Sounds like you have a good approach. I would go for one or two main terms and then put in lots of extra terms in H2′s within the article. It helps them to rank better as they seem more authoritative. Like “Best Price XXX For Sale” etc. Or the other option is to simply go straight for the main product name that is listed on Amazon and go for the longtails in the post. Both ways work.

For the homepage I would go for the broad terms, but mostly concentrate in backlinking to each product post you write about.

Hope that helps and welcome to the site Chris.

Great post I just stumbled on this blog by looking for information on promoting amazon products. I have a few questions about building an authority site. I am in the process of trying to create an authority site based on promoting physical products via WordPress & writing product reviews using the outline below:

Main Topic (Example: Camping Products)

Category 1 (Example: Tents)
Product A Review Page
Product B Review Page
Product C Review Page
Product D Review Page
Product E Review Page

Category 2 (Example: Sleeping Bags)
Product A Review Page
Product B Review Page
Product C Review Page
Product D Review Page
Product E Review Page

Up to 10-15 or so categories

This is not my niche by the way. My question is for each product review page how many keywords should I target? As for my main homepage should I be targeting broad search terms? (Example: Best Camping Gear, Types of Camping Gear…etc.) Am I over analyzing the whole process? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

I would put images and links on all buying keyword posts as it should get sales. Mix up the images if you can or at least make sure you gave them different titles and alt tags if you use them.

I like to interlink a lot of different posts for double listings, but if you link lots of posts up to a min keyword post and backlink all those posts then you have some serious link juice flowing on up.

Results?

Rankings and Moolah

With all of those new posts about the same keyword, are you putting your Amazon product pic and aff link on each of those pages as well? The same pic and link or different variations of the main product (aka the main keyword)? You then link all of those new posts to the main keyword post?

“But darling, I’m a prince!”

Real friends, real biscuits, we iz keepin it well real in da commentz! Or something along those lines…

It’s in your Chrimbo stocking my dear.

I moved on. One thing I learned as I got a little older is that REAL friends are few and far between. They were the ones who laughed at my Wife 2 years ago when she said we were going to make money online. Apparently they had TRIED and you couldn’t do it. Really?

Our earnings goal for the month has already been blown out the water so they were definitely wrong.

But if we are talking REAL biscuits then move over Hob Nobs, a mint Viscount is about to take your place. Or a good ‘ole fashioned Burton’s Wagon Wheel.

Seems like your attitude has really paid off. Going from online surveys to banking mega moolah in just two years…sounds like an expensive ebook in the making!

Are you still in touch with those friends? Are they still moaning about the unfairness of it all? People who refuse to take responsibility – which is most people – annoy the hell out of me. I’ve messed up my life in a dozen different ways, but I don’t blame anybody but myself for it. Well, and my parents for the dodgy chromosomes

Getting all deep here My outlook on life has always been to never waste my money. When I had a real job I always got annoyed by friends who used to moan about us owning our own home and how unfair it was that they couldn’t afford a mortgage. Never mind the fact they earned more than me and the Wife put together. And that I bought houses that needed renovating so we could make money from them.

But we sacrificed going out and pissing it up the wall as we wanted a future. When I had to suffer working with idiots I was damn sure the money I made was going to be put to good use. While others would spend a weeks wage on a shirt.

And now that we have earned enough this month to live on comfortably for two years I am a bit stumped to be honest. I can’t get my head around the fact that two years ago at this time I was sat with a very crappy laptop while the Wife was in the UK earning and I was trying to figure out what a blog was.

Man, I was even taking online surveys to earn a few pennies. 2 years later and, well, it kind of boggles my mind. And I get the feeling we have not even scratched the surface of what this game has to offer.

Next year is going to be exciting to say the least.

I can even afford chocolate Digestives.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
