Sir,
My name is *****,I have a website with list of few hotels in your city,and I am happy to announce that your Hotel has made it to the lists.The sites gets xxxx clicks a day and your page alone gets xxx clicks!It was a non-profit site but now I can't bear the expances and would close it if my financial condition doesn't get back on track.You may help us by paying a so called listing charge of just $139 and then just $89 as subscription changre per month.You can earn this money back easily with one guest only!If you pay only listing charge then your hotel's page would be kept listed in the site,but if you pay subscription charge also then I will add "Contact details" "Hotel's Facility" "Pricing" etc to help you get online orders.Hope you'll be able to see your profit in this and will reply with a yes.Further discussions after your reply.

Your Name

This email is not going to get you anywhere, Nigerian 419 emails are more convincing. I like the part where you tell them they can make the money back with one guest only, haha funny. 27 out of 53 paid for the listing, suuuure This was maybe possible back in 2000 but def. not today.

Great writeup, though I'm not sure how well that email would actually convert. You would have better success nowadays to make a five minute phone call to each hotel.

I guess you haven't made much money...it works, I have done it last year. You can do this with any small business.

Very creative story. Good stuff!

...You can get a lot more, that is on the cheaper end, especially if your site is getting a lot of visitors.

solid method. Nothing like some offline marketing

I have an idea to jumpstart this project although I know this could be morally wrong and may only be short term, but what if you bought 10k-100k pageviews/unique visitors from someone in the services section and sent them those stats or screenshots. If they ask for keywords just say you can't release that information. Granted, they won't be getting any referrals from your website but hey why not.

What do you think? Have I missed an angle?

BH is about being clever,not fraud.

Well I guess you would do that but that would be kind of cheating wouldnt it be? If you can do it legitimately why do it the wrong way? Just my $.02

exactly..

Interesting method. I just did a random search for travel destinations around the world and found [hotels in X] with 27,100 exact searches. Competitions seems pretty easy to beat on the SERPs as well.

Jeevs-- can you talk more on how you contacted the hotel managers? Where did you find the emails for the managers?

I have mentioned that in the post buddy...

solid method OP

on the flip side of the coin, i just checked every possible city/town/hillstation of india and plugged "hotels in" in front of the city/town/hillstation in market samurai and filtered out the results of 12100 searches and checked them manually .. from the results which i saw none is a pr 0 site almost all looked like established sites with some pr although very beatbale though since most have footer sidewide links .I sense a troll from ur side IMHO dont tell me u achieved a pr within few days...all domains are old domains with nice pr

and believe me i m gud at reverse engineering , dont go by my join date

anyways thanks for sharing the method though

Then you must be aware of Google dance,and I doubt you searched for the "Exact" place where I went...I never said my site was stable at #2!n who the hell is talking abt pr?? its like 2007 concept nw...its 2011 going on..visitors matters

Edit-they don't even care n I guess don't even know abt pr..only visitors count!

One of the best threads of this week because it simply shows what must be done.

hmm google dance hmm..maybe possible ! yeah i know pr doesnt matter these days but lack of pr 0 prompted me to say that

and yeah i pretty much covered city/town/hill station given in wikipedia..must be 300-400 of them and cities with such a high number of searches are only a few that are major ones

anyways u might be saying the truth but not enough to convince me..you dont need to convince me either anyways

bottomline is this is a solid method ..so kudos to u for that

Thanks,,n yes I don't need to convince anyone..I have the money The method was for that only!

Nice job. The keyword has a CPC of $4.56. so now put adsense and maximize the profit.

I thought about that but I think it would kill the professionalism of the site..may be I will come up with some tiers of subscriptions,some more twists n turns and then will think about adsense Thanks for the contri

 

[Jeevs]

I am getting few PMs asking some queries related to this,replied to all,after 1-2 days I will sum up all those and will come up with F.A.Q on this..that would help the members.

 

[Jeevs]

I have made a list of 14 F.A.Q on this thread,the queries I received through PMs and posts ,if you want your question to be listed,please post it here or PM me,it would be answered and would be beneficial for fellow members.Thanks

You aren't that smart based on what you have posted so far. PR does NOT dictate the ranking, those are two completely different things. I have outranked PR 6s with a PR 0 site, it isn't that hard.

 

[dabeast]

is it possible to do without visiting hotels, from where u get the email ids of managers ?

also u said Profit is not made in a day,this whole process took near about 3 months. on the other hand u told it took 1 month to rank..can u explain this further ?

and how many days did u wait before u remove the listing of the hotel which ddint reply ?
thanks in advance

yeah..when he said he is not a newbie I believed,but I guess I was wrong..some people here are really confused about pr of a site,recently G has updated the PRs and many sites jumped up from pr0 to pr x,,,without any significant difference in traffic.
