Anyone Tried This $$$ Method Before?
I have both an article (at EZA) and a video I made of that article (YouTube) ranked on Page 1 at Google for a fairly popular keyword. It's a keyword that I discovered during some research that had an unbelievably low amount of competition, yet gets searched about 8,000 times/month. Sweet, huh? OK, so I'll confess that my conversion rate from all that traffic is really crappy. Way under 1%. Frankly, I don't have the time to dig in and fix the copy and I don't have the funds to invest in a top copywriter. But I really want to capitalize on the steady stream of visitors from the article and the video article.
Quick aside: I make simple but effective videos from written articles, which can be posted on YouTube, Metacafe, etc. It's a great way to build another traffic/income stream from the same article content. PM me if you're interested.
So, I'm wondering if anyone has ever sold their ranking position to a competitor. Crazy, I know, but because it's an article and a video and not a page on my own site, it's a possibility I can't overlook. All it would take is a quick link change at the end of the article and an edit of the raw video file. I don't think that would in any way monkey with the rankings.
I also know I can repeat this for any niche. I can get an article and a video ranked on Page 1 and occupy 2 of the 10 spots. It's really all about careful keyword selection and knowing your way around SEO and backlinking. It's just TIME CONSUMING and that's the commodity I have the least of right now. Anyway, has anyone tried this tactic and how did it go, if so?
Disclaimer: I understand there are things I could do on my end to jack up my own conversions and keep it all in-house. Please don't start listing all those things, ok? I'm curious to test this model for another income stream and frankly I need the influx of quick cash right now (my wife is on the verge of being a casualty of this horrible economy so we're in 'almost panic' mode).
Thanks,
John
