Are you like me and struggle with keyword research? Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. The problem is though that most are next to useless, or at least seem to be.

I always believed that Google’s keyword tool gave highly accurate results. I had no reason to doubt the leading player’s figures. Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.

Any data you get isn’t accurate. But it probably was at the time they put it together. I stumbled across the solution to this particular conundrum.

I was going for a keyword that had roughly five thousand competing pages. Great I thought, I can nail that. I put out probably thousands 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.

The point I’m trying to get across is that had I looked at the keyword with 9000 competitors, I would have left it alone. I was competing with myself as my article was on the majority of these new sites. Not a bad situation to be in if you ask me.

Anyway, I decided to give a keyword research service a try as I couldn’t count on getting lucky every time. Hopefully I could get some golden keywords delivered to my inbox every day. Balancing cost against time taken (by me) seemed to prove it could be a valuable asset.

I decided to give Travis Sago’s Instacash service a try. Let’s face it, Travis is THE bum marketer. Bum marketing only costs my time so it’s my kind of marketing.

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. Put that couples hours saved against the daily cost and it adds up to value.

All the big marketers bang on about outsourcing. And what I’m trying here is simply that. 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 show you how I did that at my site.
