Dynamic Affiliate Site Builder
Mark over at 45n5 has created a cool affiliate site builder script that uses the API from Ebay, Amazon, and YouTube to create dynamic content. He is generously giving away the script under a Creative Commons License. Thanks Mark!
I’m going to build a couple of sites using this script. I plan to add Adsense ads at the top, with a Lightbox popup to build a list (to market back-end affiliate products, or to test demand for info. products). You could also use the “Traffic Regenerator” feature when they go to leave. As with any site, getting traffic is the 800-pound gorilla.
In the words of Marlon Sanders, you will need to “Promote, promote, promote.”
Using this script, the site creation process is easy and you don’t have to worry about adding content. The more time-intensive process, however, will be getting backlinks, traffic, and ranking.
Go check it out.

Hey Mark. Reciprocal link exchanges are frowned upon. But you could do a 3-way link exchange. Jonathan Leger started something like this (3waylinks.net) a couple of months ago. He had a free beta program that I tried on one of my sites. I noticed good results initially (got on the first page of Google for one of my targeted keywords), but now there’s nothing. Stayed on 1st page of Google for 4 days, but then the site disappeared from the SERPS for that keyword. Now I can’t even find the site in the top 15 pages on Google for that same keyword. This was my first time participating in a link exchange program, so I don’t really know what to think. The SEO boost was very short-lived.

“Reciprocal link exchanges are frowned upon. ”
in general yes, but I’m guessing if the sites were “related” if it would work.
for intance, put out a call for diet/fitness reciprocals in the forums.
just a thought.
