If you aren’t a guru then you may (like me) find keyword research difficult. Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. My problem is finding good keywords.

I thought the data from Google’s keyword tool was always bang on. Why wouldn’t I? Big company like that shouldn’t be giving false figures. Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.

What you see (the data) is not what you get. But it probably was at the time they put it together. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.

I went for a key phrase with around 5,000 pages competing against it. I was pretty sure I could get a good result with that keyword. I started churning out articles by the bucket load.

Pretty soon I noticed over 9000 competitors. My heart sank, I thought my task was gonna be twice as hard now. It turned out that my articles were showing on these sites and ranking for the keyword.

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 win win situation if you ask me.

I got lucky on that keyword but I suspected I may not get lucky again so I made the decision to try out a keyword research service. I was looking to get some decent keywords delivered on a daily basis. I calculated the cost against the time it would take me and it seemed a value for money concept.

There were a few to choose from but I went with Travis Sago and his Instacash service. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. And bum marketing really appeals to me.

One or two good quality keywords delivered each day could save me hours of time. When all I have is time then two hours saved can be huge to me. If I put the time saved up against the daily cost it shows clearly there’s value to be had.

I get a lot of emails from gurus banging 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.
