On one hand you never know till you try but on the other it might be worth throwing $20 on a ccp campaign to figure how viable it is (at least from a business prospective).

Ranking for Marketing takes a ton of effort. Possible yes. But hope you have a couple years to dedicate to the effort, then what? When you are there needs to be somewhat appealing to that crowd to be effective. Thanks for stopping by. Money or time. Ranking for Marketing takes a ton of effort. Possible yes.

I love the focus on what even a single visitor can be worth, as opposed to pure volume. I've got a couple of domains like that ... that are probably only going to get 15-30 visits a day, even when they rank #1 ... but with at least one of them, I know from experience that one person (of the right type) finding and partnering with me can be worth literally 10s of thousands of dollars over the years.

You are correct in that if the term is what someone is looking for and you are the solution there is a high chance of converting that into something more meaningful. <br><br>Thanks for stopping by.

Maybe a redesign coming in the future... I agree and could probably have had much higher conversions had my site been designed to funnel leads from everyone who entered.

I'll take one buying customer any day over 10,000 non buying. Granted if you had 10k visitors you should be able to figure how to monetize that.
