Are you like me and struggle with keyword research? I can find lots of them. I have a problem finding good ones.
I always believed that Google’s keyword tool gave highly accurate results. After all, they should be giving out accurate info. Turns out they do and they don’t.
What you see (the data) is not what you get. But it probably was at the time they put it together. I stumbled across the solution to this particular conundrum.
I decided to go for a keyword with about five thousand competing pages. I felt I could do well with that one. I started banging articles out left right and centre. Hundreds in fact.
Pretty soon I noticed over 9000 competitors. I could hardly believe that. Had there been some mistake? It turned out that my articles were showing on these sites and ranking for the keyword.
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. 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 decided now to try a keyword research service as I couldn’t keep relying on luck. 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. After all, he’s the king of the bum marketers. And I like bum marketing, I like it a lot.
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 weigh the cost each day against my two hours work it clearly becomes value for money.
I get a lot of emails from gurus banging 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 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 also mention earlier about thousands of articles published for one keyword. I’ll explain how I did that on my site.
