Will this effect SERP ranking?

[Rollies]

Hey guys, how is it going? Hope you guys always funky fine!

Just wanna ask simple question here (might be sound lame). One of my blog article been ranked no.1 for XXX keyword on Google for a month now, question is what if I make a bit change on that article, not much change, I mean just change the affiliate link url, will it effect the current rank for XXX keyword?

I know a lot of people get nervous right.
If it's just a one link change then it should be ok.
If the link contains the keyword and that keyword density on that page is not optimum, then add the keyword somewhere else on the page to compensate for the link.

Hope that makes sense...

actually, I'm thinking of what happen when I flip this site, then the new owner surely want to change the affiliate link to add theirs. I'm just afraid it will effect their rank.

If you only change the affiliate link, it would just be too insignificant to affect your SERP ranking.. Don't worry about it..

Hi, I am new with this forum. Can somebody tell me where to post?

@2d0k @dzoaffiliate what if I add some new adsense code to that article?

@loristim you just made a first post! congrats!

In my own opinion, putting Adsense codes will not affect negatively your site rankings (as long as you follow Google's TOS). Why would G "punish" your site by placing Adsense codes within your pages? In the first place, Adsense is their own product.
