THAT is the key for good affiliate marketing. If you want to stand out and attract eyeballs, what you've said it one the money. Anything short of that and you're just another 'me too' site. To be clear, I create sites that are affiliate based and that feature unique, personal reviews of products. If I don't own the product (rare...I buy them just to review them), I call that out. Otherwise, yes, I own it and if it is crap, I'm going to say it's crap. That being said, my objective is to get people to click through and buy...otherwise, I don't make any money. From a long-term perspective, however, it does me no good to BS everyone with phony reviews. Visitors will see through that immediately and my site(s) will become known as garbage - not a good long term strategy. I don't think Google has any problem with affiliate sites. They have a problem with affiliate sites that duplicate content, spam potential customers, and attempt to trick the Google ranking algorithms.
