OK. I glanced at your site. It looks like you don't sell anything and you don't have a BB, just more of a site for information.
If your intent is to make money, then I assume you plan on doing it via advertising space and google adsense type programs. If it's a site geared to be informative, you need to find a way to not only get people to your site, but to keep them coming back. The amount of people who would have interest in such a site is relatively small and I don't see substantial growth in the market so there isn't enough people out there to keep it alive on 1 time visits alone.
You need to find a compelling reason to make people bookmark your page. Jaw dropping tech (i.e. Bill Vista from POR), excellent/thorough/clear information about things that people can use as quick reference resource, community (i.e. a BB or some sort of site where people with like interests can congregate), good deals on products, write ups on new products etc etc. The problem is, I think the market has already found it's cap--it's carrying capacity of providers for that information and it would be difficult to break through quickly--if at all. For every line of product out there, there is a dozen different people that will drop ship it to you for cost + almost nothing so that’s a difficult way to go too.
There are already deeply entrenched sites and people that would be difficult to draw hits from--especially with the amount of brand loyalty that exists in this industry. At this point I think you have to find your own niche to have an success. Cruiseroutfitters, NAXJA, Tera+, etc all have a pretty specific target that is relatively static when compared to the rest of the industry.
Anyway, there is a quick 5 minute analysis that you probably already knew.
EDIT: Ok, I read your post. I would probably try and get some websites to go into this as a co-op type of program. They can loan/give you some products to do detailed testing and a great write up , and they can send traffic to you for people to see real world info and you can send traffic back to them to purchase. I guess the difficult thing is being able to show potential vendors value in giving you things and without a clear history of traffic to your site or a easily identifiable reputation within the industry it would be a difficult sell. Could work though......
