Shin Nguyen Blog - Without doubt, one of the best ways to sell affiliate products is through an overview site. After all, people come to the web searching for information. They'll read your review, follow your advice, and purchase the product you're promoting. If they like that product, they'll be back for more! The sole question for you is how do you produce a really effective review website?

First, off, let's talk about the mechanics of the site. Should it be a simple web page, or would a blog be better? Today the blog is absolutely the best choice, even though two years ago, I would have said go with the static page. Google loves blogs, and readers love blogs, too! Furthermore, blogs are almost a perfect fit for a review website where you want pages that list the various items you're reviewing, and in addition pages for each and every item.

The absolute best practice to produce a blog review website is to purchase your own domain name and download WordPress. Have no fear if you've never done this before. It's easy. I've created lots of blog sites and I'm certainly no code monkey. (I'm a marketer and writer! )

With WordPress you can create a static home page, or just let your posts be your home page. In any event will continue to work. Now, all you want do is to take a few competing products and write about them.
