The goal is to find low-quality and relatively weak websites that ALREADY rank on Google, get decent traffic and send users to affiliate programs. Let's see who is externally linking to Amazon.

Step 1. Plug http://amzn.to into Ahrefs' Site Explorer and go to the Backlinks report.

Step 2. Use some filters.
• Filter page traffic ( let's say >100 )
• Low DR ( for example <20 )
• Language ( English ) ~ I prefer English Language, but you can use the one you are comfortable with

Step 3. Switch to one link per domain.

Step 4. Manually check all the websites to find interesting websites/niches.

Note: It's time-consuming, but you will be surprised by some of the findings.

Here are some interesting niches that I found ( in 5 min ):
• Car window tinting
• Everything about pizza
• Faith
• Self tanning
• Maternity dresses

You can tweak it and play with the filters until you find the best results.

Replace http:// amzn. to with any other affiliate network short link.
Some examples:
• http:// shrsl. com for ShareASale
• http:// alnk .to for AvantLink

Good luck and happy niche hunting!

The past couple of weeks there's been an influx of sweet methods on the forum and this is not am exception.

This is a sign that the new year is going to be great for us all. :p

I remember using this method a while ago to look for nice paying offers.

Use crakrevenue domains instead of Amazon, it didn't even cross my mind to try affiliate networks and their domains.

Thank you.
 
This is a great guide. Read it 2 hours ago on twitter
 
Good share dude!
This helps a lot to suggest some of them to find niches!! Thanks :)
 
When you read good keyword research, it's just like finding gold mine.

Thank you mate!
 
@SoccerLover pretty dope share!
I recommend people to pay Ahrefs to access their tool because group buy Ahref tools don't work great with this amount of data.

Why does it have to be a short link and where do we get the affiliate network shortlinks from?
 
Is it possible to find low DR sites using mediavine,adthrive and ezoic also?
 
Is there a free plan for Ahrefs ? Can't manage to use it without paying :(
 
This is a great idea, but I only have the free account on ahrefs, so it will not work
