Affiliate link juice

[Tomper]

My store has a affiliate program that people can join. I checked my affiliates and saw that some hide the affiliate link (url shortener or javascript etc) on their website. Some of them have a big site with good SEO stats, so I wish they wouldn't hide an affiliate on their website so I can get some link juice. My question is, does the affiliate link pass the juice or does Google not count it?

yes it works without nofollow links:

it's normal that affiliate links are used as rel=nofollow or rel=sponsored as per Google guidelines.

it's not healthy if a large store has 100s or thousands of links pointing to you in general, looks spammy to Google. So using the appropriate rel tag would be recommended.
