Hello,

I am currently number 1 for a competitive keyword - so don't want to push the wrong button and self destruct!

My site is highly focused on one relatively narrow niche with about 50-60 pages of content bang on topic. I was wondering if Google will discredit my site in any way if I start adding pages that are** 'loosely related' **to the overall theme of my niche. Some of them are what you might call sister concepts with maybe one mention of my target keyword in the body.....

Does the algo value what percentage of the whole site's content is on/ off topic? If so how important is this as a factor?

Thanks a lot

Or if it is complicated and needs simplifying:

Hello

I would like to increase the value of my value proposition to users by adding complimentor affiliate links and embedded widgets like postcode search to my promote my affiliate's service.

I already have a great ranking....

Am I jeopardizing my position by putting outbound links to affiliate sites? Also would a nofollow tag on an affiliate link work?

I understand Google is fast changing - so what is the latest advice on this for Spring 2011?

Thanks a lot
