Do you need feedback on your site to see if you’re on the right track?

Steve, you can often get a banner ad for the site you're affiliated with and place it on your website. I think that is probably the only way to achieve what you want. I have such an ad in my side column for the PGAtour Superstore on my golf website.
That sounds good but my site is fairly new. Impressions are growing at a good pace I think. How much traffic would you need before placing an ad banner?
Once you are affiliated with a particular company you can access their banner ad material straight away. They will usually also contact you when they have "special offer" ads available. You can add that to your website as soon as you can to give visitors the option of purchasing a product.
Hi Steve
Some sites will allow you to create affiliate links for an entire page of similar products, like Stratocaster guitars on sale, etc., through their deep linking tool.
You can check with the site.
In particular, Amazon gives you credit for any product someone buys in any category within 24 hours after clicking on your affiliate link, with some exceptions.

Yes, that’s what I’m trying to do. Right now I’m linking individual musical products inside my content but was thinking of places like Guitar Center, Reverb, and Sam Ash.

Are there affiliate programs where you can link to a whole site rather than a single product ?

I'd say you'd check to check the individual programs within your niche topic as they are all different.

Hi Steve,
Yes, I have.
The concept is simple.
Aquire a domain in a related niche that has some authority based on its age and quality backlinks.
It’s important to do some due diligence with the domains history and ensure it wasn't hacked or used for malicious purposes.
A real simple way to do this is check it via https://archive.org
While there are some commercial places such as Flippa, Sedo, or GoDaddy Auctions to purchase domains, in my experience, these places are not very good for domain purchases as the lack of quality outweigh any decent ones.
There are places such as Facebook groups and Odys that in my experience are much better.

Thanks Jay. I’m still a newbie and wouldn’t think of doing that at this stage but I do find it interesting. Maybe down the road I might play around with it.
No prob. I added the disclaimer because I’m always being accused of being distracted every time I ask a question. I’m naturally curious like most of us. We all listen to podcasts, audio books, YT videos, and of course read books.
I compare it to driving: you primarily focus on the road ahead, but occasionally check your mirrors to stay aware of your surroundings.
What many guru's have been doing is buying domains that were hit by the google updates, is that what you mean?
And then hoping that the néxt google update would get the traffic back up again.
Sometimes people create a whole different domain, and then redirect their site to the new domain, and I have seen messages where they said that it worked, initially.
Untill the next google update lol
Moral of the story: keep expanding to other traffic sources, learn how to gather newsletter subscriptions, learn how to work with social media, etc.
Just buying another site and backlink it to your own? I think that would only work if the site that you bought was already a site with a high DA.
Other then that I would rather focus on parasite platforms for backlinks, like Medium, Linkedn, etc
I didn’t hear anything about domains hit by updates. Sounds to me like they are getting an aged domain for the good backlinks and to have a quicker DA. In this way, they’re ranked higher faster.
Lots of domains have been hit in the last September 23 update and again in March 24 update. Just a small percentage has recovered,and even then just partly.
So those aged domains might not even be worth the backlinks anymore.
You would have to be a pro in the numbers on GA4 to be able to see if you are buying a good domain, are you?
You can check it out on Semrush, for example.
Furthermore, this is chat gpt answer on buying domains and their prices. Are you willing to go there,just to get your OWN site ,maybe, ranking higher?
The cost of purchasing a domain with a high Domain Authority (DA) can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the specific DA score, the niche, keyword relevance, backlinks, traffic, and market demand. On average:
Mid-range DA (30-50): Domains with moderate DA and some backlinks or traffic might range from $500 to $5,000.
High DA (50+): Domains with very high DA, strong backlinks, and significant traffic or keyword value could cost between $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on their popularity and potential business value.
Premium domains with high DA in competitive industries (e.g., finance, technology) can fetch even higher prices, sometimes exceeding $100,000.
Additionally, domain marketplaces like Flippa, Sedo, or GoDaddy Auctions are popular platforms where these domains are bought and sold, and prices often reflect the bidding activity and interest from multiple buyers.
Hi Lizzy
I agree with you.
Yeah, that is the point of buying an aged domain with a high domain authority and excellent do-follow backlinks: to redirect it to your site and have its "Google ranking juice" flow into it. Lol 😎
Risky behavior, especially with all the new Google updates!
Frank 🎸
Those prices are low-end; a parked domain related to stock imagery was sold for $250,000 a few years back.
High-end websites cost in the millions.
Abie
Def not at this stage but who knows….later on I might look into it for experimenting new ideas.
Now, with the Bulk Article designer, you can push content faster, so why would I want to get involved in an aged website that I may need to edit and God knows what? There are other search engines than Google, you know.
I like to be ORIGINAL, I would haste away from this.
Abie
Yeah, from what I’ve seen, they have to do some heavy researching to make sure they’re clean. Also, making sure the backlinks are relevant and that there’s no manual penalties. Guessing people do it to get faster rankings.
Do they get a faster ranking!? Or they're perhaps lazy...
(Unless, of course, it is a reputable, top-notch, world-class, well-established website. But those won't come easy!)
In any case, performing due diligence is a must.
Abie
My thinking is they might get faster rankings by doing this but their website still needs to have great content.
A site earning you commissions as long as you can prove income and stats would fetch 20x to 40x its income.
Besides that point, I currently own 300+ domain names, some 10+ years old. I have 49 extremely hot parked domains (Not built upon); I recently received a bid of $250,000 on a single parked domain, but I still didn't sell it because I knew it could fetch more. It is an investment.
Abie
That's how I feel about aged domains, too, Abie. 😎
Unfortunately, Google still has about 80% or more of the total search engine traffic.

Has anyone here ever purchased aged domains to get a leg up on the competition ?
