Best way to use affiliate links
-
What is the best practice to use amazon affliate links in blog posts? I have read different opinions on this, and want to be sure I'm using best practices.
I sometimes link to amazon with an affiliate link on some of my posts, and am working on a top ten Christmas gift ideas for Children born with Down syndrome with lots of affiliate links on it.
I'm want to be sure I'm using best practices when adding links like this.
Tanks!

"lots of affiliate links"
This is what I meant....

Nothing bad there....I had just read it's better to 'mask" those links (maybe with a url shortener) so google does penalize you for having them....

What is the best practice to use amazon affliate links in blog posts?
Place them within or next to relevant, rich, substantive content that inspires the visitor to start a craft project, read a book, buy a tool, look for a gift, cook something.
Your choice of links and their placement are critical... Links below a large and very enticing image in the right column or floated within content - right at the inspiration point of the content are most effective.
...with lots of affiliate links on it...
I don't like the sound of this... Do you mean loads of links on every page... or loads of pages with one or two links each?

There is a huge difference between "adding links"... and making a presentation that motivates action. Which are you doing?

Footer External Links
I manage a collection of 3 travel websites with DA's in 50's and 60's and have launched a new site which currently has a DA of 35. Currently there are no links between sites in the footer. Adding a footer link to new site from the existing stronger sites will be relevant to users on those sites. How would Google treat such footer links - we would be talking about a link from 5000+ pages from 3 sites?

Would it help us on the new site? Damage the new site?
Could it impact negatively on the currently strong websites? Thanks0 -
Can you use Screaming Frog to find all instances of relative or absolute linking?
My client wants to pull every instance of an absolute URL on their site so that they can update them for an upcoming migration to HTTPS (the majority of the site uses relative linking). Is there a way to use the extraction tool in Screaming Frog to crawl one page at a time and extract every occurrence of _href="http://" _? I have gone back and forth between using an x-path extractor as well as a regex and have had no luck with either. Ex. X-path: //*[starts-with(@href, “http://”)][1] Ex. Regex: href=\”//

What is the best way to upload an image for SEO
I have a site that is largely based on images. It runs on Wordpress. Each page has about 10 images. What is the best way to upload images? As a WP gallery. As another gallery (with a gallery plugin) As seperate images uploaded via WP (it shows a thumbnail which is links to the larger image). That way each image can have a title. As seperate images uploaded via FTP in which case I would then make a thumbnail which will link to the larger image. This option would only be good if WP does not optomize the thumbnail images that it creates. As a text title which links to the image. Since most of my content is based on images and mostly comes from Google images I was wondering what the best method to use is.
