Thanks for your thoughts!
Who is "...Hi Aaron,<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts!<br /><br />Who is "they"? Blog owners won't add "nofollow" to the links, because the affiliate marketing spammers (and the website owners) don't want that. The idea of affiliate marketing spamming is to pass people (and search engines) from one website to another, driving up ad traffic, and search rep.<br /><br />Blogger, OTOH, is not going to add "nofollow" to the links, because they can't reliably distinguish affiliate spam links with <a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2011/04/is-blog-that-uses-affiliate-networking.html" rel="nofollow">genuine affiliate networks</a> (which is a legit application of websites), such that they can guarantee that they wouldn't interfere with affiliate networks, when going after affiliate marketing.<br /><br />AT least, that's what I suspect. I don't pretend to know the mind of Google - because Google is not one corporation with 50,000 (whatever) employees, it's 50,000! corporations (Do you understand factorials?).<br /><br /><a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2011/04/is-blog-that-uses-affiliate-networking.html" rel="nofollow">http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2011/04/is-blog-that-uses-affiliate-networking.html</a>Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-2547777664027344862015-09-24T13:35:26.843-07:002015-09-24T13:35:26.843-07:00I agree with this blog post!

I always apply a <b>rel="nofollow"</b> to any of these links that pass page rank,--especially my link to my bandcamp website. Why don't they place a nofollow tag on these affiliate links, and implement a disclosure policy on their blogs in the first place?<br />Click fraud is not cool, and Google Ad Sense takes this problem seriously. PTC/GPT/PTV/PTS content is most likely to cause these blogs to be deleted. One paid link may result to Google penalties, such as being lowered in the Search Engine Results Page, for example: a site named <b>Ric's Record Publishing Suite</b> has relied on affiliate links,--all without adding a nofollow tag to them. Or inserting paid links on their posts on their blog,--trying to get rich quick. In my opinion. Affiliate Marketing has caused lots of problems to advertisers.<br />I rather add nofollow tags to these affiliate links on my blog, and place a disclosure policy page on my blog. Well, I've already implemented a disclosure policy page on my blog.Aaron Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016877491842790676noreply@blogger.com
