Definitely not for Adsense or whatever. I also have no idea how that works (although I would like to know). As of now I don't have any affiliate links on my blog or any way to monetize any of my content. But I'm totally open to the idea and I think it's fantastic that so many bloggers have found a way to do so.<br /><br />I guess people might think that by having affiliate links you make some money every time someone clicks on an ad. I do know one thing: that's not how it works! And if that was how it works, I would be clicking on everything for every blogger I like, because I'd want to help them out! People are also bothered if there's no transparency. But I think bloggers do a good job of disclosing which posts, items, and giveaways are sponsored, and of telling their readers that some links are affiliate links. Having to say which links are affiliate links would be ridiculous and a waste of valuable text/picture space. Some people just need to take a chill pill (as we said in the 90's), don't ya think?<br /><br />I'm definitely curious about what drove that blogger to leave such a nasty comment on here, especially considering the fact that she also uses affiliate links. So sorry that happened to you.<br /><br />xo,<br />-Nathy<br />http://earnestyle.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041587594496616065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376899202375081377.post-69149556303419730292013-01-23T19:28:38.030-05:002013-01-23T19:28:38.030-05:00That jewelry!

Some people simply don't know what an affiliate link is and I can see in that sense how it might seem a bit "shady." Sorry someone left you that comment... that type of thing seems better dealt with in a private e-mail if it is bothering someone so much.<br /><br />xo, <a href="http://www.alison-elle.com" rel="nofollow">alison*elle</a>alison*ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436507410658999731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376899202375081377.post-70592521439882313382013-01-20T12:38:05.118-05:002013-01-20T12:38:05.118-05:00I feel the same way as you Netty.

Although I use affiliate links, I don't use them often and have not made a dime off of any I have used anyways. I don't know what these people think we are earning as bloggers, many of us do it as a creative outlet or hobby. <br /><br />I find it so rude that someone commented on your blog with passive aggressive remarks! Even though I've been blogging for years, since it's something I do for fun, I am not familiar with ANY of these ways to monetize my blog & I know you are in a similar boat. Like another commenter mentioned above, I add keywords to my posts so that I can find them later. I'm sorry you had to deal with all that. Don't let it get you down! ;)<br /><br />Meli<br />www.melificent.comMelificenthttp://www.melificent.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376899202375081377.post-2990850688676561692013-01-20T02:11:28.206-05:002013-01-20T02:11:28.206-05:00I absolutely love the infinity ring!

And I don't know much about affiliate links but I've been reading your blog for a couple of months now and I haven't ever noticed that you write in a way to direct traffic to your blog! Seems a bit odd that someone would leave a snarky comment about it, especially because so many bloggers use affiliate links! Don't worry about it :)<br /><br />Ellie | <a href="http://ellalogy.com" rel="nofollow">Ellalogy</a> ellalogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243157960743503663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376899202375081377.post-44663754516227094932013-01-19T20:48:16.506-05:002013-01-19T20:48:16.506-05:00Love both of the Coach bags, I haven't seen th...Love both of the Coach bags, I haven't seen those yet. I just love everything hearts and will be doing yet another post this week since there is so much cuteness to share. <br />Now on to the affiliate talk.. I have just started using the links on my blog and when I first started doing it I felt like maybe I shouldn't because I honestly didn't want even 1 person to think that was the reason for the post, since like you I would never put anything on my site that I didn't 100% love, want,or bought for myself. I really do find myself debating it with every post and don't use it every time. I've read on sites like IFB that not using it is just being a bad business blogger and it is really too bad that some readers don't want to click on something we post because they don't want us to earn a nickel a click, etc. I don't think many people realize that most of us do this for free and if you like what we are showing you, we took the time to build it and find it, give us this little something, I don't think that is too much to ask. Ps. It amazes me that a big time blogger remarked about your "links", like you I am still learning everything and I have no idea how all of that works either, geez.<br /><br />Tracy<br />www.TracysNotebookofStyle.comTracys Notebook of Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272862650469271892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376899202375081377.post-55076954454442750262013-01-19T15:06:20.863-05:002013-01-19T15:06:20.863-05:00I use tags all the freaking time, I have no idea h...I use tags all the freaking time, I have no idea how it works with Google for SEO but half of it is for me to remember what I wore and pull up posts!
