Keyword Research Services – Instacash Tested To Destruction
Do you struggle with keyword research? I know I do. Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. Most of what I find are just not good enough.
When I used Google’s keyword tool I trusted the results 100%. A big company like that wouldn’t give false results, would they? Well, that’s not always the case.
What you see (the data) is not what you get. At the time it was put together it will have been perfectly correct. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.
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 started churning out articles by the bucket load.
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. 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 nice situation to be in!
I decided now to try a keyword research service as I couldn’t keep relying on luck. 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. And I like bum marketing, I like it a lot.
I figure if one good keyword comes each day that should save me an hour or two’s work. An hour or two of my time is highly valuable to me when all I have is time. 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 reckon there’s not much difference here. I’m simply outsourcing the job to a keyword research service.
If you want to know how I got on with the keyword research service head on over to my website and see for yourself how it turned out. I mentioned earlier about getting thousands of articles published for a good keyword. I’ll explain how I did that on my site.
Keyword Research Services – Steer Clear Until You’ve Read This
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.
Keyword Research Services – Worth It Or Not?
Are you like me and struggle with keyword research? Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. I have a problem finding good ones.
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.
The keyword data you see will be out of date and wrong. However it would have been when they collated it. I accidentally discovered the answer to that puzzle.
I homed in on a key phrase with roughly 5000 competing websites. I was feeling confident enough to rank well with this one. I started banging articles out left right and centre. Hundreds in fact.
Not long after I saw that there were now almost nine thousand competing sites. My heart sank, I thought my task was gonna be twice as hard now. Turned out though that an awful lot of the extra competing pages had my articles on them!
My point being is that I’d have swerved this keyword if I had seen nine thousand competitors. Turns out I was competing mostly against myself as my article was the cause of these sites ranking. A good result all round in my opinion.
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. Hopefully I could get some golden keywords delivered to my inbox every day. I calculated the cost of these services and concluded that they were value for money.
I chose to give Travis Sago’s Instacash keyword research service a go. Let’s face it, Travis is THE 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. If I contrast a couple hours of my time against the cost each day it has to be value.
All the big marketers bang on about outsourcing. I see this as an outsourcing project. I’m paying someone else to research my keywords. I reckon that’s outsourcing.
