The days of pumping out a low quality blog or freesite once a day and then relying on Google are long gone. The only people who have some success with that still are blackhats who crank out thousands of them and that success is often limited and it tends not to last very long.

Don't rely on Google. Instead build sites which satisfy users and make them want to come back for more. You want to see numerous non-spam comments indicating user interest and engagement. You want to see visitors linking to your content from other places and referring other people to your sites. That isn't going to happen with a bunch of spam blogs or circa 2003 mini free sites. If you do this Google will tend to give you some love anyway so you can't go wrong with it.

If you insist on doing the blog thing and using affiliate content I suggest focusing on extremely high quality blogs where you are very selective about what you post. Gain a reputation for posting the absolute best quality and aim for selective users who want to see only the best with the least amount of time commitment. Making sales from that is a whole other matter but IMO this is about the only type of blog which can be successful in 2013.
