Presently I am having an exclusive adesnse site. To supplement my income I am thinking of placing amazon products affiliate links at end of all my posts on this site. Will if effect ranking (Serps) of my posts and this site?

    I don't think one affiliate link will affect your SERP. The only way to find out is to try and see if it adds extra income.

    This won't hurt. Lots of people are Amazon Affiliates. There's no harm in being one.

    I created a page that contained dozens of products. I later added dozens of amazon links to those products. In my unscientific test, I went from 1-3 in Serps to the bottom of page one. I cloaked my affiliate links. Now I'm back in 1-3.

    I can't say that the links definitely affected the Serps. I made other content changes when I added the links. I just figure that cloaking links shouldn't hurt while affiliate links might hurt. Plus the cloak links look better to the user.

    Could someone please elaborate on this issue? Have placed Amazon affiliate links at the bottom of each post and don't want to hurt my SERP. Check my SERP: it is still at 2 and has been for some time.
