If your using a blogging services, make sure the affiliate links aren't against the TOS. It is rare that they are, but better be safe than sorry.

If your hosting your own blogging package, then your free to do as you wish.

This seems to an old post but I wanted to share my experience..

Affiliate links are allowed and I have seen them some of the top blogs in blogger.com. I have my affiliate links re-directed from from our website for obvious reasons - I don't like linog URLs with "?aid=***" etc. and also to hide my affiliate ID.

In blogger, I posted several of my affiliate links in this fashion and blogger classified my blog to be spam because there were lots of links pointing to the same website. So I think it would have been OK if I posted affiliate links with the actual URL and my affiliate ID rather than the redirect URL from our website.

Currently, we are hosting our own blogs. Hmm... what a relief! BUt I understand that someday, I may need to host free blogs as well... need to watch at that time Smile

If you're using Blogger, there's a symbol at the top of the "create post" tab that you can use to inlcude your link. Blogger is so far the most user friendly free blog services around.

But, if you're using a blog in Blogger to promote your affiliate link, please don't overdo it. I get one of my blog "LOCKED" / "DISABLED" by their Automated spam classifying algorithms. They will classify you as a spam blog to have too many links going out.

And it says on their site that you can report to Blogger to have a real man review your blog to unlock it if you think your blog is not a spam blog. However, this service just doesn't work. So, make sure you don't over do it.

Enjoy. Smile
