Jusr read a post in this thread about G dropping sites that use irrelevant blogs, forums, social networks.

since late may we had a period in the doldrums where our main keywords were languishing in the depths of the serps.

this (we think) was down to us changing the sites homepage and adding a different navigation.

we didnt panic and 2 weeks ago our main keywords were all ranking in the top 3 pages with a handfull on page 1.

it seems that last tuesday / wednesday these rankings got hit and are again languishing.

the main keyword is now bottom of page 20, uk results only.

now, back to my original point.

we run an affiliate marketing campaign, and every week we post to the affiliates our best offers, best sellers ect with a couple of links to the site so they can see the products / categories in question.

will this be harming us?
