Well, the question in the topic is what I'd like answered. I know they do with single page Adsense sites, but what about Amazon affiliate sites?

    They don't like thin affiliate sites at all, no matter the size. They feel that it reduces their search quality and cuts into their Adwords revenue. Well, that's unless the thin affiliate site in question has a lot of venture capital funding from the firm down the street in Silicon Valley.

      The whole process is easy to automate. And people are lazy in general.

      Why do you think Adsense ebooks/courses sell so well?

      Because Adsense is accessible and to most people it looks to be the easiest way to make money online. Stick an ad right in front of your readers nose - he clicks on it (most likely by accident) - BAM you just made $0.17!

      That + laziness are the main reasons why people build 1 page websites. They don't want to be bothered with creating quality content, providing some kind of value to their readers (this has been discussed a lot, I know everyone has his/her own opinion about what "valuable content" is), hunting the interwebs for backlinks and all that other nonsense...

      It is a lot easier to make money by buying 200 exact match domains and putting up 200 1-2 page websites than it is by creating 5-10 quality websites. Fact.

    Give me a handfull of high quality, high content sites over small micro niches any day.

    I would rather build for the future than have immediate gains from a network of sites that while they work at the moment, could be penalised far easier with future upgrades.

    This is just my personal opinion of course.

      My newest project is in an area that actually genuinely interests and fascinates me.

      This niche has tons of highly searched phrases every day, totalling millions every month.

      I will get my site in a strong position and then use the profits to start another site in the same niche, maybe 3 or 4 sites in the niche by the time Im finished and completely dominate this niche.

      Could take a couple of years but for a few million searches a month I can wait.

      At the end of this I will be a genuine authority.

    I accidentally made a wordpress site for an amazon affiliate link as a review page, because I didn't do enough research and after making my first article I realized that there were no other good leads to follow in the categories I chose... lol

    At least I learned and made a new site where I had a minimum of 10 potentially good leads. Now I'm working on that. However, my first site did make it to page 4 on the specified google keystring search in a couple of weeks with only 150 social bookmarkings. I'd say it wasn't a complete failure since there were about 20k specifically competing websites.

      The main point, is you learnt early.

      I did this with my first site although it wasnt quite as bad as yours by the sound of it.

      This is big reason why I am going to milk my newest project, it has searches coming out of its ears for a crap load of stuff.

    Who cares if they frown on it? Its not like Adsense where they have the chance to ban you. The wost they can do is drop you down in the SERP.
