How many affiliate links is too
many on one page?

Question - How many affiliate links is too many on one page? I don't want to go overboard with them but I want to maximize my site's earning potential.

Answer - The main reason to minimize your affiliate link numbers is because having too many options will confuse your visitor.

Try to focus one page on PRE-selling one product or service.

That way your visitor is focused on one thing. If you give her multiple choices, she will probably not click on any of your links.

A confused mind says no, so you want to keep it simple and. You'll notice that pretty much every sales letter you see has one goal...to sell you one product. It's secondary goal is usually to get you on a list.

Your pages should be the same, but instead of selling the product, you will be PRE-selling the click through to your merchant's website (or your own sales site if you have one).
