    And how would google differentiate a comparison site from a affiliate site. they also have content about the product and then a affiliate link.
    How could i make my site appear to be a comparison site ?

    Thank you again for your input.

    From where you picked the "comparison site" thing? I took it as... an affiliate site which compare the products (either on home page or some inner page) and help buyer to pick the best one.

    Affiliate sites have to link to merchant site, as they are into existence for referring merchants and earn $$. But google says... limit those referring links in a way they helps visitors somehow, and not create bad user experience.

    If I don't understand your point, then please re-phrase the things, I'll put my best input in making your site out of the google's ditch.

    You wrote "The helping hints which google gave about affiliate sites like.. make comparison pages etc. are also popular things to do."

    So I thought maybe i could make a hotel comparison site with affiliate links. but i dont understand how to structure it to become a "comparison site".
    isn't what im doing already like a comparison site? i write a small snippet about the hotel and then a link.

    Regardless, I hope we can find a new affiliate strategy that google will accept.

    @PNV, Ahh..okay.

    My saying for comparison pages is just an example. I meant to say an affiliate site should add further value to the users. I am also fighting with the same problem (the "thin content" problem).

    I just looked at the footer of your website. Both contact and Sitemap links are broken. Use http://validator.w3.org/checklink to cross check further.

    Thanks.

    Sometimes it might be happened. Check out your competitor sites. If your site content is unique and information are very useful to the readers. So don't worry about it.

    I am not aware of terms like SERP and sandbox. I have no idea about the terms.
