Keyword Research Services – Value For Money Or A Waste Of Space?
If you aren’t a guru then you may (like me) find keyword research difficult. I can find keywords all day long. Most of what I find are useless though.
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. Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.
The data returned isn’t accurate. However it would have been when they collated it. The answer to this particular enigma came to me almost accidentally.
I was going for a keyword that had roughly 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 could hardly believe that. Had there been some mistake? As it happens most of these extra results were my articles on these different sites.
My point being is that I’d have swerved this keyword if I had seen nine thousand competitors. Turns out I was competing mostly against myself as my article was the cause of these sites ranking. Not a bad situation to be in if you ask me.
Anyway, I decided to give a keyword research service a try as I couldn’t count on getting lucky every time. I was looking to get some decent keywords delivered on a daily basis. I calculated the cost of these services and concluded that they were value for money.
I chose to give Travis Sago’s Instacash keyword research service a go. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. Bum marketing is something I really like.
It takes me an hour or two to come up with a couple of decent keywords. Getting them delivered is a huge help. Two hours or so to me is quite valuable. Put that couples hours saved against the daily cost and it adds up to value.
All the big marketers bang on about outsourcing. 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 said earlier about how I got loads of articles published for my chosen keyword. I’ll show you how I did that at my site.
