The “Review Site” Niche
Posted on February 5th, 2009 in Affiliate Marketing, CPL/CPA Marketing, Internet Marketing, Products Reviewed
I recently had a website/blog built for me by my “custom-built blog” builders, ha ha,…………… I bought it actually. It has nothing to do with the “Make Money Online Niche“. Actually it is in the “Entertainment” niche I am also having them, my “blog builders”,? build me a few “review sites”.
Review sites are a great way of building affiliate income, and stepping into new niches.? People are always trying to find out more about something they want to buy. They research to solve their “problem”, a review site solves their “problem”. That’s all marketing, of any kind is, solving people’s problems with your products.
Oh, you can check out the site I bought here, if you want. its not a review site, by the way.
Review sites can also be relatively easy to build content into, if you have the right software. With the right software, you can make it so visitors provide the content. You let them write their honest reviews and then when people visit, who have not purchased the product yet, it doesn’t look like you’re trying to sell them something, which of course , you are.

You should try to always use a WordPress theme, just because its so SEO friendly, but spending a little money on a ppc campaign every two weeks can’t hurt either, for the first couple of months at least. Now depending on the Niche, you might want to consider PPC as a main way of driving traffic, especially for a niche that has high paying affiliate programs.
Unfortunately, those niches also cost more to advertise in. Now if your are going to invest any money in PPC, you need to understand that there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. I have always said that it is worth spending the money on a product that will help you boost conversions and lower your CPC costs at the same time, and you know I think Commission BluePrint is the product to do it with.
Lets say for example, you started a forex broker review site or a hosting provider review site. These type of affiliate programs pay very nicely, but the market is somewhat saturated, less so than the “make money niche” mind you.
Still you will need to do all the SEO work needed to drive organic free traffic to the sites, because PPC campaigns for these two niches are relatively high.? So employing good Adwords skills and good SEO skills, is the plan. I use a variety of tools to help me do these tasks, which in the end really saved enough money so that, at the very least, the sites/blogs end up costing me zero dollars.
There are literally hundreds of niches out there that this method of affiliate marketing can be applied to, some that pay well and actually don’t cost much to promote via PPC, the trick is to find them. You also are not tied to say just Commission Junction affiliate products. You can build review sites around clickbank products and even use them for CPA marketing.
Peace
