I have written one affiliate post with 15 affiliate links point to Amazon and other local store.

Should I make them no follow? And also about future affiliate post? What to do ?

    Those are a lot of links. Firstly, make them no-follow. Secondly, depends on the number of words in the article.

    A simple no-follow tag as well as making those links 302 redirection would suffice.

      That makes no sense. Absolutely no sense. Completely mixing up
      a whole lot of things.

      Amazon is not an affiliate that anyone needs to worry about.

      Why would you cloak them? Why would anyone suggest such
      illogical, nonsensical, bogus, and ridiculous advice?

      But to put 15 links in any one post is a tad over the top.
      What is the post about? 15 products or 1? You most certainly
      want the links to go with the post, making the reader's head
      stay in one place.

      302? Holy cow...

    While it's a good idea to cloak and track affiliate links, I don't think it's a great idea to have so many different links in a single post - unless it's a very, very long one. I'm actually kinda curious what kind of post you made to have that many affiliate links in there.

    You can actually split the post into multiple parts or spread them across multiple pages. And of course, make the links nofollow

    I agree with you, I don't think you should let a search engine index that, nothing good seems like it will come from that. But, then again, I've never seen a post with 15 affiliate links, so if it's converting for you keep on with your success.

    What's your marketing for the post? Media buy? PPC?

      Nothing. Relying on Search Engine traffic and getting good response.

        Then why would you want to make the post nofollow?!

        Don't shoot yourself in the foot lol

        Keep on with the good work, seems like you know how to write for affiliate content that converts.
