@thehoopsgeek

I've often quoted @thehoopsgeek for being one of the better build "small" affiliate sites.

With 43DR yet 300,000 monthly visitors, they have one of the best, most "practical" implementations of EAT site owners should look to the model.

Here's what you can learn from them 🧵

Their intros highlight the practical product features to look for to answer the problem highlighted by the query.

This doesn't just add topical relevancy that helps you rank up.

It also shows your readers you understand the issue, and they're more likely to convert on your page

They also had another healthy dose of "trust" to their content, all while never getting their hands on the products.

Instead, they use Youtube videos of people who had the product in hand and translate them into standardized scoring.

According to many SEOs, links are still the #1 ranking factor on Google. 🔗

But a lot of the advice on acquiring links is elusive at best. 🤨

So a while ago, we decided to dig DEEP into our internal link-building data, and here's what we learned 🧵👇

Before we start, here's the data set this study is based on:

👉 600,000 emails sent
👉 151,941 websites emailed
👉 80,613 emails opens
👉 23,428 replies
👉 4,306 links built

1️⃣ Open rate is a bad metric for success

Across the 77 campaigns analyzed a pattern emerged:

The best campaigns by open rate were rarely the best campaigns for link acquisition. 😳

So if you only track your open rate to gauge success, you might be missing out.

WordPress powers 30% of all websites. 😳

This makes it a prime target for hackers who want to use your hosting to mine crypto or sell links on your site. ☠️.

If you want to avoid increased hair loss and stress, use this 🧵 to protect your site 👇

And if you think you don't need to protect your site.

If you think this happens to others only, think again.

The last product launch I did, we got hammered by a heavy DDOS attack and it cost us 5 figures easily. 😭

To prevent this you need to challenge the access to your wp-login.php file

This prevents bots from hammering your login form.

It's the #1 method for DDOS attacks & hacks on WP sites.

I'm sure you've seen these javascript challenges before, they look like this:

Many boast about making bank with ads & affiliates. 🤯

But the blogs that make the most money are usually NOT counting on either of these.

In this 🧵, I'll show you real-life examples of $1,000,000+ / year blogs and how they make their money. 👇

First, we've vetted all these tactics and used many ourselves to make millions so you know they're not 💩.

Here's a non-affiliate / ads revenue screenshot to prove it 👇.

@PhotoJosh

1️⃣ Sell e-books & courses like @PhotoJosh from Expertphotography.com

He identified every sub-niche in his main niche.

Then he commissioned a niche product for each.

His store has 18+ E-books and 11+ courses

@vpnmentor

The affiliate site @vpnmentor.com recently sold for $150,000,000. 🤑

That's probably one of the BIGGEST exits for an affiliate site.

It also makes it one of the highest-earning affiliate sites ever.

Let's see what we can learn from them 🧵 👇

1️⃣ They monetize more than "best" roundup reviews

Actually, their top 10 pages don't include ANY roundup reviews.

They're generic how-to guides on topics like "how to get unbanned from Omegle" or "How to delete your Instagram account"

But they're smart. 🤯

For each of these tutorials, they found a way to create a custom CTA that pushed VPN's related to the topic.

They place these CTA's right after the intro and convert "info" traffic to VPN sales.

Here's the CTA they came up with for "best torrent sites" 👇
