Hey Guys,
I have chosen my first niche to promote (yay go newbie go) and I'm very excited to finally put the past 5 or 6 weeks of my training into action. Time to light this candle and get started.
Here's my question (or questions)- I am unsure what type of landing page to set up. The niche is one I am very familiar with, so I have a definite leg up in "speaking the language". Most affiliate sites in this niche, which I look at as a young but booming industry, are poorly designed blogs. There are no well designed sales pages with killer copy, so I am feeling like this is the path I should go down. Before everyone says test, test, test, which I agree with- I am totally confused as to what Google likes/doesn't like. I keep hearing review sites are dead and Google frowns on them. In all my reading, and please correct me if I'm wrong, what Google wants is a website that adds value for the user. Unique content. A reason for someone to be on the website even if you removed your affiliate product(s). That being said, is there even a reason for a straight sales page (when you are selling someone else's product) to exist? If I have a great landing page, awesome copy, but I am just selling someone else's product, is this a workable business model (providing keywords/traffic metrics make sense of course)?
Let me know what you think and thank you!
Gregg
