The Undercover Spy Lab
In this lab, we examine a site that has been sold and see how we can replicate the results (without all the guesswork.)
The Site – ProjectorLabs.com
Flippa Listing - https://flippa.com/10075448-projectorlabs-com
Date Sold - 18th January 2019
Price Sold For - $10,110
Age of Site When Sold – 11 Months
Details – Here's a great example of a five figure flip. The site is only 11 months old, has just 32 articles on it and zero backlinks have been built. Yet it sold for over $10k and has only been making money for a few months.
Keywords Targeted – It targets keywords related to projectors.
Backlinks – The seller says they have built zero backlinks to it and it is ranking on content alone. MajesticSEO is only reporting a few links, so this is probably true.
What My Plan Would Be To Clone The Results – I would set up a brand new site using a domain name that had the word 'projector' in it. I would then create 3,000 word content posts that target relevant keywords and place Amazon native ads on each page. I would most likely need to have 40+ posts on the site to become more of an authority but these can be added on an ongoing basis.
I would use social, Web 2.0 and PBN links to rank the site over the course of 12+ months. I would heavily focus on getting topically related and thematically related backlinks.
The aim would be to get to $1,000+ per month in profit and then sell for $30,000 - $40,000.
The Sniper Lab
The Sniper Lab is all about creating small 3-5 page websites that target buyer keywords with an Exact Match Domain (EMD).
You simply browse the Amazon marketplace to find products, then put those into the Google keyword planner and see what searches come up. Find one that gets 250+ searches a month that has a .com available domain and you're good to go!
You can use a free keyword tool like this one to get more accurate search volumes than the Google keyword planner now gives you.
These are really simple sites to make and each can make you 4 figures in profit when you sell them. They make great additions to add to your Amazon empire.

Here are some domains you can use right now (each one is available as I'm typing this and haven't been used in the last 5 years):
projector200inch.com - 70 searches per month
projectorheadlamps.net - 90 searches per month
projectorvgacable.com - 110 searches per month
projector120inch.com - 110 searches per month
projector20000lumens.com - 110 searches per month
projector1800lumens.com - 140 searches per month
projectorunder100.com - 140 searches per month
projectormachine.com - 170 searches per month
projector4500lumens.com - 170 searches per month
projectorscreenprice.net - 210 searches per month
These will obviously be snapped up fast by members but give you an idea of what to look for. A new list will be added every month.
The Ranking Lab
Getting Traffic From Instagram
If you receive my emails or check out my blog, then you probably know I've really taken to Instagram recently.
My account has just passed the 8,000 follower mark and is growing by 350 people a day.
I haven't hardly monetized it yet but the engagement on the platform is huge.
Which brings me on to the point of this tip, it's a great platform to get traffic to your Amazon affiliate sites.
All you need to do is post or share viral images and videos within your niche and you'll get followers. They will click the link in your Bio, visit your Amazon site and hopefully make a purchase.
It's 100% free traffic that only takes a small amount of time to set up.
So here's what to do:
- Create your Instagram account and name it something related to your niche or Amazon affiliate site.
- Then post daily 1-5 times. This can just be a share of someone else's post. Make sure you credit them by adding their @username in your caption.
- Find other related Instagram pages, like, comment and follow them. Try and do this daily, it only takes a few minutes.
- Find other related pages that have more than 10,000 followers and ask them if they use engagement groups and if you can be added. These are just groups of similar accounts that like and comment on each others posts. If you can get added to some, make sure you do actually go and like and comment on their posts and they will do the same for you. Engagement groups are a great way to grow fast.
- Keep repeating the above until you get 10,000 followers. Then you can add URL links in your Stories, not just your Bio. So you can send people to different pages on your website, promoting different products.
Getting this free traffic can be faster than SEO, make you sales quicker and means you could potentially sell your sites a lot faster too. You'll just have to include the Instagram account with the sale.
Try it out, it's very addictive seeing your follower number rise by hundreds of people every day!
The Q and A Lab
Questions that have been sent in this month:
Q – Are you doing anything different with your website content?
A – I do try and make my content longer these days. It really helps to cram in more keywords but also for ranking too. 1,000 words should be the minimum on any money page and if you can, then 3,000 words a page will get you a long way.
Q – Can I rent links on your PBN?
A – Building up a PBN takes a lot of time and effort. Plus you need to be very careful with how you do the linking to each money site. That's why I don't rent out my PBN as it's just too risky and hard to keep track of.
Q – Are guest posts as effective as PBN links?
A – Guest posts can be really powerful. You don't get the homepage link juice as most posts will be inner pages on the site but you can get good optimization points from them. Just make sure the website will add your main keywords in the URL and/or title of the page, otherwise they won't be worth having. They do help to mix up the links you get, so that they aren't all from small PBN websites.
