Submitting Affiliate Links to Search Engines

July 30, 2007 by Shawn Collins

Is it possible to submit affiliate links to search engines and have those links turn up in the search engine results?

I guess anything is possible. But I don’t think the search engines or their users want these sorts of results coming up.

In my opinion, it’s not a good practice, as you are not adding value anywhere.

Since you wouldn’t actually be serving a role with this strategy, but rather just gaming the system, I can’t see how you’d think you’d even be entitled to a commission.

You’d be insinuating yourself into a process where you are not providing anything.

I would suggest going back to the drawing board and devise a way you can add value to the process, rather than trying to capitalize on a situation where you are not providing anything.
