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.

I always believed that Google’s keyword tool gave highly accurate results. Why wouldn’t I? Big company like that shouldn’t be giving false figures. Turns out they do and they don’t.

What you see (the data) is not what you get. But it will have been spot on at some time. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.

I decided to go for a keyword with about five thousand competing pages. 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 downhearted at this new revelation. Maybe it was going to be far more difficult than I imagined. It turned out that my articles were showing on these sites and ranking for the keyword.

What I’m saying is that I would have left it alone had I saw over 9000 competing sites. A lot of these sites were ranking with my article so I had a lot of competition but most of it was my own articles. A nice situation to be in!

Anyway, I decided to give a keyword research service a try as I couldn’t count on getting lucky every time. My hope was to get some ‘killer’ keywords delivered by email every day. I calculated the cost of these services and concluded that they were value for money.

Travis Sago was offering a service which I decided to try. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. 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. 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.

My email inbox is usually full of stuff going on about how outsourcing is the way forward. And what I’m trying here is simply that. I’m outsourcing my keyword research to a professional service.

If you’re interested in how the trial of the Instacash service went then head on over to my web site. I also mentioned earlier how I got thousands of articles on web pages all over the net. I’ll explain how I did that on my site.
