[Guide] How to Write Your Amazon Buying Guides the Right Way

Fantastic guide man. This will be very useful to hand out to content writers and get exactly the kind of articles you want to use for affiliate sites.
 
This is what I actually wanted to read when I opened this thread, you didn't disappoint :)

Thanks for sharing bud!
 
Been doing Amazon affiliate sites for a few years now and picked up some great advice from that article.

Appreciate your write ups you publish here @Nerva
 
That`s why I always recommend you as one of the best writers! :)

Well done!
 
Is there any seller that you recommend?
I used to have a Shutterstock account, but it proved to be too expensive for my needs. My current go-to guy is @Topiano. You can find his sales thread in the Misc section of the marketplace.
 
Amazon affiliate is one of my main project these days.
This is definitely helpful :)
Thanks a lot buddy.
 
Great read thanks buddy. I've read before that you should only have one H1 per post for SEO reasons. Is this outdated?

EDIT: Just read comments and noticed someone has already brought this up.

Second question,

What is your view on adding graphs, imagery etc in the post? And videos of course.

Edit: As a followup to the replies of @nodyguy and @thescrrr, both of which are much appreciated, you can use the H tags as follows if you're not comfortable using several H1 tags:
  • H1 - Title

  • H3 - Product One – The Best Overall
  • H3 - Product Two – The Best for a Certain Feature
  • H3 - Product Three – The Best for Another Feature
  • H3 - Product Four – The Best for a Third Feature
  • H3 - Product Five – The Budget Product

  • H2 - Buying Guide Title
  • H2 - FAQ Section Title
  • H2 - Conclusion
I've used this format as well, and although I didn't notice any significant difference, I can't claim to be the best SEO around, and I always appreciate a good piece of advice.

As I mentioned, what worked for me may not work for you, so just follow common sense and apply what works best for you.

What is your view on adding graphs, imagery etc in the post? And videos of course.

Remember to use images throughout the buying guide. Pics speak a thousand words, and they’re an excellent way to keep the readers hooked. For pictures, you have four options:
  • You can get free photos from Pexels.com, Unsplash.com, or any other site offering free stock pics. Just type “free royalty free images” on Google, and you’ll get a plethora of these websites.
  • You can get a subscription at Shutterstock or similar stock image services. (this is by far the most expensive option). Alternatively, you can get Shutterstock images from one of the sellers here on BHW.
  • You can take your own pics or hire a photographer to take them for you.
  • You can use one of the free Shutter grabbing tools.
Whichever option you choose, make sure that your images are unique in Google’s eyes.

Videos are equally beneficial, as they keep the reader hooked to the content.

If you're writing an article about shelves, for example, and one of the questions is "How to organize my stuff on my shelves?", then adding a video would be a great idea as the reader would most likely want to watch the procedure rather than read about it, and you definitely don't want them to leave your site to find a video on the matter.

As always, common sense is to be applied. What works for some niches may not work for others.
 
I see everywhere affiliate sites with poor content and short articles (~500 words)
This is a gold mine
 
Giving away the whole store I see. ;)

Fantastic writing and explaining. Gold!
