Amazon Affiliation Help?
- SEO |
Hey, I'm new to the forum (recently purchased ClickBump SEO Plugin). I have a WP blog, trying to implement Amazon Associates for a chosen niche by posting product reviews.
I'm using a plugin that automatically pulls products from the Amazon site and posts them on my blog with an image, buy now and more information buttons -you've probably seen how it works. I thought if I mixed this up with my own unique product review content, it would fill the blog up more. My first question is this; is it bad to have content copied from the Amazon website, am I going to rank for my main keyword or is Google going to penalize me? My main keyword is easy-medium difficulty, I can't see there being much problem getting somewhere on the first page competition-wise.
By using this plugin I'm also struggling to fit in my main keyword into the posts the plugin is putting on my blog. Whereas my own content I can pass 100% using ClickBump, I'm struggling to get anywhere near that with the other stuff. This is when I introduced a static front-page to my blog with all the unique product reviews on, and then everything else categorized in the background. Is all this a waste of time do you think, should I just sack all the pulled content and stick with what I've made, will I see more of a benefit?
Thanks for any help, Nathan
EDIT: Also, just another quick query (haha!). Say if I were to target a main keyword as Fishing Rod Reviews, but struggled to fit it into my content sometimes (didn't make sense) so instead used Fishing Rod Review, are these keywords classed as the same in Google's eyes?
