Thread: Looking to buy an affiliate/landing page site

I have been doing a lot of reading/research/studying on SEO tips and I feel like I would really want to try out some of the things I am learning on a platform where I can make money on commission. If anyone has a review/landingpage/affiliate site that they would like to sell, PM me. Hopefully the things I am learning can turn into profits! I'm not looking to spend a lot of money, I know how little time it takes to make landing pages so I'm not going to shell out 2k or anything ridiculous like that.

I have my own hosting account and I'm a CJ member.

any certain Niche you are looking for?

I'll be honest landing pages really aren't often worth hiring out, unless you want something really customized.

I recommend using wordpress in combination with some simple modified themes such as...

• AppMagic for WordPress
• Coming soon

These are just two off my head. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

I have to agree with this. The traffic is the issue here

Damn, I recently actually read an article explaining why Landing pages aren't effective. Something along the lines of people having no idea what they're signing up for by putting in their email since Landing pages are usually very vague and ineffective.

Good to know about landing pages being ineffective, thanks for the heads up! Would you mind quoting me on doing up something nice with wordpress themes? The only requirement I have I guess is finding a market with decent affiliate programs.



Niche wise I don't really mind what it is, the SEO tips I am learning are not for anything specific.

Use the "products" feature in CJ to see what kind of affiliate offers are available. A lot of times the affiliate products that are offered are already in high competition niches.

Check out Flippa.co m for some established landing page / affiliate / niche sites

Let me know if you have any other questions I can help with

Don't buy one dude. You'll overspend on what is basically a 1 pager.

1st) If you want to make something happen with SEO, a landing page isn't going to cut it (unless your target KW is low traffic & competition).

Google is looking for sites with relevant, recent content- and lots of it. An LP with only a couple pages has no size/footprint to it and will contain very little content which makes it incredibly hard to rank. Backlinks will not make up for your site's on-page shortcomings either.

2nd) You've got your order of operations wrong. You're looking for a landing page and for the most part, you don't care what vertical/niche it's in. Wrong. You have to start with the niche & market research first as well as competition analysis on the search results to see what it's going to take to get a top 3 ranking. For example, if you buy an LP for "Quick Weight Loss" products, good f*ckin luck.

- Research different niche's
- Pick ones you have an interest in because you're going to have to write lots of content about it
- Do competitive analysis on the search results & data for each niche. (Possible KW's, search volume, the SEO profiles of the sites on the 1st page for your KWs)
- Pick the niche that has the highest search volume with the lowest competition
- Build a landing page with a decent site structure.
- Do ALL on-page SEO points (This is HUGE and pays off 10 fold. Makes the ranking process much faster and easier, and keeps you at the top of the heap when it comes to any future algo updates by the search engines. Lots of guys half-ass this part and find themselves scrambling when Google changes their algo.)
- Persistently run PR articles and quality backlinks, keeping in mind a quality link profile.
- $$$

Landing pages are NOT ineffective. They can however completely kill your conversions if you don't know what the hell you're doing with them. Alot of things need a pre-sell (or could benefit in a huge way from a pre-sell), and this is where the landing page comes in. If you can write badass sales copy telling the visitor exactly why and how whatever it is that you're selling is the best sh|t since bar-b-q, you'll make money. Marketing is salesmanship. If you want to close a visitor you need to sell the visitor.

However if you're landing page doesn't match with your visitors frame of mind, doesn't flow, and is overall unconvincing- then yes, landing pages suck. Actually, the landing page wouldn't suck, it would be whoever organized and wrote the sales copy that sucks. True story.

The other option is direct linking, and that's NOT the best option most of the time for several reasons...

Create your own affiliate program. That's where the real money is!
