Niche Review Sites = Free Organic Traffic
Imagine a site with 100 different, yet highly related products with accompanying reviews. Now imagine that 80-90% of the content within the site is generated solely by external users. Finally imagine each of those products having their own SEO optimized page containing your own affiliate product links. I don’t know about you, but I think that could bring in some very nice profits.
Over the past few months I have been experimenting with creating what I call “Niche Review Sites”. Basically I setup a site based on a tight group of niche products and provide product details and a few reviews. Each product gets its own page which displays the information, photos, etc. But these pages also allow users to leave their own ratings and reviews.
In my case I started with niches that I had some interest in so that I could write a few product reviews myself to generate the initial content. However this content could just as easily be outsourced for those looking to scale this method…something I am considering in the future. These initial reviews and product pages have embedded links and banners that are affiliate links to the product being discussed making the path to purchase as direct as possible.
Now once you have your initial content developed, you can begin to advertise and link build to increase traffic and off-page SEO. On-page SEO is something that I paid close attention to when developing my site template and because of this I started to see traffic from Google and the likes in a matter of a week or so! Traffic which ultimately could do one of three things: 1) write a review of the product which adds to the unique page content, great for SEO. 2) Click an affiliate link and make a purchase, great for making some money. 3) Read the review and be on their way…not so good, but not every user will obviously convert.
I’ve only begun testing this idea out with a single product page with already developed content including a review and additional user reviews and the results have been encouraging. Just that single product page is bringing in 75 unique visitors a month from just organic sources….free traffic! Now imagine if I fully develop the site and have 100 products all producing 75 unique visitors a month? That’s over 2200 unique visitors a month!! 2200 potential user reviews or affiliate commissions.
My plan now is to expand my test to include a full group of niche products and see what types of conversions and traffic the site can muster. My question to everyone reading is would you be interested in a product/script that you could use to setup a complete niche review site? Setup the script, upload a logo, pick a template and add products. No site building or HTML knowledge necessary. Leave a comment and let me know if you’d be interested in such a product.

This is a great way to get a new source of income for sure. I’ve done this with a few products, but I haven’t put the effort into making it a constant income stream. Mostly because affiliate marketing is harder for a lot of people, and my conversions aren’t great :p
Keep us updated on how this goes for you, as you might motivate me to get back into it again

You have a great idea. Keep testing, and let us know how it goes.
To answer your question. yes, as long as it can be use for any niche. Knowing me, I would make more than one niche site from the script.

This idea sounds great and it’s something I’ve been meaning to try myself. These kind of sites are great to users, as they provide genuine, quality info about a product they did a search for.
Personally, I would build the site my self, but I’m positive many people with less technical skills would love an easy to use script. I think you have a winner here!

not a bad idea…
The great thing about this is that with enough link building you can get to a comfortable spot in the SERPS then just forget about the site! after a while it will just be free money with very little maintenance! -

Excellent way to describe the way to go, I did manage to do something similar, it was just a matter of time. If you allow time to do its job and create quality content then you are set up for success.
Keep the great job

I totally agree with the post. That’s exactly how we ramped up our traffic at Fun’N'Love (http://www.funnlove.com). People discovered us, blogged out the site, and now we have tons of new users.

It’s hard to admit, but yes I am afraid of my own projects. Afraid that they will take too long to complete; Afraid that they will never be successful; And afraid that I don’t have the knowhow to do everything that needs to be done to make them successful. I’d like to think that I’m not alone and that those of you that have never really had a largely successful website are having similar fears and doubts. But the better thing to think about is how to overcome these fears and take the necessary actions to bring my ideas to life.

There are lots of untapped niche keywords that SEO marketers haven’t used. My colleague recomended me to use Micro Niche Finder Tool to look for niche keywords.
