I struggle with keyword research. Maybe you also do? I can find keywords all day long. Most of what I find are useless though.

I always believed that Google’s keyword tool gave highly accurate results. After all, they should be giving out accurate info. Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.

The results you see are not always correct, far from it. It would have been correct at some point though. I accidentally discovered the answer to that puzzle.

I homed in on a key phrase with roughly 5000 competing websites. I was pretty confident I could get a result from that. I started banging articles out left right and centre. Hundreds in fact.

It didn’t take long to notice there were now over 9000 competing sites. I could hardly believe that. Had there been some mistake? 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. 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 knew I wasn’t going to get lucky all the time so I decided to try a keyword research service. I liked the idea of good keywords being delivered to me every day. I had figured that the daily cost against how much work I would save is value for my money.

Travis Sago was offering a keyword research service which I decided to try. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. Bum marketing is something I really like.

One or two good quality keywords delivered each day could save me hours of time. 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.

Outsourcing, outsourcing, outsourcing. Seems to be all you hear from the gurus of internet marketing. I see this as an outsourcing project. I’m giving my keyword research to someone else to do. That’s outsourcing.

If you want to hear about my trial of the Instacash service get yourself over to my website. I mentioned earlier about getting thousands of articles published for a good keyword. I’ll let you into that little secret on my site.
