I struggle with keyword research. Maybe you also do? I can find lots of them. Most of what I find are useless though.

I thought the data from Google’s keyword tool was always bang on. I mean, they wouldn’t be telling fibs about their data, would they? Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.

The data returned isn’t accurate. But it will have been spot on at some time. The answer to this particular enigma came to me almost accidentally.

I homed in on a key phrase with roughly 5000 competing websites. I was feeling confident enough to rank well with this one. 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 couldn’t believe my eyes. I started to think thinks weren’t going to be easy as I thought. 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. Not a bad situation to be in if you ask me.

I got lucky on that keyword but I suspected I may not get lucky again so I made the decision to try out a keyword research service. 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 chose to give Travis Sago’s Instacash keyword research service a go. Travis being numero uno in the bum marketing world. Bum marketing is something I really like.

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.

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’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.
