So Google Doesn't Like Affiliates...

I was having a think over my physical product review site.

We're churning out unique content at 15 reviews per day that all link to Amazon.

I'm wondering if Google is going to penalize my site down the road because all it is is all product review pages... nothing but product review after product review.

What are your thoughts on this?

    No not if its unique. Just don't copy the descriptions/reviews right from Amazon itself and you should be fine. Thats why its an affiliate/associates program. Google doesn't like those "MFA" product review sites. Goodluck!

    Above all, make it an engaging site that people will surf around on and come back to. If you just put junk up that nobody reads, that is something google is better at determining now.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

    That could be entirely true, but lets face it. How many times have you bookmarked or saved a website that was strictly product review after product review all linked to Amazon? I know I haven't.

    Maybe there's a way to produce valuable content meshed with the occasional product review and still achieve the end goal?

    There are plenty of people making good money with review sites linking to Amazon, I've written hundreds of reviews for some of the top people using this business plan. No one knows what the big G is going to do but right now they still work.

    If you're worried about G not liking your site because of affiliate links you could always cloak your links.
