-- Having no-follow tags to affiliate links
How does this one hurt?

SORRY I MEANT HAVING NO no-follow LINKS TO AFFILIATES. THIS MIGHT BE VIEWED AS A PAID LINK BY GOOGLE?


Too Many Affiliate Links?
Definitely, either follow or nofollow though.
(Of course 'too many' is totally subjective and site specific.)

AGREED, BUT WHAT IF YOU HAVE A HUGE SITE THAT COMPARES PRODUCTS OR HOSTING COMPANIES. BUT YOUR SITE IS LOADED WITH BLOG POSTS, FORUMS, RATINGS, REVIEWS.... STUFF THAT PROVIDES VALUE TO THE USER, NOT JUST A THIN AFFILIATE SITE? HOW SHOULD YOU HANDLE ALL YOUR AFFILIATE LINKS THAT COMPARES EACH PROVIDERS SERVICE? SIMPLY USE no-follow ON THEM?
