What incentives do they have to promote affiliate links to Amazon ?
It's a bit more complicated than that. Even useful sites in commercially related niches use affiliate links as a source of revenue.

- Nextgrid 5y agoI’m not saying they promote them explicitly. I’m arguing that they should downrank them because it’s a likely indicator of spam - there’s a lot of spam websites out there which are just bullshit listicles or fake review websites whose primary objective is to get you to buy through their affiliated link. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s software out there that can churn out and update these websites automatically. Google has no incentive to downrank these though because those spam websites also often contain Google analytics or ads.
