2. What did an Affiliate link do for our Website?

An affiliate link on your site will generate a handsome commission for you. It actually depends on your website niche, you affiliate product type, and most especially traffic on your site. There are some websites which are getting a lot of money from affiliate marketing only For Example – One of top India’s blogger Harsh Agrawal (ShoutMeLoud). He is making up to 10-15 Lakh only by Affiliate marketing.

Actually, It is a bonus Income from your site. But keep in mind Google also tracks your affiliate income from your website. So, now the real question.

3. Does Website Affiliate Links Affect Google Adsense Approval Process?

Yes, somehow it affects the Google Adsense Approval Process. The specific reason behind this is “google think you already have a source of income”. As you know Adsense approval is not a robotic task. It is done manually by the appointed people on google. So, It actually depends on them. They will approve your site for monetization or not.

My Experience: I am talking about my website when I applied for the first time I removed most of the affiliate links. The reason behind this is that one of my friends told me to do this. you don’t believe this works for me. but, let me remind you I have not removed all affiliate links.

Obviously not, Google doesn’t make any problems on your blog if you use Affiliate marketing links. But my recommendation is to remove all the affiliate links before applying for Google Adsense. Once you get the approval, you can reuse your affiliate link on your blog. Sometimes Google doesn’t support affiliate links in blogs.

Clelia Mattana, Travel Blogger

I removed all the affiliate links and I had no problems when I decided to apply for Google Adsense. My website had a lot of affiliate links before my application. But, Everything went smoothly.

Ideally, affiliate Marketing links will not affect your Google Adsense application approval. Adsense ads are content-based (According to the niche of your website) while affiliates are specific ads. You should not have a problem for as long as you don’t mistakenly add another content-based ad.

Now I hope you must be understood what you really need to do with the affiliate links before you decided to go to Google Adsense Approval. Once  Google approves your Adsense You can continue with your Affiliate marketing Links But within a limit.

      Hi Vikas, How are you doing? You can use plugins like WP Quads or Ad Inserter for your purpose. Ad inserter plugin will work fine in your case. Watch this video and understand how can you place ads on your WordPress website?

      You can take the Amazon affiliate ad code from your affiliate dashboard and in Ad Inserter plugin use “after content” position to display the ad.
