Are you like me and struggle with keyword research? I can find keywords all day long. Most of what I find are just not good enough.

When I used Google’s keyword tool I trusted the results 100%. A big company like that wouldn’t give false results, would they? Turns out they do and they don’t.

What you see (the data) is not what you get. But it will have been spot on at some time. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.

I homed in on a key phrase with roughly 5000 competing websites. I felt I could do well with that one. I started banging articles out left right and centre. Hundreds in fact.

Soon after I noticed Google telling me there was about 9000 competing pages now. 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.

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. An awful lot of these new sites were showing my article, thus I was my own competitor. A good result all round in my opinion.

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. I did a few calculations and came to the conclusion that research services, though not cheap, were value for my dollar.

There were a few to choose from but I went with Travis Sago and his Instacash service. Travis is the original bum marketer. 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. Put that couples hours saved against the daily cost and it adds up to value.

I get a lot of emails from gurus banging on about outsourcing. I reckon there’s not much difference here. I’m outsourcing my keyword research to a professional 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 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.
