Newbie’s Guide to Product Review Sites

Newbie’s Guide to Building a Product Review Site

I am a very successful Amazon affiliate.  Because I make part-time online what many folks make at a full-time job, I can do things and have things that others cannot.  For this, I am very thankful.  To read more about my IM experience, visit my About Me page.

As a recognized expert when it comes to earning with the Amazon Associates program, I provide information that comes from experience, not theory.

You’ve almost certainly, by now, heard (or experienced) the recent EMD strike-down.  I can’t say I’m surprised it happened.  It was only a matter of time.  The EMD catastrophe is exactly why I preach "authority-style" sites to everyone.

I own several authority-style product review sites monetized with Amazon affiliate links.  The sites are built far differently than what many “gurus” will suggest.  As a result, I get to spend most of my time actually creating quality content rather than spending endless hours backlinking and researching keywords.  They have also remained largely untouched by the parade of Google updates, including the recent EMD smackdown (since I don’t use EMDs).

I now sell these websites as well.  Click here for details.

The best part is that with just simple social bookmarking, many of my sites are indexed and ranking on page one of Google within 72 hours in most cases.  As such, I am generating affiliate link clicks and commissions within a week of site creation because my traffic is laser-targeted and ready to buy.

This interactive guide is my latest installment in my series of guides and software designed to make your affiliate marketing activities easier and more productive.  What this guide does is provide a new and improved step-by-step tutorial that outlines the steps I take when building a new product review website.  Click here to read about the massive success others are having with this strategy.

The Newbie’s Guide to Product Review Sites is based on my own personal site-build checklist and includes the same great information that was in my blueprint guide plus a whole lot more!  As such, it touches on several topics, providing the latest and greatest information, including live feeds of easy-to-rank products in various niches!  It’s a web-based guide that’s available online only.

I’ve released this as web content to stimulate discussion.  You will see that every page provides a comments" section where you can ask questions and add your own input.  It also provides me the opportunity to offer you future multimedia content such as videos and such as the guide grows.  In addition, you no longer need to worry whether you have the latest version of the guide or not.  As changes in the industry occur, I’ll update this guide with the latest strategies and techniques that I am using.
