Cheating Keyword Research Outsourcers

I want to outsource keyword research.

But I'm very concerned that the people I'm delegating my keyword research to might cheat me by beating me to the market using the info that I've paid them money for.

Are there any ways for minimizing the possible occurrence of this? I have no problem outsourcing everything from article writing, link wheel building, backlinking, etc. But keyword research gives me some concerns. What if the researcher buys the keyword based domain name before passing on to me his report?

Any advice?

    Instead of outsourcing, simply pay them for each keyword they find. That way if they register it, they can't sell it to you.

    If you're looking for Exact Match Domains, check out my WSO. I don't think you can hire someone for as cheap as $8 per exact match domain.

    ^Huh?

    I don't understand why someone would pay someone for something they can do EASILY. Maybe I need to charge people... I'll charge $5.

    Anyway, back to the point. I don't think you really need to worry about it. There are so many different niches available that even if they did. So what? You know how much of this I do per day? I thought about diving into it and competing with my own clients, honestly. BUT, why waste my time? I don't really care about it.

    Many people who are outsources probably have enough work on their plate, and if they don't, they want to make a good impression to increase future work.

      I would agree with this...

      A huge part of this business if you are outsourcing is word of mouth, sure people can make some money being new and offering a service, but the REAL money is when your service is well known and people are recommending you to other people FOR you...

      Hence. If an out source worker was stealing the domains it would only be a matter of time until they were out of work due to shady practices.
