Just thought I would pass this on...
I downloaded the CJ Tactics E-book (which is a good read) and was reading through when I came up on this statement about Do Follow Affiliate Links.
And add the following code so it looks like this:
<a rel=?nofollow? href=?http://www.example-affiliate-link.com?>some text here</a>
This doesn?t help with conversions or tracking, but for SEO purposes you don?t want to do something that goes against Google?s best practices, at least not in terms of giving them an excuse to penalize your page for ?selling? PageRank.
(Page 121 by James Hussey)
Basically, if you get money from the link, it needs to be nofollowed, or you can face a penalty.
Besides, you don?t want the advertiser to out-rank your own pages..
I'm not sure how true that is, but that could explain a lot of what I'm seeing for some of my sites. Wordpress has a plug in that "No Follows" all of your links in selected categories. I manually did it on some sites, but sites with to many I used the plug-in. After about 6 days I'm seeing some improvements.
If anyone has any experience in this area please share as well.
