There is a hot product and the ocmpetition on the 1st page looks very shakey. Is it possible to rank in 1 month if the website was seo'd properly ? or forget about it and move on ? how about a blog ?
Yes, its possible. Get a keyword rich domain, and SEO it to the nines.Hope you dont get sandboxed too early. But I would only bank on MSN
.... or forget about it and move on ? not necessarily. Can be done, budget is about $200. For this your full (product) story will be on the first page result of Goggle and Yahoo, with a link to your site. How's that?
I think it is a Kind of hard... people buy 2 or 3 Weeks bevore Chrismas in the internet, and everybody knows Google they crawl when they whant, and msm is worse, the only chance i see is Yahoo. To compit with adwords can be very expensive around chrismas, specialy if the keyword have to do something with chrismas gifts...Also there is the Page rank problem... andd to go as shop to place one....huuu... there you need a lot of SEO.... If you still try and you are bevore 2 Weeks bevore Chrismas at place one, please let me know...whath i dont know. Saludos...
What about asking help from who is already on top to sell ur product and share the profits? You will spend more if you develop a website to it...
If your site is too seasonal you may consider using PPC advertising though by the same reason your cost will be higher. If you want to get indexed fast you need high PR backlinks but then you also need the PR and KEI of the other sites. Do they have adsense or something? Maybe you can steal some traffic off them.
I was going to suggest PPC in the situation where you couldn't get the site indexed in time, but it seems Anteros already beat me to it.
The idea of Thiagoo is great. If your product is realy very good, you will find some one who will share profit with you. Also i whould try Ebay. Ebay sell crazy around chrismas. (also after)
This isn't really true. A basic blog gets indexed in a day or two. If you get a domain with the exact keywords you are trying to target there is a good chance you will hit the front page for 2 or 3 weeks as well. If you are trying to catch the Christmas crowd that is all the time you need.
Oh yeah, use the right strategies..you'll be fine...Of course if you are totally new to seo and have no previous knowledge then it might be a little hard but there's nothing wrong in trying.
do you mean indexed or ranked.. google will rank again next jan, so probably won't be in time. but to get indexed is easy.
Don't forget about using sites like Flickr, YouTube, Digg, etc. I had a Thanksgiving item that I was hanging in at 15-30 with, but my Fickr photos of the item (with links to my site) were consistently #1 and 3!
