Hello Friends,

After penguin update, one of my Amazon affiliate marketing blog (niche blog) loose huge traffic from search engines. This effect on my sales rapidly. Now I just make all affiliate link nofollow and also decrease the number of affiliate links from every single post. I don't create much more backlinks for the blog, I just create few backlinks (approximately 100 backlinks from 20 different domains.)

So what can I do to get more traffic from search engines?

    I would suggest you on boosting up your Social Shares.

    You can use plugins like the Social Locker Plugin for WordPress.

    The search engines today really look at the Social Shares a site has. Just like backlinks - social shares are as important and you should work on boosting that up.

    It will get you free traffic AND boost you up in the search engines. So, it is a win-win situation.

    When Google sees a lot of people sharing your content - they will give your site a lot more authority. Never forget who the real machine is in here - PEOPLE.

    If it wasn't for people using the internet - Google would not be as successful and make no money. So, when they see a lot of people sharing content from a site - they really take that seriously.

    I hope this helps!

    I wish you the best of the best!

    Cheers!

    Identify and remove all the bad backlinks your site has. Once done, disavow the ones you can't remove and submit a reconsideration request.

    So how many sites have you ranked using social shares? Last I checked, social sites had no impact on Google rankings.

    The Amazon affiliate links are gone from Google. Google will penalize the website when they see you are doing affiliate website.

    No matter you change the link is dofollow or remove some links. The website is doing Amazon affiliate links, then will get penalized.

    No such authority, page ranks, nofollow or dofollow.

    Trust me, I used have 100 websites used many kinds of methods doing the Amazon affiliate.Many of them just gone within 1 month of the keywords ranked on the Top. The huge bucks experiences make me learn a lot of things. Some will just use the SEO mindset to show you how to do Amazon.

    However, I must tell you Google ban Amazon affiliate.Check this learning material http://www.live-singapore.com.sg/thi...ite-marketing/ The guy earn a lot of money in Amazon is selling the products in Amazon, not doing affiliate.

    If you still don't want give up the Amazon, and still has hope. Try use the link cloak to mark all the affiliate links as the internal links, and this kind of links cannot over 2% of the total contents links. That means you post 100 blog, only 2 can put the affiliate links and must cloaked.

    Instead of no follow, use javascript, if you're using wordpress I guess pretty link is good alternative. Or create a simple php code that will redirect to your amazon affiliate link. Then in robots.text disallow all bots.

    If you are sure that your site was penalized because of affiliate link, If I were you I will not touch the site and leave it there for other search engine to send traffic.

    Then I will create new site, same niche, but this time do not repeat the mistake I made on the first site. Manual penalties take time before penalty is lift, sometime it's more practical to start new site.

      If I were you, I will not do that, doing so may confirm that google is right of what they suspect that you're doing to game their system.
