Is it best for a site to focus on one niche?

12 years ago

Generally, a single product is easier to market than a range of products...unless you are a supermarket.

If you do want to look at groups of products, I'd stick to a theme... say, HD TV's, Video Cameras and Video players/recorders as that are all TV related. Digital Cameras and Laptops are not directly related to the range and I would suggest having separate sites for those or removing them from the list.

Thanks, I'm going to take this advice and create a site focusing on one niche.

Especially with Amazon it is really difficult to promote MANY products and be able to RANK high on Google.

With amazon it is better to focus on a group of very related products like: electrical power tools!

Another trick with Amazon is to rank for products that are not yet released!

Thanks

This applys to all niche sites. Don't try to build a wikipedia instead choose one specific niche.

And products that are not released yet are easier to rank but it may be much harder to find information about them and it might take a while before you would start getting sales (you would need to wait for it to get released first).
