Is Google penalizing sites with affiliate links?
I am in the process of setting up a new wordpress blog, which will contain a detailed products and services section. A number of these links will be affiliate links and I dont want my blog to be penalized by google for having this section.
Should I ensure that the products and services page contains the robots.txt file to prevent google from crawling it-does this work? Also would you make sure that all of the affiliate links have the no follow tag.
One option I thought might work is to have a seperate website with all of my products and services on. I could then link to this website from my wordpress blog. In theory my main blog would not be penalised as it does not contain the affiliate links.
The products and services website could still incorporate the robots.txt file and no follow tag for all the links. What do you reckon to this method?
Any help, advice or suggestions on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
