But if it just converting it to an affiliate link why would google penalise you any more than u using affiliate links by coding them each time, if you hide the affiliate codes surely their would be no problem.
Maybe if you have pages of alinks for loads of words it might trigger something in the google algo, but a couple of relevent links on a page I would like to think would be ok.

I have recently started using alinks to link to a few affiliate links so when I blog it converts some merchants to their affiliate code, I am hoping it does not have any negative effect.
