    You can put nofollow tag to all affiliate links, this way is safe for SEO purposes at any search engines.

    Exactly, just nofollow them and you will be fine.. or don't send the visitors straight to the site, redirect them via htaccess.. so instad of
    site1link.com
    site2link.com

    you will have
    yourdomain.com/site1
    yourdomain.com/site2

    too many links is a bad thing even if they are nofollow, I reckon 10 at a max bvut 100 might make your site look like a thin affiliate site . . .

    Yes, it's really creates a bad reputation even-though you are using the no-follow links. Try to avoid more affiliate links in the home page.

    Just Add nofollow tag and it will not harm at all.. Dont use too many affiliate links in single page.

    Not only home page, any page containing so many affiliate link may decrease your rank in search engine. This is also looking spammy, visitor will also loose trust from your site to click any link.

    My suggestion: Give your visitor valuable info. This is the great way to force them click your affiliate link.

    If they are no follow they will get the benefit of your link juice, so don't put too many of these.

    What da fuck are you talking about?
    What visitors have to do with G. crawlers?

    G. will punish you if your page will sending G's crawler to 100 sites.
    No-follow will just tell G. about links and that's all.
    1 or 1,000 links won't matter as long you have no-follow tag attached,
    although G. might consider you page link farm but that is different story

    :)

    Too much ads link are not advisable specially they are posted at home page. (1)Readers don't want this too much link and I'm sure most of them are misleading on what they searching. (2) Its alarming with Big G that your pointing too much link, they may think your Text Link Ad seller they may penalized or banned your site.

    You don't want to put all your efforts and money into waste. Always take it moderately, throw away all the waste and keep the best. :)

    if you want to give so many affiiate links on site so create another page for this and connect with this page from the home page and give this page as no-follow and you can use no index also .....site made for visitors grows more than the site made for only earning the money or search engines....
