well, some do use paid ads to drive traffic to such sites

Go ahead and m challenge them.Put yourself in audience shoes.What Else you wants to know?put that missing puzzle in.You will win.

First, both pages seem to belong to the exact same person.
Second, with enough traffic that is interested in buying stuff like that online, you will find 1-2 buyers... And ... no, I personally do not think that this is a good approach.

If you make a Webpage and offer products, affiliate possibilities and or services, ask yourself 2 questions: 1. Why anyone should buy from me? 2. How can I generate the trust and connection that they will like me and buy from me?

With that in your mind, you create your content. Give a good part of your quest, journey, desire into it. Talk about yourself and show, hey I am a person like you. People connect to people that they can relate to.

Positioning, Branding, Content-Quality-Marketing of yourself and your services and be available.

This pages on top have none of it. Not even a person that is behind there. So my first feeling to this page is no feeling, my second feeling is to stay away, who knows who is running this.

hope I could support you in your decision which direction for your projects to choose.

Ah and if you need any further services from me, simply connect and contact me.
