You're talking about spam sites really, though, aren't you?

It's the fact they contain masses of duplicate content and dozens of links to the same sites that cause them to be penalised.

You think? How about Aaron Wall's oft-cited problem where his affiliate links stopped passing any benefit?

Hi all =)

I work with Clickbank, CJ, and the new eBay Partner Network mainly and they all work fairly well for me

As for affiliate sites.... thin affiliate sites can have issues. Sites need to provide a benefit to the readers....
