If you aren’t a guru then you may (like me) find keyword research difficult. Actually I can find loads of keywords. My problem is finding good keywords.

I thought the data from Google’s keyword tool was always bang on. Why wouldn’t I? Big company like that shouldn’t be giving false figures. Sadly, that’s not always how it goes.

What you see (the data) is not what you get. But it probably was at the time they put it together. The answer to this particular enigma came to me almost accidentally.

I homed in on a key phrase with roughly 5000 competing websites. Great I thought, I can nail that. I started churning out articles by the bucket load.

Pretty soon I noticed over 9000 competitors. I was shocked at this huge difference. Looked like it was going to be hard work. I was relieved to see that an awful lot of these competitors were showing my articles.

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. Not a bad situation to be in if you ask me.

Anyway, I decided to give a keyword research service a try as I couldn’t count on getting lucky every time. I was looking to get some decent keywords delivered on a daily basis. Balancing cost against time taken (by me) seemed to prove it could be a valuable asset.

Of the keyword research services on offer I opted to try Travis Sago’s Instacash. Travis being at the top of the bum marketing pile. 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. When all I have is time then two hours saved can be huge to me. 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. And what I’m trying here is simply that. I’m simply outsourcing the job to a keyword research service.

Do you wanna know how it went with the Instacash service? Get on over to my website and I’ll tell you. Earlier I mentioned that I ended up with thousands of articles on websites for a certain keyword. I’ll let you into that little secret on my site.
