In today’s internet marketing it is important to keep up with popular trends including  the concept of keyword competition and the appropriate use of low competition keywords.  There are a number of search engines on the internet, and there are only so many ways  that you can boost your site all the way to the top of the rankings.

General terms that encompass a wide realm of possibilities will usually fall under the  high competition keywords. These are words that are used commonly, apply to products and  services that are purchased commonly, and words that are commonly shortened. For  instance, auto is a commonly shortened term for automobile. Few of us refer to the car as  either the auto or the automobile. We typically use the words we are more familiar with  when we type our keywords into search engines.  We need to be familiar with how search engines  work.

We know that very common words are naturally going to be more popular. We know that when  there are several ways to refer to the same item, the more common reference will be  chosen. Cat is more popular than the term feline and will be more likely to be the word  entered into the search engine by the user. However, feline is still used especially in  reference to something specific such as feline frenzy or feline leukemia.  Professional keyword  research will help you find those essential differences.

Industries, products, and services that have jargon used throughout those “in the know”  are likely to be able to use low competition keywords with great success. Sometimes it’s  not just about driving traffic to your site. Sometimes what makes the biggest difference  in your success is driving traffic that is already familiar with what they need and are  actually looking to buy.

This can work with general products as well. It’s becoming more popular to plug in the  model number when using keywords related to electronics. While very few of us will search  out a specific model number, those who are looking for parts or replacement electronics  are more likely to enter the model number. While you won’t get much traffic from using a  model number, those that do visit you will be profitable visitors.

This brings them directly to where they need to be. Most people looking to buy a new  laptop are not likely to compare model numbers via the search engine. This means that  those who would be considered back end users will find you more effectively.

Of course, you don’t want to leave laptops and laptop related keywords off the list since  those who are taking a general stroll around the internet looking for a good deal will  want laptop results. It’s about combining the high competition keywords with the low  competition keywords in order to make the best use of your energy, time, and money.

Chances are you struggle (like I do) with finding good keywords. Actually I can find loads of keywords. 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. I mean, they wouldn’t be telling fibs about their data, would they? Well, that’s not always the case.

What you see (the data) is not what you get. But it probably was at the time they put it together. I discovered the answer almost by pure chance.

I went for a key phrase with around 5,000 pages competing against it. I was pretty sure I could get a good result with that keyword. 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. I was competing with myself as my article was on the majority of these new sites. A win win situation 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. Getting a daily list of quality keywords sent is something that appeals to me. I calculated the cost against the time it would take me and it seemed a value for money concept.

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

One or two good quality keywords delivered each day could save me hours of time. When all I have is time then two hours saved can be huge to me. If I put the time saved up against the daily cost it shows clearly there’s value to be had.

All the big marketers bang on about outsourcing. And what I’m trying here is simply that. Outsourcing my keyword research to someone else.

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 show you how I did that at my site.
