Since the last post, I've done the following
1. A lot of keyword research, and realised this niche is probably on the small side to be particularly profitable.
2. Decided to focus on just 3 keyphrases for this site, and once I rank for those probably create another site for different phrases.
3. Got a signed up with a couple more aff networks, including ebay partner network
4. Set up PHPBay free edition - it's brilliant. I'll defnitely buy the Pro edition soon.
The main visible change is that I've TOTALLY revamped the site. This has taken me a long time to do, as I've taught myself wordpress theme editing in the process. I'm now confident that the next niche blog I need to roll out I can probably get done in a couple of hours. I'm much happier with the layout. The title tags etc are right too.
I'd appreciate any feedback and comments :

Once I've got this thing ranking and bringing in even a nominal amount of money, I'll probably set up a combination of Wordpress MU and OpenX to enable me to quickly get loads more set up.
The next step is to really focus on getting ranked for my keywords. I've done some on-page work for that, but I'll spend some time getting links and social bookmarks.
