Do mini affiliate sites work any more?

13 years ago

I would say that a standalone review is better because the focus is on that particular product and the quality is more relative.

Thanks

My guess is that affiliate minisites are the kind of sites that Google hates the most.

This is my guess, too, definitely. That would certainly fit in particularly well with all the general impressions they give (I'm thinking of comments on their WebMaster Central blog, and Matt Cutts' interviews, more than anything else) regarding "what they feel should be significant/recognized" in SEO terms. Surely not a model to aspire toward, if one wants SEO traffic.

There are an I subtitle plethora of threads that have been made to answer this question. Now stop taking the easy way out and make a real website.

Anyway, minisites DO NOT work anymore(at least for the long run).

All my sites are real sites. However, I want to add some affiliate reviews as well so I was wondering what template I might use to create really attractive looking review pages rather than as if it is part of site, even though it will be. I don't the review page to have my sites header on top. Can I do this with Optimize Press or should I go with cheaper options from Themeforest who have some nice sales page templates that you can integrate within a WordPress blog?

At the same time, I don't want the review pages to look like a sales page which are more for your own products.

Optimize Press does come with some nice graphics options though.

Thanks

Well, this is not a real minisite, this is just an extension of your website. If you just planning for it to be a redirect or a just a new section to the website, Optimize Press is the way to go.
