Section Three: General Compilations or Topics

The difference between compilations or Topics and tags is that these compilations change automatically whenever a new popular game appears, and the order of these lists changes according to the number of downloads that each application or game receives.

It is worth noting that this helps the site have pages with dynamic content, which forces search engines to prefer these pages over sites that have static content in the form of fixed information.

Section Six: Mobile version

The site has a special version for mobile phones with its own link structure. This version is much faster than the desktop version, as the site relies on accelerated pages from Google or AMP, and this helps the site to occupy the first results in Google for the most difficult keywords, especially since this field has most operations. The research carried out in it is carried out through mobile phones.

Now we reach the most important part of this article

How can you build a website similar to Apkpure

And competition for a share of these visits?

The first step: hosting and intellectual property rights

To create a website in a similar field, your site may receive requests to delete some links from some companies that own the intellectual property rights to the applications and games that you publish on your site.

More importantly, sometimes some companies may ask the hosting company for your site to delete your site from their servers for publishing material that they consider to be a violation of intellectual property rights. For this specific reason, you must host your site on servers that do not accept DMCA requests.

These servers do not receive DMCA requests and do not care about them because they believe in the right to freedom of expression and publishing content without restrictions, and these servers are called DMCA IGNORED DEDICATED SERVERS

This is one of the companies that provide this service: Alexhost

You can use this company or other companies that provide the same service in order to avoid deleting any of your website content in the future.

NB : Sharing APK copies of applications and games available for free on the Google Play Store does not violate any copyright, but some companies do not prefer to download their application from outside the Google Play Store and for this reason only we recommend using this type of server.

Copy the content of APK applications using Python

In this regard, we recommend using Scrapy library Free to make your own scrapper.

This will require a lot of time and manual effort from you, especially if you want to compete at this global level. Therefore, it would be better to create the programming for your site from scratch and take into account the process of automating the process of withdrawing and adding content to your site, in addition to uploading and adding links to download APK copies in a manner Automatically access application pages.
