Hi Everybody!
I have been studying a lot lately to make an informative decision on whether I should start a site on sbi (if it's right for me). I'm sure that it has been the right decision for many people but I don't know if it would work out for what I intend.
I know of some people who have simply optimized their site (as a store) and not as an informational site. These people have been able to rank high for good keywords that people are searching for to directly buy. In other words- they get the traffic from people who are already wanting to buy and so their conversion rate is much higher.
They don't spend a huge amount of time creating a humongous content website.
They actually spend a big amount of their time getting quality backlinks to the pages they are trying to rank high in. The pages that they are trying to rank high in actually have keywords that are profitable because people are searching to buy things in those terms.
I would think that this strategy for online selling gets much faster monetary results for the effort invested (not that it's get rich quick- as I don't believe in get rich quick). I am not talking about getting rich quick but in having a monetary strategy that is not solely based on information.
Some people go online to buy. As I understand that many of them want information-- wouldn't it be better to try to rank high for those that are already wanting to buy instead of spending so much time writing information in the hopes that someday it will convert??
I know that SBI has worked for many people. I don’t doubt the effectiveness of it for some sites ( that have a well planned marketing strategy). It just makes more sense to me to find a way to convert all of the hard work of getting backlinks to a page that is optimized for keywords that people are searching for to buy stuff (instead of informational)
Thanks for any clarification……..
