I looked through like 12 categories where I consider myself very familiar with the market for what's available and the product recommendations are poor. At best. Half of the recommendations look like your standard rebadged Alibaba crap peddled on Amazon with all the fake reviews that follow.
I guess the name of the site is a tacit admission that probably the products are not good, but this page is content that's designed to match for certain search terms and not something that's organically good content.
I'm fine with Google ranking this content straight to zero.

I'm surprised to hear this, not because I think my recommendations are infallible, but because the user return rate is lower than average. Are there any specific products that you think are junk?
He's competing with a huge army of auto-generated spam sites that are in the same business. Best LED strip lights? Good luck getting on the front page of that one. The results are dominated by sites using superficially respectable, popular domains to push the same affiliate spam.
