My experience has been that it varies by category and by editor. It's not very consistent. I guess it really just depends if the editor likes your site or not.

Sometimes just a few affiliate links on an otherwise outstanding site can send an editor into a tizzy and get the site deleted which is a shame.

Other times they get through with a decent amount of aff links.

It helps to go into the affiliate site building process (if an ODP listing is a goal) with the mindset of what info can I provide that will blow my visitors away and make them love the site rather than how can I make as much $$$ as possible.
