Does Google Hate Affiliate Links?

Russ wrote me and asked the following:

Hey Mark,
All good information for sure… but I have a good question…

The websites I have are all based on sending users to a merchant page with affiliate links. That is my whole goal with these sites. However, the more content I add, the more affiliate links I have.

I have read that having affiliate links in your site are starting to hurt your ranking with search engines. Is this true? What do you suggest? Should I be using javascript links instead.

I am not really sure how to circumvent this issue. Please advise. All comments welcome.

I really don't think that Google wants to end affiliate marketing as we know it.

They spent a considerable amount of time and money developing the whitepapers that are given away in the series, and the subsequent autoresponder messages that dive deeper into the points made in the white papers. It's really an excellent piece of marketing.

The goal of the autoresponders is to

Everything is Marketing

I’ve been studying Internet Marketing for a long while, and it seems to me that there are two ways to study the topic.

One is to be a wise consumer of educational materials to teach you all the things you don’t yet know. And if you’re a good student, you’ll soon discover the second way.

And that’s just to observe everything that goes on around you, because there are marketing lessons and opportunities everywhere.

I went on a cruise down the coast of Mexico earlier this year. It was a wonderful trip. I was hardly thinking about business or marketing when I
