About the Domain:

This domain is dedicated to the Andrew J. Volstead House that is located in Granite Falls, Minnesota. A home and now museum where “The Father Of The Prohibition ”and ten-term United States Congressman, Andrew Volstead  lived. 

A brief history of “The Father Of The Prohibition”:

While the “Volstead Act” is remembered, the name of the architect of that legislation is not. He was Andrew John Volstead, a member of the House of Representatives for 10 terms. Volstead was a representative from Minnesota. He was born in that state on October 31, 1859, the son of Norwegian immigrants. He attended the public schools, then studied at St. Olaf’s College, in Northfield, Minn., before transferring to Decorah Institute, in Decorah, Iowa. Volstead graduated from that institution in 1881. After studying law on his own (while employed as a schoolteacher), he was admitted to the bar in 1883, commencing practice in Lac qui Parle County, Minn. In 1894, he was married to a schoolteacher and assistant county auditor, Nellie Gilruth who was born in Scotland; and a daughter, Laura, was born to the couple the following year. Laura received a law degree and served as secretary to her father.

The site is 10 years old and was designed to inform tourists about  upcoming tours, providing a brief history of the museum and the family who lived there, along with Prohibition history. The  Andrew J. Volstead House Museum had a variety of events taking place over the years, from escape rooms and more.

As you can see, there has been a huge amount of growth over the years, especially during the 100th Prohibition anniversary back in 2020. 

Backlink Relevance:

Having backlink relevancy is important. A check through SemRush will need to be performed for us to see what the backlink relevancy is. So, let’s take a look:

We are definitely seeing relevancy!

Clean Up:

Every aged domain typically requires a clean-up process. Often, quality backlinks would be pointed toward internal pages of the aged domain. These typically would need to be recreated and redirected. A clean-up process is necessary in order for us to retain the authority (link juice) of the domain with as much relevancy as possible.

We are seeing many internal pages are getting quality backlinks, meaning these will need to be recreated and page-to-page redirected.

Anchor Text Profile:

The anchor text profile can tell us a lot about the health of the domain. A thorough inspection is required when it comes to aged domains in particular.

Ideally, once you have filtered the referring domain from highest to lowest on the anchor texts, you should expect to see either a naked anchor text at the top (e.g www.site.com) or the name of the site (e.g Niche Website Builders)

So, let’s take a look at the anchor text profile:

As you can see, we are seeing branded anchor texts right at the top, which is excellent!
Also, we are not seeing anything that shouldn’t be there and that’s not relevant to the niche.

The Strategy

When building content sites we generally recommend starting with informational content. Why? Because you can rank informational content more quickly and easily than commercial content. This allows the site to start gaining some traction before adding affiliate-based content or other monetary streams.

The faster you can build up traffic, the quicker you can start making some money with the site through Ad revenue. And when a site starts making money, you can use this income to supplement or cover any future growth. 

Once the site has gained some momentum you can start adding in other revenue streams such as affiliate offers.
