Which is better? A site full of Amazon offerings or hand-picked products with well-developed pages?

With wpzon I have the power to create thousands of pages based on Amazon listings but wouldn't it be better to hand-curate a smaller number of products and develop their posts? I'd like to attract visitors but I'm nervous about just creating a site full of robot junk.

    Number two, no number 1, well number 2, I may want to pick number 1.
    The question is which is better for you.

    For me I tend to float to one product per page. If it does well add more quality pages,

    I use one folder per product, what I mean is this.

    xyz.com another product xyz.com/secondproduct/secondproduct.html ect.

      How do I thank people on this forum? (I'm really new here)

      EDIT: OK, I found the Thank button. ;-)

    Auto-generated pages probably won't get you much search engine traffic if they just scrape content from somewhere else.

    But... you can try it first, and if it doesn't work, then scrap the website and revert to the other strategy of writing content yourself.

    Quality is better than quantity. I've heard of people who have the scraper plugins, but they go over each post by hand before publishing.

      I tend to use a two tier approach. I'll use a them like Top 5 ______ for ______ or __________ for __________: Good, Better, Best. On that page will be what ever number (usually 3-5) products, linked to individual pages with more details (not the scraped Amazon crap, my own research and conclusions).

      Intro the list pages with your criteria for selecting products. Finish with a wrap-up and a link to a product search page for more options.

      As a presell, you want to give readers the feeling that whichever choice they make, they can't go wrong following your advice.

        This ^^^^ exactly.

        This is what matters.

        This is what determines your income.

    Remember this tough. I know that most will tell you not to use automatic programs for blogs, sales pages, affiliate sites ect.

    I use them quite frequently and they actually save me a load of time. I go in change the logo header. I change descriptions and text.

    What I don't have to do is make or modify a complete template to work.
    It has worked for me and I still rank the sites so I know I change them up enough.

    You could have pages dedicated to a range of products, but I've tested both and in my time found that having a whole page and review dedicated to one product works a lot better. When I had 20 products per page, people tended to jump from page to page a lot. Then I started writing detailed quality reviews for each product and got much better conversions.

    I do my own integration. I do not run stores so I don't need the shopping carts. I no longer do Amazon but If I did and wanted life easier I would just use one of the many plugins I have as it inserts my links ect.
