Are you like me and struggle with keyword research? I can find keywords all day long. I have a problem finding good ones.

When I used Google’s keyword tool I trusted the results 100%. After all, they should be giving out accurate info. Turns out they do and they don’t.

Any data you get isn’t accurate. At the time it was put together it will have been perfectly correct. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.

I decided to go for a keyword with about five thousand competing pages. I was pretty confident I could get a result from that. I started churning out articles by the bucket load.

It didn’t take long to notice there were now over 9000 competing sites. I could hardly believe that. Had there been some mistake? A bit more investigating turned up my own articles on loads of these new competing sites.

My point being is that I’d have swerved this keyword if I had seen nine thousand competitors. 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 good result all round in my opinion.

I decided now to try a keyword research service as I couldn’t keep relying on luck. I was looking to get some decent keywords delivered on a daily basis. I calculated the cost of these services and concluded that they were value for money.

There were a few to choose from but I went with Travis Sago and his Instacash service. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. Bum marketing only costs my time so it’s my kind of marketing.

I figure if one good keyword comes each day that should save me an hour or two’s work. 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.

My email inbox is usually full of stuff going on about how outsourcing is the way forward. 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 also mentioned earlier how I got thousands of articles on web pages all over the net. I’ll let you into that little secret on my site.
