http://laptophits.com - it had great response here on HN, unfortunately few days later I got an email from Amazon, that they reject my associates application, as my site lacks unique content :(. Now I'm working on more specification based filtering options, then will try to add keyword filters (to quickly find for example most recommended'linux laptops') and figure out what should I add to pass Amazon Associates review.

I also started my personal blog today at http://mdoliwa.com with 30 days blogging challange :).

For Amazon: just apply with another, more content-related blog (for example, your personal blog). And once you're "in" you just add to laptophits.com to it as well. They only vet for initial accounts.

I have an old site that's been making good money of amazon affiliate (for 5-7 years now). I re-applied with that same site, with another, new, affiliate account, and it got rejected. So their whole approval procedure seems quite arbitrary.

I went down the same path thinking that I could make a better selling platform (more relevant filtering) for a subset of items sold by Amazon and other retailers. I also was rejected for not having unique content. Other affiliate sites had no problem granting my applications. I'd be very interested to see how you modify your site to get accepted! Hope all goes well!
