Chances are you struggle (like I do) with finding good keywords. 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. After all, they should be giving out accurate info. Well, that’s not always the case.
The results you see are not always correct, far from it. But it probably was at the time they put it together. I stumbled across the solution to this particular conundrum.
I targeted a keyword that ‘said’ it had about 5000 competing web pages. I felt I could do well with that one. I started churning out articles by the bucket load.
Pretty soon I noticed over 9000 competitors. 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.
My point being is that I’d have swerved this keyword if I had seen nine thousand competitors. An awful lot of these new sites were showing my article, thus I was my own competitor. A win win situation if you ask me.
Not wanting to rely on luck every time I thought I’d try a keyword research service. Getting a daily list of quality keywords sent is something that appeals to me. 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 (article) marketing is something I enjoy as it’s almost free.
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 contrast a couple hours of my time against the cost each day it has to be value.
I get a lot of emails from gurus banging on about outsourcing. And what I’m trying here is simply that. Outsourcing my keyword research to someone else.
If you want to hear about my trial of the Instacash service get yourself over to my website. I mentioned earlier about getting thousands of articles published for a good keyword. I’ll explain how I did that on my site.
