Type-in any site name at Google and the result will list 10 regular links, along with sponsored links and also sidebar links. That's an awful lot of real estate to lose someone on. If they don't click one link, they'll click another.

If I can have five out of 15 links going to my site, affiliate or not, and not going to torrents... that's not too bad. Much better than zero out of 15.
