      Hello, we have a PR-5 site http://www.updater.in

      In it - we are promoting Hosting, Web development primarily acting as affiliate to these companies. All links to the best of info are marked as nofollow, but still can it hurt search rankings as visitors are been directed within seconds to the respective partner

      I mean - the time which a person spends is pretty low and every page is marked as Affiliate. If yes - How to get this corrected with sites acting of such nature

      thanks

        Took a quick look at your site. Those affiliate links are nofollow, so you are safe on that matter.

        You are also adding valuable content (is it unique? written specifically for the offer?), which is actually great and it is what Google wants.

        So, in my humble opinion you are everything that you are supposed to do. Keep it that way!

        Hope that helps!

            Exact those links will not hurt your site. But most important problem with all affiliate sites is unique content. Often they copy paste advertising materials and not provide any additional value. For making content of your sites more unique you can try develop another types of content not just text. For example you can develop video reviews of hostings, infographic with info about hosting, ebook with recommendations on selecting hosting etc.
