What is SiteVestors.com?
SiteVestors are a new affiliate program describe themselves like this:

SiteVestors.com is a marketplace for individuals and organizations interested in buying and selling established websites and premium domain names. With over 500 Million registered domain names worldwide there will always be a growing market for people interested in selling websites and domains.

In other words, they are a ‘Domaining’ website; but also sell sites that are more developed. Their affiliate program has two possible earning methods.

1. SiteVestors pay a flat rate of 25% on all sales made through your affiliate link.

2. You can refer affiliates. You earn 5% of your referrals sales (there is no ’second tier’).

SiteVestors is a very young affiliate program and as a result there is little ‘chatter’ about it on the net. This eliminates a major method I use to evaluate a site, which is seeing if anyone has had a bad experience and has accused a site of being an internet scam.

However there is a flipside to SiteVestors youthfulness. Super affiliates often say that the way to do well with an affiliate program is to get in early and snatch up easy affiliates. This is true with SiteVestors to some extent, however the pay rate for making referrals in only 5% and there is only a single tier. Of course it is easier to make actual sales if you ‘get in early’ because there is less competition and that would probably pay more handsomely.

Promotional tools wise they are satisfactory as usual. Banners like the one above are included, as well as some text links and also PPC phrases to use.

So far it looks pretty good for SiteVestors, but there are few little snags that drag them down. One of these annoyances is that affiliates cannot log on via the log in menu for actual buyers and sellers. I had to go to Google and type ‘Sitevests affiliate login’ to find the login page. (Admittedly I didn’t spend very long looking for it on site).

The second oddity is on the SiteVestors homepage. In the ‘recent website sales’ there was apparently a sale for $23456. Is that really true SiteVestors? 23456 seems a bit suspicious. My gut tells me that SiteVestors are such a new program they are having to make up sales, but don’t take my word for it.

Conclusion
Given the lack of talk about SiteVestors on the net it is impossible to tell whether it is an Internet scam or not. I would say it is a new site that has potential. It has not made it to my ‘recommended affiliate programs’ section because of the lack of proof that they are not an Internet scam. They need to develop more trust and built a reputation. In the future if they continue to develop I will re-review them and maybe they will make it to my recommended affiliate programs section.
