How Many Affiliate Links are Too Many?
- SEO |
I have a website in the alternative health niche. It is of relatively high quality.
It has adsense ads and affiliate links on most to nearly all of the pages.
The adsense ads run down a sidebar, with one other within the middle of the page within the main content.
The affiliate links mainly appear as a list of products at the bottom of a page after an article. Each product having 4 links. Some pages have up to 15 products and 60 affiliate links. Some have other text content affiliate links.
I have made all affiliate links nofollow.
Is this too many?
Some people say too many outbound links is bad seo. Especially affiliate links. It will spread the link juice too much and result in lower rankings.
Some say having too many affiliate links will get you pandalized.
If my page is showing mainly original useful content and the ads and affiliate links are not over bearing the page content intent, why would it matter how many products or outbound links are featured, especially when those products and links are also all helpful in one way or another to the problem being discussed in the main theme content of that page?
I would have thought that is a helpful way to organize a page?
I would have thought that is what Google likes?
Is there a cut off margin according to the algorithm bot that says this page has too many affiliate links or ads (do they get treated the same way?) and do those links pass juice or weight even if they are nofollow?
I don't really understand affiliate links fully.. Can you guys please help me out a bit if you can?
Thanks a lot.
