People come to me (in mainstream) saying they want to rank for a term, in order to drive sales or capture leads.

Instead of taking payment and giving up methods for how I do it, we come to an agreement on how much they're willing to pay per lead/action/sale.

Then, the site I get ranked is my own. If the customer flakes on payment, the leads/sales go elsewhere.

Good SEOs will rarely be willing to rank someone elses site. If they're so sure they can get ranked for some ubercompetitive real estate or mortgage term they'd just get themselves ranked, send the traffic to an affiliate program, and watch the checks roll in.

Ameriquest pays something like $35/lead. That means the top spots on Google for refinance terms are worth something like a few grand a day. What amount of payment would someone be willing to accept in order to do this *for someone else*? $100k? $500k?

Think about it.
