Some answers:

1. Yes - build up some content and traffic before monetising.

2. You're better off keeping a site focused, but if the products are closely related it may be OK.

3. Yes.

4. Individual posts - as long as they're relevant.

5. From an SEO perspective it doesn't matter.

6. If you're using categories and tags properly I'd index those, but noindex all other archives.

7. A keyword oriented title would be better but, most importantly, make sure the title makes it clear to humans what the site is about.

1. It doesn't matter, as long as the keywords are good and the content is relevant and well written.
2. It does not matter, but the niche should stay the same so there is relevancy.
3. Keep posting content; however, your posts will stay ranked for a while especially if your competition is weak.
4. Both. Create long-tail keyword backlinks that are specific to the posts and generalizations that apply to your site to the homepage. Tags are much more important for the posts than you think. Choose them very wisely. More often than not, google will link to your post rather than your website.
5. No full posts on the first page! But try to customize the More... into something better that grabs the reader's attention.
6. Don't bother with the noindex and/or nofollow attributes unless you have something to hide on your website (in which case you would use noindex).
7. That's a crap keyword. Do better keyword research to find a good keyword. My suggestion for a beginner like you is to open google keyword tool on one tab and a thesaurus.com's synonyms on the other. Since this is your first site try to find something broad that has around 5,000-20,000 searches a month. Have at least 10 + their variants. Then open google up and look at the competition and their websites (onsite/ofsite SEO, content, etc.)....Here's a good post about KW research! scroll down a bit.

You're on your way! Keep up the good work!

1. is it better to add the first few posts without any affiliate links?

2. does it matter if I promote a few different products in the same website? For example, each post is a review and targets it's own product and it's own keywords

3. does it matter if after a while I stop posting new content ?

4. when I create backlinks to such a website, should I create backlinks to the homepage or to individual posts?

5. should I display the full posts on the first page or break them up with the "More..." tag?



6. should I add noindex and/or nofollow attributes to archive, tag, or category links?



7. what's the best title for the whole website? Right now it's "Best price info product reviews". That's not a keyword that I'm targeting, it's just a generic title that I've thought of. Should I change it to a specific product (even if the website contains multiple product reviews) or should I leave it generic?



Good luck with it and PM me if you need any more help
