I've noticed that for the keyword I am trying to compete for there is a lot of low quality sites that have high rank in the serp. I am talking in the top 10 here. The serp gets about 100k hits per month. They have zero advertisements on the site. Most appear to be running out of pure goodwill. I was thinking maybe I could offer some cash to take over the site and just slap some google ads on it. Anyone tried this?
No i havent tried it yet, but i think it would work fine wouldnt it? I am sure if it ranks in the top 10 they probably know what they are doing and wouldnt let go of the site just for some small amount of cash.
I've seen so many crappy html sites that have not been updated since 1999 and everytime I've tried to buy them the owner has either disappeared or won't sell.
