I need advise and opinions. I read much about keyword research and use different soft for this purpose- GKT, market samurai and etc. But the deeper in this theme the less I am sure of myself. Therefore I inclined to idea of taking paid keyword research. For example on fiverr. Please, advise some good research services to me.

  • Keyword research and niche selection can seem confusing at first, but once you've done it a few times you'll find that you can start to pick out likely 'targets' fairly quickly. I think that it's part of the foundation on which you'll be building your business and it's something that you need to learn and be familiar with.

    By outsourcing and getting a list of keywords back that someone else has generated might result in a waste of your time and effort (not saying that it will be the case) but you're still not going to know the value and actual competition of the list if you don't know how to do the research yourself.

    I don't use keyword research services so can't advise on those, but if you do end up buying a list then it might be an idea to do your own research against the keywords to develop an understanding of why they are good, non-competitive, buyer keywords or not worth following through with, whatever the case may be.

    I assume that you have the understanding of the keywords competitiveness because the more you do research the more are confusing and feel that it is too hard to do keywords research with a good choice. If you understand those stuffs, it would definitely help to hire the keywords research service to get the keywords and use those list to verify again. This will help to have the idea of the keywords, and you just bring the it to do a confirmation with the data and competitors.

    Again, the best bet is to understand the step to value the keywords yourself. Hiring keywords research service is good if you have no idea where to choose the keywords and feel confusing.
    Signature
    I just wanna tell you that most of the links in the signature are trash and/or a trap to make you pay!

      thanks for opinions but I would like to know about good places to buy keyword research servises. I understand that my own experience is very important and I constantly do it, but I have the idea to start few parallel sites. First will be based on my own keyword and second on paid keyword. It will be interesting to compare

        I'm sure there are some people that offer KW research services right here on the Warrior Forum.

    If you've got the funds, I guess you could outsource KW research. But I'd really, REALLY suggest learning what you can in the mean time. I don't really like the idea of someone else knowing all of the keywords I'm interested in targeting.

      Searching for a good, relevant and profitable keyword is not anymore child game, its become more like an art where you need to enter lots of efforts and creativity.
      Even if you use software doesn't mean you will dominate search engine or PPC with it. Software need to be guided and controled by human. Power is nothing without control.
      I use market Samurai and Keyword Elite V2.0 and its not 2 minute of job. Even I have great software I spend time to find profitable keywords but in the end it worth it. Also I spend lot's of time to watch video tutorials on how to do it and always follow my intuition.
      If you hire someone you will pay but that someone haven't got your brain and you maybe lose something here... Think about it.
      I highly recommend that you download trial version of market Samurai and watch video tutorials and start to play by yourself, in the end, if you love this job it can be lot's of fun and excitement.:rolleyes:

    Hi there! I think you've got your answer there! "The deepeer in this theme, the less I am sure of myself"! Sometimes, it's best to stick to ONE method of research and not get drowned! I used-- and still do in many other areas-- tend to go buy or download many things that end up getting me totally confused! "Less is more"! As for Fiverr, I'd definitely not recommend it! I have tried it and never got anything really worth paying for, especially with regards to keyword research!

    I also think that it's good to stay away from keyword research tools sometimes and just brainstorm ideas! You'd be surprised how much deeper your brain can go!

    Good luck!

    I think it all depends how much you know about your business/market as well as SEO. Obviously your budget is always a concern as well. I personally think that hiring an expert is the best thing for most people, however not everyone has the money to do so.

    Well, I use Fiverr for some stuff but I am not too sure about keyword research. Your keywords are the most important part of the puzzle. Why not try finding on the Warrior form, or as mentioned previously, an SEO pro if you really want to get the job done.
