    Hello friends!

    I'm excited! I just finished designing the layout of my new website to market amazon products.

    The URL is http://www.theglounge.com

    Do you HONESTLY think that such a landing page will convert? :)

    Please take a look & tell me how is it :) This is my first attempt at affiliate marketing & so it would be great if you cud post some tips here for me to follow :)

    Thanks everybody :)
    Cheers!

    Thank you too @ ingridk :)

    I'm looking for more expert opinions like whether the page will convert or not, and whether I should add more amazon widgets in the sidebar. Personally I think more widgets will confuse the buyer, and hence its better to use only the 'BUY NOW' link that too on the product review page. What do you guys think? :)

    Love the site. I would put more links from your article about Playstation to Amazon. So something like:

    I thought it was a blog actually.... it doesnt look like a typical landing page...

    Maybe you should hang a blog off the back/side of it and use to bring in traffic?

    I think the design is great. I wish I could create such sharp looking lp's.

    Regarding the left navigation, if you're not using it now, don't go live with it on. I was very confused when I clicked those links. I would add some more "original" content pages, not generated by Amazon/amazon content. I normally satisfy quality scores with Privacy Policies and a Contact page.

    Any thoughts on adding some adsense (468x60) at the bottom of the page? Amazon commissions aren't always the best. At least the adsense could generate some revenue for you, quickly.

    It looks really good. I notced the buy it now button on the left isnt working. The most important thing is to keep adding uniquely writting product reviews to the site on a daily basis to get good rankings.

    Its not really a landing page. More of a blog full of product reviews. The design is great, and with good SEO, advertising and lots of content in a years time you could be seeing good results.

    Looks nice but now the real test is how does it convert? ;)

    Try bidding on things like [buy ps3] and such. Link directly to the article.

    Let us know how it works out for you!

    exactly..if you are using this as a landing page, you are going to lose money.

    search you keyword and click on the Ads to see how other people create you landing page, that will give you a simple idea on what is working. and then keep on modifying and testing to get a perfect landing page..

    lose the adsense ads, it will hurt conversion rate..and you do not have a call for action

    how are you planning on getting traffic? PPC or organic ?

    id probably get rid of the amazon button at the top right, as well as all the other reference to amazon besides the actual link to the product you are reviewing.

    nice looking layout.
