Keyword Research Services – Worth It Or Not?
March 18th, 2010I struggle with keyword research. Maybe you also do? 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%. I mean, they wouldn’t be telling fibs about their data, would they? Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.
The results you see are not always correct, far from it. But it will have been spot on at some time. I accidentally discovered the answer to that puzzle.
I homed in on a key phrase with roughly 5000 competing websites. I was pretty sure I could get a good result with that keyword. I put out probably thousands of articles.
Soon after I noticed Google telling me there was about 9000 competing pages now. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I started to think thinks weren’t going to be easy as I thought. Turned out though that an awful lot of the extra competing pages had my articles on them!
If I had saw 9000 competing sites I would have passed this keyword by. 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.
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. Balancing cost against time taken (by me) seemed to prove it could be a valuable asset.
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 only costs my time so it’s my kind of marketing.
One or two good quality keywords delivered each day could save me hours of time. And a couple hours work is pretty valuable to me. If I contrast a couple hours of my time against the cost each day it has to be 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 giving my keyword research to someone else to do. That’s outsourcing.
You can find out just how the trial went over at my site. Earlier I mentioned that I ended up with thousands of articles on websites for a certain keyword. I’ll show you how I did that at my site.
