Will this affect my rankings? (amazon question)

I have a site ranking well in a very specific niche. I noticed that within my niche there is a big demand for certain types of products.

I now want to add a those products to my site, but there is thousands of them. If I use an amazon plugin to import all of these products, will this negatively affect the rankings of my other pages. The amazon products will ofcourse have the same content as the amazon pages they are pulled from and my site will have about a 1000 pages of non-original content.

Good idea, or better not do it?

    Don't do it. I've been testing the Amazon affiliate plugin and I imported hundreds of products into two separate sites. I'd already created around 20 or so articles about these products and the sites were ranking really well. However, not long after I imported the products, both sites tanked, even for long tail keywords.

    I had changed Amazon descriptions for all the products on one site, but not the other, simply to test what would happen. Both tanked. I came to a few conclusions - the multiple products were diluting my own unique content, Google can spot an Amazon affiliate site from the data imported, duplicate content etc etc.

    I have a number of other Amazon affiliate sites, which do really well, but they don't use any Amazon plugins - I create a detailed post for each article with just one link to Amazon.

    Do we have to run a website to be an affiliate? Everyone talks doing amazon affiliate with a website or blogging. I wonder if what this guy does can make money as an affiliate?
