Are you like me and struggle with keyword research? Finding keywords isn’t actually the problem. The problem is though that most are next to useless, or at least seem to be.

I always believed that Google’s keyword tool gave highly accurate results. Why wouldn’t I? Big company like that shouldn’t be giving false figures. Well, that’s not always the case.

The data returned isn’t accurate. It would have been correct at some point though. The answer to this particular enigma came to me almost accidentally.

I was going for a keyword that had roughly five thousand competing pages. Great I thought, I can nail 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? I was relieved to see that an awful lot of these competitors were showing my articles.

I would have definitely avoided this key phrase had I saw 9000 competing web pages. I was competing with myself as my article was on the majority of these new sites. 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 succeeding randomly every time. 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.

Of the keyword research services on offer I opted to try Travis Sago’s Instacash. Let’s face it, Travis is THE bum marketer. And bum marketing really appeals to me.

It takes me an hour or two to come up with a couple of decent keywords. Getting them delivered is a huge help. Two hours or so to me is quite valuable. For what the service costs each day against my 2 hours means I’m getting huge value.

I get a lot of emails from gurus banging on about outsourcing. I reckon there’s not much difference here. 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 let you into that little secret on my site.
