keyword. I’ll let you know how I did that on my site
