Keyword Research Services - Can They Save You Time And Money?
I struggle with keyword research. Maybe you also do? Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. Most of what I find are useless though.
I thought the data from Google’s keyword tool was always bang on. I mean, they wouldn’t be telling fibs about their data, would they? Well, it turns out the figures aren’t always right.
The keyword data you see will be out of date and wrong. But it will have been spot on at some time. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.
I was going for a keyword that had roughly 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? Turned out though that an awful lot of the extra competing pages had my articles on them!
What I’m saying is that I would have left it alone had I saw over 9000 competing sites. 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 knew I wasn’t going to get lucky all the time so I decided to try a keyword research service. I was looking to get some decent keywords delivered on a daily basis. 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. Travis being numero uno in the bum marketing world. Bum marketing is something I really like.
One or two good quality keywords delivered each day could save me hours of time. Two hours or so to me is quite valuable. 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 see this as an outsourcing project. I’m paying someone else to research my keywords. I reckon that’s outsourcing.
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 let you into that little secret on my site.
