Keyword Research Services - Travis Sago’s Instacash Tested & Reviewed
Are you like me and struggle with keyword research? Actually, it’s not a problem finding them. Most of what I find are just not good enough.
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? Turns out they do and they don’t.
The data returned isn’t accurate. However it would have been when they collated it. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.
I was going for a keyword that had roughly five thousand competing pages. I felt I could do well with that one. So I set out putting articles out. Lots of articles.
It didn’t take long to notice there were now over 9000 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.
My point being is that I’d have swerved this keyword if I had seen nine thousand competitors. I was competing with myself as my article was on the majority of these new sites. 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. 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.
There were a few to choose from but I went with Travis Sago and his Instacash service. After all, he’s the king of the bum marketers. 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. 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.
All the big marketers bang on about outsourcing. I reckon there’s not much difference here. 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.
