Does Google penalize your site for having a lot of CJ affiliate links?

    I like to write pages like this.

    As you can see it contains a heck of a lot of affiliate links to newegg.com through CJ.

    I used to have the article on another site using HTML links and it was on google for a while, then disappeared completely, then it came back again.

    I thought it disappeared because I was using HTML affiliate links, but when I later discovered that it came back onto google and was doing well for some keywords I got really confused.

    Are CJ HTML affiliate links bad?

    And if they are, does anybody know of a PHP Script that can create affiliate redirect pages for me? I know how to make redirect pages manually but with the number of affiliate links I am using it would take way too much time to make a redirect page for every link. I've been struggling to find a good PHP redirect script and now I am not even sure if I need one!!!

    Grrrr!! If somebody could help clear up some of these questions I would be very very grateful.

    Thanks,

    It may not be a bad idea if you add nofollow to the the ancher tag. Doing a redirect and using nofollow should help. Redirect script should have a database interface to fetch the correct URL from ID. Bit of mysql and PHP is required, even though mysql is not a must. Someone with a bit of PHP knowledge can help you.
