    Site looks great.

    Another tip - link your images to Amazon too. Start getting backlinks whenever you want to, you can start by creating a DP Signature, blog commenting, social media and more stuff.

    Add more products and keep building backlinks.

    Try to bring your site on first page of Google results.

    Thanks guys! Big help on this forum.

    Now that i got some sort of feedback (I was thinking the .info would send my PR down automatically) I'm gonna get my grind on.

    Another question: How many products are worth the time? I have a list of about 40 products that can go on the site. Is it worth the time to put all of them on there? When do I start my next website - is really what im asking.

    No harm in using a .info, though I rarely use them myself.

    BUT... I checked some of your content and it looks like you haven't written it yourself. There are tons of pages on the web using the same content, which means you'll have a really hard time ranking with these pages. You really should take the time to write unique content for all your pages, or your site will never take off.

    Great site! It is good for you to start backlinks right now.
    About the question of products numbers, I think you can concentrate on four or five products in one site at the very beginning.

    Once you perfect this site. Work on a different niche site on Amazon products. Rinse and repeat :)

    Nine years to start your first make money site? You been smoking pot this whole time or what?

    As for the site, you are going to have a hard time making money with it, when you have basically just scraped the product descriptions.

    Well all my websites were for video game clans, forums, mods and shit. I was young (12-16) Then when i was 18 I started designing websites for clients. It wasn't until this past year or so that i figured out potential auto-piolet money and started learning SEO.

    As for the content goes, I don't have access to all the DJ controllers. I've been scouring for other customer reviews that are solid but didn't quite make it to the front page. Is that okay? I don't have the money to buy, or pay someone who has it to review it.

    edit cant post links: djsoftwarereview . com/blog/vestax-vci100-mk-ii-dj-controller-with-built-in-audio-interface/
    ^he's 4th on google when you search that model and he has the product description on there. (And i think my site is a hell of a lot better)

    Another thing, on the About and Contact pages, i have an ad for Traktor from Native Instruments. Those a screenshots from an adsense ad, and I have it linked to acct. Illegal?

    I also installed Greg's Seo pack for post Title, Description, and Keyword forms on posting pages. I know plugins are looked down upon by designers, but it seemed like it would help. Should i keep it?

    And to answer your other question. Yes I've been smoking pot this whole time. (California)

    Thanks-

    sean

    The site looks good but i have never had success on Amazon associates using .info domain so i usually go for .com or .net, but no harm friend there are some successful .info sites making huge amount with amazon associates.

    The site looks great and really professional! As to the content - you cannot use anything else that is already on the internet if you want to do well in the search engines. You are asking when to start your next site - I would first focus on making this perfect content wise - after all it is your reviews that will draw people in and then sell the products... if another site has the same review and is ranked higher in Google they are likely to get more visitors than you.

    If you can't afford to pay someone to write the content for you, find some reviews of the products online and reword them. Check them in copyscape and if they pass you are good to go. You can find some great content writers on certain websites (PM me if you need help) who will be willing to work for low prices in exchange for good feedback to get them into the content writing network. This will definitely be worth the inital cost if they do a great job and your product reviews start making money. Good luck!

    What sort of keywords are you targetting for your site? Maybe we can help you a bit.

    Typically I would build hubpages first, test each product, when I see my sales threshold, I would only then think about building a blog dedicated to a single product. No need to spend money first.

    Backlinking is important and remember to only backlink to other forums/blogs etc that are releative to the product(s) you are trying to promote. Google is clever these days.

    When you say hub page, do you mean something along the lines of traktorscratchs4review.com?

    By hubpage I mean hubpages.com - It's a free lens service which indexes fast on google.

    That's a lot of keywords...your going to be there for months trying to backlink all these. What is your primary keyword?
