"Official" Having Too Many Affiliate Links Will Reduce Your Adwords Quality Score
I've come out of the A4UExpo and as part of the Extreme SEO session the discussion was opened up to the floor and as a result of one of the questions, a spectator revealed a conversation that she had with her AdWords account manager that having too many affiliate links on a landing page will adversly affect your quality score.
Why would they do it and what does it mean for the creation of landing pages?
The first is that they view affiliates as creaming off the top of online marketing and secondly it means that we've got to hide our tracking links.

Its hardly news.
Once Google identifies a site with affiliate links using PPC it becomes of question of who google wants to make the most from the affiliate, you or google.
Which answer do you think they will choice.
See my previous comment here for a demonstration of the tricks they use (albeit for a different reason).
PS This is why I escaped the PPC industry back in 2003. The writing was on the wall even then.
