Niche affiliate review sites and a list... Build review sites like a business?

[Jasonsc]

Skip to last paragraph for a simple question.

Is there a point in trying to build a list for nice affiliate review sites, such as a site for promoting a particular line of products on say amazon?

If so, I'm not sure where a landing page would go. It's not like with PPC advertising where you have Keyword(google)->landing page->offer, because its a site for reviews rather than for directing straight to offers. Suggestions?

Is a list even worth while for review sites? Let's take my site from my sig as an example. Let's say I obtain a list from people who visit this site. Do I then direct them to posts on other sites I might make which also have household products and other offers from wherever I find them?
An option perhaps also would be to build a network of separate niche sites relating to different household products and then have one site which acts as a "hub"?

Any thoughts here at all would be great. Basically I'm wondering if there is a way to "sustain" niche sites as more than just advertising the products themselves. What I'm looking for I suppose is a way to meet the needs of a market, rather than to advertise one particular line of products.

Obviously a relation with the market would need to be established. But how do we do this with review sites?

List building can have huge potential. you can direct the people on your list wherever you want to, but if you have a targeted list that is looking for one particular solution and you spam them with irrelevant offers, you will lose them. you are correct that you can have a site that is a general hub, but if you get too general, your traffic becomes less targeted, unless you build a list that trusts you and returns time after time for a market you satisfy.

Thanks nico. What's the best way to make a list with a review site? Pop-ups and registration pages? Because I can't put a landing page between google and my reviews because I imagine that would reduce conversions?
