Ladies and gentlemen, I am not a tech guy. Need some help here. Will Google index my site or punish me for having a new blog with two posts and each post has an affiliate link?

Thanks in advance for your help.

    You shouldn't have any issues getting that indexed. You should, over time though, add more content to make it look legitimate.

    Google will not punish you and you should have no problem getting indexed, but the better question is if the content you are providing will ever rank well. Would it be beneficial for google's users to rank your content higher than other content on that topic?

    What would users who are looking for your affiliated products like to get out of a site that provides those products? If you can answer that and start focusing your attention on those areas you will be much better off in the long run.

    Mr. Google is friendly. He wouldn't punish someone like your blog. Time will come that it will be indexed on Google. The only problem is that when you search for the keywords of your blog you would not see your blog appearing in the first page of google.

    I Go Hard = "Slanguage" for putting forth a lot of effort.

    Don't be an arse and try to flip something you clearly have no knowledge of against me.
