They&#8217;re websites that you get to rank in search engines &amp; then rent out to clients for a monthly fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You see, when you <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-start-a-profitable-blog\/\">publish content online<\/a> (like blog posts or website pages), search engines such as Google automatically discover it &amp; list it within their results as an option for people to click on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, as an example, if you created a page about &#8220;<em>computer repair in Manchester<\/em>&#8220;, search engines would list it within their results whenever somebody searched for something related to that phrase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the higher it ranks (meaning the closer to the top it is in the results), the more people you could get arriving at the page from the search engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the idea with rank and rent is that you would create websites targeting phrases like those, get them to rank &amp; then rent them out to businesses who could <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-do-bloggers-make-money-online\/\">make money from the visitors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of the example we just used, you would look to rent that website out to a computer repair service provider in Manchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How much you could rent them for would depend on <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/what-is-a-niche-market\/\">the niche of the website<\/a>, how much <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/what-is-traffic-in-affiliate-marketing\/\">traffic<\/a> (visitors) it gets &amp; the quality of the leads that are coming through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And whilst this sounds kinda cool in theory, there are actually quite a few problems with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Rank And Rent SEO Sucks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the surface, rank and rent SEO seems like a viable concept &amp; to some degree, it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I mean, you could certainly make money by getting a website ranked in search engines &amp; then renting it out to a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, by doing so, you&#8217;re going to be making your life much harder than it needs to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you simply leveraged <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/what-is-affiliate-marketing\/\">affiliate marketing<\/a> instead, you would be able to promote products or services directly from the website for yourself &amp; the benefits of that are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It&#8217;s more flexible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-much-money-can-you-earn-as-an-affiliate\/\">You&#8217;d earn more money<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You won&#8217;t be tied to 1 business<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You see, let&#8217;s think about this for a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concept of ranking &amp; renting websites assumes that ranking a website is easy when, in actual fact, it&#8217;s not&#8230; And it can take quite some time to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But on top of that, it also assumes that finding businesses willing to &#8220;rent&#8221; the websites will be easy, too &amp; I can also tell you that it will not be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, after accomplishing the difficult task of actually ranking the website in the first place, you&#8217;ll then have to spend hours upon hours contacting businesses with a sales pitch, trying to get them to &#8220;rent&#8221; your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then, even once (or IF) you do find somebody to rent the website, you hit another issue, which is that you&#8217;re essentially putting a limit on your income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you decide to rent it for $250 per month &amp; suddenly the website gets a surge in traffic, you won&#8217;t get paid anything extra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas with <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/what-is-affiliate-marketing\/\">affiliate marketing<\/a>, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/is-affiliate-marketing-commission-based\/\">commission based<\/a>, you would be rewarded greatly from the increase in traffic &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-much-money-can-you-earn-as-an-affiliate\/\">earn more money<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, as far as we&#8217;re concerned, the rank and rent method just doesn&#8217;t make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And to make it more clear as to why it doesn&#8217;t make sense, here&#8217;s an overview of the downsides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Downsides of the Rank And Rent Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Requires you to pitch &amp; &#8220;sell&#8221; the idea of renting your website to businesses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Puts a limit on the amount of money you can earn from the website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Income is solely reliant on the 1 company you&#8217;re renting the website to<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if the rank and rent method is so bad, why are so many people talking about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This brings me to&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rank And Rent Courses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you spend any proper amount of time reading about the rank and rent method, you&#8217;ll realize that the people (allegedly) making money from it are all pushing rank and rent courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, this is the real reason rank and rent is getting talked about. It&#8217;s not because it&#8217;s such a great method. It&#8217;s because the folks selling the rank and rent courses are making so much money promoting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And why are they making so much money?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, the answer to that is simple. They&#8217;ve made it seem super easy when, in actual fact, as we&#8217;ve just discussed, it&#8217;s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average person will not make any money at all with rank and rent websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And we are absolutely confident in saying that those that do make money from rank and rent websites would make a LOT more by leveraging <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/what-is-affiliate-marketing\/\">affiliate marketing<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, we encourage you not to fall into the trap of paying for rank and rent courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rank and rent courses are just essentially the digital versions of those &#8220;get a 6 pack in 60 minutes&#8221; type products that you often see advertised on TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those products never work for anybody, but they sound convincing enough to make people give them a try&#8230; And rank and rent is no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rank And Rent Website Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help you get a better idea of what rank and rent websites actually look like &amp; what you&#8217;d be building if you decided to pursue the method, here are some rank and rent website examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Plumbing Rank And Rent Website Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/plumbing-website-1024x690.jpg\" alt=\"Plumbing Website Example\" class=\"wp-image-10243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/plumbing-website-1024x690.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/plumbing-website-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/plumbing-website-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/plumbing-website.jpg 1413w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the surface, you&#8217;d think that you were contacting a business directly when you make a booking or call via this website, but you&#8217;re not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is actually a rank and rent website, meaning that your details will simply be sent to whoever is renting the website at the time you enquire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Supercar Rank And Rent Website Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"616\" src=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/supercar-website-1024x616.jpg\" alt=\"Supercar Website Example\" class=\"wp-image-10244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/supercar-website-1024x616.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/supercar-website-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/supercar-website-768x462.jpg 768w, https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/supercar-website-1536x925.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/supercar-website.jpg 1580w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, this is another website that leads you to believe that you are contacting a business directly, but just like in the previous example, you&#8217;re not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you hit the &#8220;Get A Quote&#8221; button &amp; submit your details, you&#8217;re essentially submitting a lead form which is sent to whoever is renting the website at that current time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Rank And Rent Legal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After seeing those rank and rent website examples, you may be thinking that it&#8217;s pretty sneaky &amp; therefore, potentially illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what&#8217;s the deal, is rank and rent legal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, the good news, at least, is that yes, rank and rent is a legal method for making money online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So long as you&#8217;re not doing anything to purposely deceive the consumer in a way that could cause them to lose money or receive bad service, it&#8217;s perfectly fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this type of marketing, which is known as lead generation, is actually pretty common online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But earning money from it by <strong>renting<\/strong> the websites is, in our opinion, not the most effective way to profit from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should either sell the leads for a price per lead (so that you don&#8217;t restrict your income if traffic increases) or leverage <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/what-is-affiliate-marketing\/\">affiliate marketing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renting the website for a fixed fee just doesn&#8217;t make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst, in theory, you could potentially make some money from ranking and renting websites, we don&#8217;t believe this method is effective as it is portrayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we mentioned earlier, this method can be best compared to those &#8220;get 6 pack abs in 1 hour&#8221; type products that you often see advertised on TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It sounds good on the surface, but you&#8217;re very unlikely to yield the results boasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And even if you do succeed with rank and rent SEO websites, you&#8217;re going to be limiting your income by charging a fixed fee for rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So don&#8217;t do that. Instead, take our advice &amp; leverage <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/what-is-affiliate-marketing\/\">affiliate marketing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/how-to-become-an-affiliate-marketer\/\">affiliate marketer<\/a>, you&#8217;ll be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/blog\/is-affiliate-marketing-commission-based\/\">earn commissions<\/a> from the products or services that you promote so your income will always grow in line with the effort that you put in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the great news is that we actually teach affiliate marketing for free in <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\">our step-by-step course<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if you haven&#8217;t done so already, we recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.academy\/register\/\">signing up for our training<\/a> before you leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But overall, we hope that this post gave you a good insight into how rank and rent websites work &amp; why they may not be such a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you happen to have any further questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The phrase rank and rent has become a bit of a buzzword lately, or should I say buzz &#8220;phrase&#8221;, as many people have begun to claim it&#8217;s the best way to make money online.
