| Is it worth to subscribe shared keyword database? |
|
We know our limitation. It is very difficult to generate a keyword idea without similar experience before.
So there is a new kind of business called shared keyword database. It is a subscription service to shared the new keyword ideas with the members.
It can help you to have new keyword ideas without doing any time consuming research :-(
However, there is a drawback. When there are thousands of people using the same keywords, is it still worth to pay for a keyword from uncommon to common right now?
There is no absolute answer for this question. |
