Penalty for Affiliates
Yesterday, someone mentioned that they had a page that was #1 on Google for a specific keyword. When they added adsense, they dropped to the third page. They then removed it and went right back to the first page. I also believe this story because the Google forum guys rant against adsense and it always seemed suspicious to me.
Here's my question though: has anyone seen this same behavior with affiliate pages?
About a fourth of my pages have Amazon a link or two of Amazon affiliate pages and I'm wondering if that could possibly be causing me problems. By the way, I realize the page optimization and other SEO parameters are the most important factors in page ranking and consider these things "tweaking" or "fine tuning".
Thx for any advice...
