Amount of affiliate links per page/post?

I don't count it... what's important is quality and related information and as fresh as possible

Marian

Yep..agree with miguelito here. I usually use call to action phrases for my affiliate link like:

- click here for today's price
- click here for more customer reviews
- click here for more info

Yes, I agree with you. Whenever you need to place an affiliate link you can place but remember to use rel="nofollow".

Are you sure that would resolve the problem?

You really can't expect a good answer if you keep asking the wrong questions. what you should be asking is what is relevant to google with regard to the search terms you wish to rank for.

hint: being an expert at dog training and writing excellent training articles won't guarantee you high rankings - as google has to compare your pages to thousands of other pages using a mathematical algorith, not real humans, to determine who is 20th or 10th or 1st, what *you* think is relevant does not really matter.

google uses an algorithm to score every link, every page, every internal link between pages in your site, every external link coming into your site, even the text in the link is evaluated, they also track how much time people spend on your site, they also track if people did a google search and left google to visit your site - if they came right back to google to continue searching they assume your page was not relevant to whatever search terms you were ranking for, they look at headlines, page titles, alt text in your images, even the spelling of the image file i.e. dog1.jpg versus golden-retriever-infested-fleas.jpg, they also look at the overall structure of your site for example if you site has a page 2 levels deep named pitbull.html and another page named pitbull.html only one level deep all other things being equal they will have different scores because one seems more general and one seems more specific because of how deeply buried it may be.

so there are a huge amount of factors that affect your rank, the best course i have personally come across just the other day incidentally really reveals some insider but very logical and common-sense tricks based on real research from google, and better yet it gives you a simple yet powerful piece of software called Keyword Map Pro at a price to low to print. You can check it out here, it's cheap, but many will lose out on this excellent resource because they prefer to search for needles in haystacks than to simply learn from experts.(Noe: this is not an A-Z guide on seo but the training videos and pdfs will change the way you think about seo for sure, and it is very clearly explained).

If seo is an important factor for you then get this course, otherwise hit the seo forums and seo sites, there are lots of them, if you visit my blog i show you where to get a free 8-day seo video course from Brad Callen(he's been doing seo for years).

In any event you need to buckle down and actually study seo, so you can take a sniper approach instead of a shot gun approach, you'll do less work and get better results if you help google to *see* your page/site as relevant for specific terms as opposed to all the other pages/sites google has to give a score for the same search terms. Changing just the amount of links won't help you much if the rest of your page and even your site's structure is haphazardly thrown together.

Hope the free 8-day video course brings you up to speed, and i personally give Keyword Map Pro two thumbs up. I've used it about 30 times in the last few days. Brad also just released a one of a kind article outsourcing service, i've used it twice already.

Ha, i've inserted 3 links, wonder what google would think? But i'm posting this for real human readers not for google. Anyways, remember on thing - conversions are the most important thing, if your pages and content is not written for real humans and getting them to take whatever your desired action is, it makes little sense to get more traffic, so make sure your page is converting(or at least written well enough to get optins, sales, click-thus, etc).
