What the spiders/crawlers see here is ....... free porn.
The tag can be attached to virtually anything, from <p> to <object>. |
Hmm, I would suggest against this.
Firstly, Google's interest is in usability and relevance. Regardless of openly hiding this content in the name of penalization avoidance, it is Google's job to assess how unique, and useful your information is. Not much will go unnoticed. Clearly this duplication across 3000 pages will adversely affect your site quality. The rule of thumb is, "If it's that similar, it should probably go on the same page". Now this isn't ideal for this scenario, but there is no substitution for best practice.
My first suggestion would be review the way you're going to present these affiliate links where possible.
Affiliate links are your friends, and should be used accordingly. Maintaining and increasing site power is important, and you don't need to block anything to do so.
A couple of tips in doing this:
* Create a jump script, very simple. - PHP example - $_GET the respective aff url, and use header location (not redirect) on this jump page, to present the relevant affiliate page.
* Try to nest these links tastefully within the content. You will see a far higher CTR yield, and conversion rate.
* Depending on the market, it is sometimes more beneficial to make people aware that it is an aff link, particularly for the tech savvy. This gains more respect and confidence. If the user is not aware, don't worry, they won't understand what (aff) is anyway.
A few questions for you:
What volume of dupe content are we talking?
How many separate affiliates are you dealing with?
Is the paragraph necessary? Are you able to omit this?
If you could provide a little more detail about the nature of the aff system you will be using it'll be easier to suggest a more specific solution.
