The directory hijacking: monetizing tool directories
There are hundreds of directories « alternatives to [major software] », curation sites, and weekly tool newsletters. They classify solutions neutrally without earning much. Offer them to activate affiliation on their outbound links.
Why it works
This traffic is of exceptional quality: the visitor is actively looking for a solution and comparing. And the publisher, once they earn money from your link, has a direct interest in moving you up in their rankings — which compounds over time.
