I have been using the wordpress plugin Reviewazon for a few months now and I have to say I am totally impressed with it. Before I got into it I have used several other niche store builders, mostly Build A Niche Store with ebay but I can make more money with Reviewazon.
For anyone who is not familiar with it Reviewazon is a plugin that enables you to pull Amazon products straight into your wordpress site. There a few ways of displaying them and the ability to use custom templates so with a bit of imagination you can achieve a higly professional website with a great range of items for visitors to buy.
There are many examples of straight out of the box Reviewazon sites making money for their owners but in order to make the most of it you need to be going that extra mile.
Reviewazon grabs the products from the Amazon feed and this can include product descriptions, prices, customer reviews and all sorts of other information which is great but it means that you are simply reproducing a mini Amazon. This is the same problem that many BANS sites suffered from and were consequently de-indexed, so to avoid this fate and make more money with Reviewazon you want to tickle your web posts a little bit.
Change The Title
The first thing you can do is change the titles around, the posts that Reviewazon creates will have the same titles as the main site and so this is a must do thing. As well as the titles the descriptions will also be identical so it will pay you to insert some custom text here to step it up a gear.
To make more money with Reviewazon I create bulk product posts which is simple with a couple of clicks of the mouse but I make sure I save them as drafts, there is a check box for this. Then you simply have to go to edit posts in the wordpress dashboard and work through them.
I pick a post and look at the preview, this tells me what I have got and lets me see what Amazon is feeding me. The first thing to check is the title, as I said you will want to change this to make it more unique but also to ensure that it contains terms that are being searched for so I go to Googles free tool and plug in the brand and model number. There will be a low search count but it is not important, all you are looking for is what people are actually searching for when they want to buy this product.Take the best of the results and make that your post title.
Add Some Unique Content
Now I will go to the product page of the brand site and take a look at the information there. The official site will usually have a whole bunch of information that is not included in the Amazon description so I will take this and then re-write it in my own words being careful to get any technical information correct. When writing this information try to get around 2/3 hundred words of unique content and include the keyword phrase about three or four times, this will give you a good jump in the search engines.
If you are using All in One SEO which you should be, fill in all the boxes and then you can either schedule or publish the post. You will now have an optimised page for a long tail keyword which should bring you buying traffic. These simple tips will help you make more money with Reviewazon.

How much effort do you put into getting more visitors to your website?
If you serious about making money with affiliate programs or just want more people to read your words of wisdom then you will already know how frustrating it can be to see visitors come to your site and leave never to return again.
One way to help your visitor numbers is to provide an easy way for them to keep you in mind.
Using the RSS feed that WordPress provides is one way but for everyone who is not web savvy or an affiliate marketer it is not the best solution, it took me forever to work out what exactly was occuring when I signed up to an RSS feed on some site or other.
If your theme doesn’t provide a button or icon to your RSS feed it is usually at http://www.mydomain.com/feed/
A much simpler and easier to understand is to provide an email subscription with Feedburner. This is a free service from Google which allows the visitor to enter their email address and then automatically recieve an email with your new content.
How To Set Up A Feedburner Subscription
Go to Feedburner set up an account.
Burn a feed: Enter your Rss URL and press next.
Go to the Analyse tab–> Configure stats–Check Item Links
Go to the Optimise tab–>Enable BrowserFriendly, SmartFeed and FeedFlare.
Go to Publicize tab–> Enable Buzzboost,Email Subscriptions,Pingshot,Creative Commons,
On this tab go to NoIndex and make sure both boxes are unchecked, you want your content indexed!
At each save click the “save” button
Now go to the Email Subscription link on the Publicize tab and scroll down to a box of code. Highlight it and click copy, make sure you have all the code!
Now go to your WordPress dashboard and click “Widgets”
Place a text widget into your side bar, mine’s at the top and paste the code your copied into it. Give it a catchy title and you are good to go.

An interesting question was posed on one of the forums I frequent and it generated a little buzz as various people put their 2 cents in.
The question was “Where is my website traffic?”
The member involved had a website which was selling a specific type of jewelry and having done her keyword research and built her site in the N1Way formula had got herself onto page one of Google in 1st place.
Her research showed that the keyword phrase had searches of around 10,000 per month. Now if you go by the rule of 40% she could have expected approximately 4000 visitors per month. Instead she was getting between 7 and 10 uniques a day, about 240 per month.
(40% rule states that number position on Google will get around 40% of the clicks, it’s a method I picked up on the Keyword Academy and it gives a rough indication of visitor expectation)
So, where is her website traffic?
There where various suggestions from checking the Google Trend data to double checking the search figures on Wordtracker and other applications. All these have some validity as search data is not absolute and can vary depending on which data center your query is sent to.
My very brief research showed that although there was a degree of trend effect, it was just after Xmas that she set up the site so, as jewelry is a popular gift the numbers were inflated for the months before. Even so, there was a year long trend for searches in the thousands.
However, and this is just best guess as all things are, could it be that her metadescriptions were so dull and banal that potential visitors were just breezing right past her site to a more enticing one below?
The metadescription is the short piece of text that appears in the search engine below your page listing. Although not guaranteed the search engines often take this from the description you put into your page, if you don’t enter anything the SE’s will pluck a random piece of text from your page and use that.
The problem is when that piece of text is not really relevant to the search enquiry. In this case however she had written in her description but as I said before it did not shout click me.
Don’t Miss Out On Website Traffic
Do not use autogenerated meta descriptions. Take the couple of minutes to craft a short piece of text, around 160 characters which is relevant to your web page but invites interest. This is such a simple way to get more website traffic so why don’t people do it?
I wanted to bring a couple of videos to your attention which spell out (in a funny accent!) one of the tricks that is out there to convince you to buy some of the products being offered around the internet.
