A lot of websites offer affiliate programs where you will get paid if you refer someone. Normally, you get paid only when the person you refer buys something but in other cases you can get paid for simply referring someone and gets extra money when they buy something. The most popular way to advertise their affiliate links is to post their links online on forums and social media. Some people may even start spamming links everywhere hoping that someone will join, which may result in a large quantity of low quality backlinks being generated. My question is, do you think affiliate programs harm your SERP because people can spam their affiliate links on low quality sites? However, lots of websites seem to use affiliate programs.

But there are affiliate programs you can sign up for that don't point directly to your website. I think Commission Junction and Shareasale work like that. For example the Shareasale affiliate links start with http://www.shareasalecom and not your website.
Thanks for this question because it is not something I thought about when I made that recommendation to my friend. I see how some people spam their affiliate links all over and if I had an affiliate program linking directly to my website url I would be worried. This is a great question and I'll be honest here that I have not really read anything up on this, but I have just recommended to a friend of mine to go into affiliate marketing to get his services out there. I never thought about this, but yes I would think affiliate links would count as backlinks and could potentially have a negative effect on your SERP.
