I have adsense and am trying not to get in trouble with google. Is it safe to add affiliates links to my site or does google frown upon this? are there certain ones that are ok and others not?


Thanks

      Is your site an affiliate site? Or are you just
      going to add a link to an affiliate?

      I can't think of any reason to add an affiliate
      link to an adsense page. Do you want a click
      on adsense (for money) or a click to an affiliate
      page?

      Affiliate pages with little or no original, valuable
      content are against google webmaster guidelines.

      As a TOS of adsense, you actually agree to follow
      them. People ignore this fact or don't know it.

      Amazon is not the kind of affiliate that google is
      talking about here. They are talking about shtuff
      like CB.

      So, is your site an affiliate site or adsense site?

      I would concentrate on adsense. Much easier.

      Why would I muck up a good adsense page by
      slapping some lame-o affiliate link on it?

    It is a blog with adsense and amazon advertising. Amazon associates was advertising audible.com affiliate and I thought it might be good to sign up for it but did not want to get in trouble with google.

      I guess what I am trying to understand is does google frown upon adding other affiliate adds on my site or can I add as many as I want? What are rules about this, if any?
