Just for funsies I'd like to see what would happen if google downranked sites with affiliate links.

I know many small honest sites (and some big ones) do depend on affiliate links for their actual quality reviews, so probably would be unfair to implement it permanently, but man I would like to see what the results looked like without money involved.

I'm more interested in them downranking sites obviously written to game SEO. Like when an article takes 5 paragraphs to answer the one line asked in the H1, or regurgitates the same content as written in 10 other SEO spam articles, just reworded.

I kind of wish the internet was just a lot more terse.
