    Affiliate marketing question

    So, I'm just starting up a website that will at some point be making sales with affiliate links (hopefully). But I've read various things about people saying you shouldn't put any affiliate links in your articles for the first three months, as google will just assume your website is solely for the money and doesn't have any quality content.

    So my question is when writing articles for the website. Would it be wise to just insert normal links within the article, and then after three months change these over to affiliate links?

      It depends on the links. Will there be links to gladiators? Will there be articles on bleeding radiators? Any links to grown men naked?

        Are you going to do like the last time and edit your post to sneak a few links in?

              Having to ask a question about affiliate marketing on the wrong type of forum, in completely the wrong part of the wrong type of forum doesn't give me the confidence the OP has a clue what they are doing. Gonna be low level blackhat link spamming at this rate.

              Why not ban them now, unban them later and then ban them again. Do it a few times until the killing blow is delivered, like a cat playing with a mouse. Could provide endless moderation fun.

              That said if we are talking about entertaining NAT just put him a round room and tell him to sit in a corner. Keep him occupied forever that.
