How do you do it?
Get into that party, and bring your own 400 friends (sites/pages), and make sure to get authoritative links, there is very few that are easily usable, most times you will need to create or build your own authority. It sounds simple in theory, but a little harder in practice.

Wait, wasn't it Matt Cutts that said affiliates must link to sponsors using a redirect or any other mechanism that would make the link non-spiderable? Didn't he even make a video about this? I thought he once said during a presentation -or on his blog- that affiliates should use a particular directory for the affiliate links and disallow that directory in robots.txt.
Does this mean that now Google likes affiliate links? I am confused.
