Firstly .. check out as OnMyOwnTerms says below.
I am just thinking .. maybe you can narrow your Niche a little .. same Niche but a smaller part of it and become the Authority in that part of the Niche. Or age group or to non caucasians within the Niche. You could also be the the more "real" person in the Nice .. with "branding" it is not the name or the website they they ultimately buy .. it is you.
Good luck .. Cheers, William.
Hi Gary nothing like a challenge, analysis their site see what they are doing and using , check their social media footprint, drill down into the niche they will not be covering every angle there will be gaps, create that micro niche with in the niche to get you foot in the door.
Imagine your self in the position of being one of their editors/writers how would you improve their site imaging you owned this site what would you be asking of your staff.
Step outside your thinking , why carn't you take on an authority site, because you think you can not. You don't have to copy just mimic some of their stuff, but just do it better. Who are they feeding off and who is feeding off then.
This is the fun part of the industry.
I have yet feel the 'fun' part of this yet, but all your suggestion is very real and helpful. I will research on the website to decide what's my next direction, and hope to find the gap that you mentioned. Thanks!
I don't have much advice other than to keep doing what you're doing. It will be a tough battle though. When doing niche research, I always look to see how much space is available on page #1 - if it is all sponsored or big names, I go for a different niche to start with. I'm not sure what I'd do if I'd already put in a lot of effort.
Thanks, at least you are being completely honest and I appreciate that. Guess I still have to learn when doing niche research...

Compete against authority site? or work around it but how?

Just eat a market share for now.
Truth is, the only chance to get on top is by dislodging those who are already on top. That's the sad reality of SEO. The size of search doesn't expand, the size of the pie isn't expanding, we only have to eat our way in the pie.
But that should not discourage you.

Your blog is very motivational, and thanks for your advice. I'll keep moving on looking for the pie....

I'm using Clickbank as an example - there are tons of products on there related to different types of niches. Let's say I want to promote product A on my website, but I have no
I agree with asking for a review copy. If you do end up buying a copy use your own affiliate link, but it's worth it to note if you do use your own affiliate link you won't get paid out any money until 5 different credit cards have been used to buy clickbank products through your affiliate link.
I agree with the other comments, you can't possibly purchase everything you review. I'd definitely encourage you to check out Nathaniel's training mentioned below to help.
In regards to click bank, Usually I'll do research on the product and see what other reviews are saying about the product. If I feel I've got sufficient information to create an informed review then I'll usually use that to create my review however if I feel that there's not much information, or if I just want to really get inside the program then I might purchase it. I usually only purchase if it's like a free or $1 trial or something, then cancel before they start billing me.
Hope that helps

You can't impossible buy everything you promote, what if you are reviewing products in the tablet or laptop section? Would you buy all? You have to find some reliable websites, I find a lot of info in the reviews of customers under the products in the web stores
Ok so basically you mean gathering the reviews available on the internet and then analyse them based on my understanding. It definitely makes sense. Thanks Loes!
Hey Gary, you can read Nathaniel's training for some tips on how to write review without buying it : Writing Product Reviews of Stuff You Don't Own
Click bank has good and bad products i used a few.
I always purchase before selling i like to know exactly what i am giving my customers. Bad products can lead to bad reviews of you and your site. I Couldn't recommend a product unless i absolutely new it was of very good quality.

Yes I didn't want to push products to the readers so that they made a purchase but regret it later. Thanks for your advice Jim!
Yes if you have the budget for it. It's always great to provide screen shots of the back end of a paid customer, this way your audience will really trust your review. There are ways to ask for a "pre launch" copy if you ask early enough, like 2 weeks before launch.
