If you aren’t a guru then you may (like me) find keyword research difficult. Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. Most of what I find are just not good enough.

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. However it would have been when they collated it. 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. 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. As it happens most of these extra results were my articles on these different sites.

I would have definitely avoided this key phrase had I saw 9000 competing web pages. As a lot of them were mine (or had my article on) I was competing against my self most of the time. Not a bad situation to be in if you ask me.

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 against the time it would take me and it seemed a value for money concept.

I decided to give Travis Sago’s Instacash service a try. After all, he’s the king of the bum marketers. Bum marketing is something I really like.

One or two good quality keywords delivered each day could save me hours of time. Two hours or so to me is quite valuable. For what the service costs each day against my 2 hours means I’m getting huge value.

All the big marketers bang 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 mentioned earlier about getting thousands of articles published for a good keyword. I’ll let you into that little secret on my site.
