What is a Product Catalog Site?

A product catalog site is a website that simply looks like a store with a variety of products, but instead of linking to its own shopping cart, it has affiliate links to another website.

Some people manually create these sites (it’s a lot of work) and others do them through automated data feeds. Many multi-product store owners, Amazon.com included, offer data feeds of their catalog.

Data feeds can include product names, prices, descriptions, photos etc and with special programming, you can convert these data feeds into ready-made websites.

Many people who own datafeed websites and don't add any original content have found their traffic plummet over the years. Search engines want to show websites that offer additional value, so if you make a datafeed website, add things like user reviews, additional product information and other helpful content for your readers.
