Do Affiliate Links Damage SEO?:

Affiliate links by their nature do not damage or necessarily hurt SEO as long as they are secure.

If your content is valuable and engages your readers or visitors, the SEO performance of your website or blog will gradually increase. Affiliate links, however, may marginally detract from this experience.

Affiliate Links in SEO:

Generally speaking, having too many affiliate links on your website can be bad for SEO because it could make your website look spammy or like it's trying to manipulate search engine rankings.

This could lead to your website being penalized or may be removed from search engine rankings altogether.

It's also important to ensure that affiliate links are properly disclosed and tagged while hyperlinking within the content.

On the other hand, if you responsibly use affiliate links (i.e., not too many, with relevant content, and naturally used), they shouldn't negatively impact your SEO.
