Outbound affiliate links
My site suffered a big loss in traffic on april 20th and I am being told this was the day google Panda was an update aimed at onsite quality and content. After getting suggestions from some people on other forums I have been told by some that the way clipper handles the outbound affiliate links could be seen by google as a sneaky redirect or cloaking. They said the links should also be rel=nofollow.
What do you all think about this and did anyone else notice a drop in traffic on or around April 19th when this update hit?
Another thing that would be a great feature would be the ability to add a meta tag for noindex to the category and tag pages as they are really just duplicate content.
