Great report very impressed with keyword research thanks!
I am really unimpressed with this service. I tried the custom niche and got straight forward keywords which anyone can get from adwords. I really expected more.






*******REVIEW*******
I paid for 3 different Amazon keywords with search volume between 2k - 4k month. The original price was $45 and I got it reduced with a coupon code.
I was delivered a single keyword by mistake, which was quickly corrected when I received my 3 keyword batch this morning. They threw in an extra keyword to make up for the error.
The keywords were all for $50+ products and "low competition" based on the sellers own competition methodology.
I have some serious concerns though:
1) All 4 keywords were listed as 2400 searches per month locally. Using Termexplorer and Google's Keyword Planner, I learned that all 4 keywords had UNDER 2,000 searches, with the highest search volume being 1900. So, I was shorted. I could have just paid for the 1k-2k volume package and saved $15-$20 on the deal. Not sure why this happened.
2) The SERPs for these keywords are heavily dominated by ecommerce sites like Amazon, KMart, Walmart, etc. While most of these sites aren't targetting the exact keywords, they certainly do have a huge amount of domain authority backing them up. Ardley rated these keywords as sub 10% competition, while every other keyword tool I have ranks these exact keywords as Medium to Medium-High difficulty. Again, because Ardley has his own competition metrics, its going to be impossible to compare the two.
3) How do I know that these keywords aren't being sold again and again and again to multiple users?
All in all, I'm a little irked with this service. I was overcharged and the results are going to force me to do my own testing, which is exactly what I wanted to avoid.
great service by Ardley. He gave me some promising keyword. Gotta get back to work for this keyword soon
Mate have pm'd you about buying the package we spoke about.
Very eager to buy that today?
Hi Stackcash.
1. All keywords are English keywords but not targetted to just the US. So if you needed local searches then you should have specified.
2. "heavily dominated by ecommerce sites like Amazon, KMart, Walmart" - yes, this means they are easy. I have spent months if not years testing keywords, and DOMAIN AUTHORITY IS NO MEASURE OF DIFFICULTY. Well ok it is. The higher the domain authority (generally) the easier the keyword is, ESPECIALLY if there is no/low page authority. Every single test I have carried out with every metric has shown this. If you would like me to show you my data I can... What you need to avoid is LOW DA and high PA. These sites are targeted to these keywords. So your assertion that ecommerce sites make it hard for AMAZON keywords is not logical.
3. This comes down to trust, and trust with my customers is my number 1 priority (well right after easy keywords). I KNOW other sellers resell keywords, mainly due to them not having enough stock of easy keywords. I have HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of EASY keywords. Again, if you would like to see my database and data I can show you.
Also, you were NOT over charged. Considering the amount of work, the quality of the report, and the experience I hold, many of my customers often comment on how much I UNDER CHARGE.
I suspect you used a crappy tool like LTP or UNF to check difficulty, which has NO correlation to ACTUAL keyword difficulty (*sigh* if you want to see my data proving this I can show you....). I want to reiterate with you again, I KNOW better than anyone else what makes keywords easy and it is NOT using LTP score LOL.
IF you were not happy with the service you should have messaged me and we could have resolved it, rather than posting an ill-informed review.
I just want to continue from Stackcash's review:
These are the EXACT keywords I sent to him, which he claims are hard.
Here is proof these keywords I provide are EASY at worst:
![]()
All the top results have NO PA, and bad on page SEO - making it very easy to get to the top.
![]()
Another keyword with 0 external backlinks. Please, someone else find me keywords that easy.
![]()
So here we have 5 of the top 10 having no PA, that means, no external OR internal backlinks.. or even any age.. or any use to the top 10.
