FAQ

I get a slot. How much time do I have to pay for it?

You have to pay for the slot within 3 days.

How quickly will I get a backlink?

It usually takes 8-9 weeks from domain purchase to backlinking to client sites. During this time, the domain is received from the registrar (sometimes, the process takes up to 2 weeks), then we build a website, and it runs without backlinks for a while. This is to have the best SEO results from backlinks.

Will I get homepage links?

Yes, you are guaranteed to receive a homepage link. If you have purchased 2 slots, you can link to two different sites.

Are there any restrictions?

Yes. You must not use Shared.Domains in connection with any product, service, transaction, or any other related activity that involves:

  • sexually-oriented or pornographic products or services
  • products/services that promote hate, violence, harassment or abuse, if illegal
  • weapons and munitions
  • prescription drugs, illegal drugs or substances designed to mimic illegal drugs
  • multi-level marketing or pyramid schemes
  • stolen goods including digital and virtual goods
  • items that infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, right of publicity or privacy or any other proprietary right under the laws of any
  • jurisdiction
  • hacking, warez, cheat codes, unlicensed software, download, app, apk
  • sites that relate to actions that show the personal information of third parties
  • any kind of spam services
  • involve sale of fakes
  • sites that facilitate any viruses, trojan horses, worms or other computer programming routines that may damage
  • any other illegal products and services
Do you re-build sites from the web.archive.org?

We do not re-build sites from web.archive.org to avoid violation of third-party rights, even if those entities do not exist. For example, if a company, that used to install solar panels in the past, has not renewed its domain, we will not use this company’s logo or contacts. In this case, we will write new informative articles related to alternative energy.

Can I submit my article with backlinks?

Absolutely. Moreover, it’s for free! If you have a slot on a particular domain, you can submit one article per year. If you have more slots, we are ready to post more articles from you! However, to post an article with links to your site(s), you must first submit an article without links. This is to indicate the site contains not only paid articles but also link-free articles.

Here’s a list of our requirements for submitting an article on Shared Domains.

  1. The length of your article should not be less than 4000 characters (700 words).
  2. The article must include 2 images (at least).
  3. The article must have 2 or more H2 subheadings, title tags, and meta description tags.
  4. Your featured image must not be less than 1024 x 768 in size.
  5. Your article must be unique, original, and relevant to the website content.
  6. We do not accept images taken from Google. You can use free stock images from sites like Pexels, Pixabay, Unsplash, etc. However, we always ask our guest writers to make sure they can be used without backlinks or fees.
How pre-orders work?

You choose how much you want to pay for a link from a particular domain. You can find more information on this in the “How It Works” section on the site.

Why do I need a Telegram bot?

The Telegram bot allows you to make pre-orders without having to log in. To use it, add @shared.domains and press /start.

How many outbound links per domain on average?

On average, each site gets 12 homepage links.

I forgot my password, how do I recover it?

You will receive the link via the Telegram bot, in case you can’t log in for any reason – just drop us an email, and we will reset your password manually.

How often can I replace links?

To avoid frequent link changes, the minimum period of link replacement is six months. We can remove any link at your request whenever you want.

May I see examples?

You can visit usmemorialday.org to see how backlinks will be placed (see the logos in the footer). Note that we have nothing to do with this website or any links posted on it.

If a site is down, how quickly can you get it up and running?

When it comes to websites, no matter how reliable your hosting provider is, sometimes, failures are simply inevitable. However, we closely monitor each website, and if it becomes unavailable, we will immediately contact the hosting provider to fix it.

Do you block your sites from AhrefsBot and other backlink checker bots?

Yes, we do.

What are your requirements for links, image format/size?

This information will be specified as soon as the domain becomes available for link placement.

Can I refuse a slot I’ve won?

Yes. All previously purchased slots will remain valid, but your ability to participate in new auctions will be suspended. We follow the same policy as Godaddy does. They do not have the option to refuse a purchased domain (in case of non-payment, they ban an account).

Do you have an affiliate program?

Yes, we do. By accepting the terms of the affiliate program, you get a unique link for your leads to register. Also, if you wish, we can provide you with your personal promo code.

Can I resell links to third parties?

Public sharing of domains to third parties is prohibited. You can place a link for your client, but only if you do not publicly spread the website address.

Can I transfer slots, for example, when selling the site?

Yes, the mechanism of transferring slots from one account to another is supported by our service. Please, contact our support team for more detailed information on slot transfer.

Domains are expensive and can be sold easily. What guarantee is there that you won’t steal the domains?
  1. We have earnest intentions and are committed to long-term cooperation. The company Shared Domains OÜ (16078560) is legally registered.
  2. Many participants have already obtained links.

And even if we had malicious intentions, we still would not be able to exploit it. That’s all because domains lose their attractiveness to buyers as soon as they are used for linking.

  1. We are dedicated to growing and maintaining sites so that they give a positive effect to participants. Only in this case, the participants will pay a fee for the annual renewal. For this reason, we strive to offer top and pure domains.
You place up to 20 links from the home page of each domain, isn’t that excessive? How many outbound links on average do you get from each domain?

On average, each domain results in 12-15 links from the home page.
We often see sites that have 80-200 links from the main page and cost $300-500 per year. So, 20 links is not much.

I can’t subscribe to the bot, when I press /start, I get an error “Can’t find your username on Shared Domains”

Please check if your Telegram nick is correct in your personal profile on shared.domains. Letter case is important.
