Keyword Research Services – Can They Save You Time And Money?
Are you like me and struggle with keyword research? I can find lots of them. I have a problem finding good ones.
I always believed that Google’s keyword tool gave highly accurate results. 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The keyword data you see will be out of date and wrong. It would have been correct at some point though. The answer to this particular enigma came to me almost accidentally.
I homed in on a key phrase with roughly 5000 competing websites. I was pretty confident I could get a result from that. So I set out putting articles out. Lots of articles.
Not long after I saw that there were now almost nine thousand 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. 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.
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. I calculated the cost of these services and concluded that they were value for money.
Of the keyword research services on offer I opted to try Travis Sago’s Instacash. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. Bum marketing is something I really like.
If I can get a keyword or two in my in box each day then that saves me valuable time. At least a two hour saving. An hour or two of my time is highly valuable to me when all I have is time. If I put the time saved up against the daily cost it shows clearly there’s value to be had.
All the big marketers bang on about outsourcing. I see this as nothing more than that. 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.
