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.

Chances are you struggle (like I do) with finding good keywords. I can find keywords all day long. I have a problem finding good ones.
When I used Google’s keyword tool I trusted the results 100%. After all, they should be giving out accurate info. Turns out they do and they don’t.
What you see (the data) is not what you get. But it will have been spot on at some time. I stumbled across the solution to this particular conundrum.
I decided to go for a keyword with about 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. I was shocked at this huge difference. Looked like it was going to be hard work. A bit more investigating turned up my own articles on loads of these new competing sites.
What I’m saying is that I would have left it alone had I saw over 9000 competing sites. As a lot of them were mine (or had my article on) I was competing against my self most of the time. 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. I had figured that the daily cost against how much work I would save is value for my money.
There were a few to choose from but I went with Travis Sago and his Instacash service. Travis is the original bum marketer. 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. Two hours or so to me is quite valuable. Put that couples hours saved against the daily cost and it adds up to value.
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.
If you’re interested in how the trial of the Instacash service went then head on over to my web site. I also mentioned earlier how I got thousands of articles on web pages all over the net. I’ll explain how I did that on my site.
