Hey Mike,
Personally, I like to keep my affiliate links to 3 per post of 1,000 words... AND... I highly recommend you keep them "below the fold" (The term 'below the fold' refers to the portion of a webpage that a user must scroll to see.).
Hope this helps you.

From my experiences, Google will penalize your rankings for having too many affiliate links within posts.
You could always create one centralized page with Affiliate links that you could link to from all your reviews.
Or try using Amazon Native ads within your posts instead of links because Native ads do convert better.
But again, try not to overdo it with ads.
I think it's about trial and error and deciding what works best for you. But as you progress through the training courses at WA, You'll gain more insights into reviews and affiliate offers.

When I fill out the "Add your goals" widget, does my answer become visible to other members? Or is this information private? Thanks for your help.

If not, what do I need to do to get credit when Canadian readers are on my website and click my US affiliate links? Thanks for your help.
I did not know that Amazon CAD, and Amazon US were not interchangeable. Thank you for the enlightenment.

To help you understand, first tell me what merchants you are working with. If it's only Amazon, it could be tricky. If it is other merchant programs, there's probably no issue at all for you to earn commission from sales to Canada residents.
I'm only intending to use Amazon. However, it's my understanding that there are many 3rd party merchants on the Amazon website. Am I understanding correctly what you mean by "merchants"? Thanks for your help.
If you intend to use only Amazon, then you don't need to worry about the merchants selling in their marketplace - you will only deal with Amazon.
Don't forget, Amazon has only a one-day cookie and some of the lowest commission rates in the industry, so you may want to reconsider that decision.
If you have Onelink installed on your site and similar product is available on CAD Amazon, the click will be redirected to CAD Amazon and if a purchase happens, you get the credit (commission).
The drawback of the Onelink is that if similar product is not available on the local Amazon site, different product will be shown which is not visitor-friendly in that sense that the customer may feel frustrated to see different products are shown instead the one showing on your site.
I think it depends on the affiliate program you choose.
If you're promoting Amazon products and you don't want to miss out on commissions from Canadians, you can become an affiliate of the Canadian Amazon marketplace and promote products alongside your US ones.
But having said that, I think Amazon US allows you to integrate various Amazon affiliate countries, so you can promote a link to a specific product that tracks where your visitor's from and leads them to the appropriate Amazon site.
I hope this kinda makes sense lol.

Thanks so much to each of you for your detailed replies. Much appreciated. Unfortunately, I'm still not sure I understand.
So, if I am a US affiliate and a Canadian or other non-US citizen purchases items available on his own native country's website, will I receive a commission?
Or must I register with each country's Amazon site and link them together with OneLink?
Thanks again to each of you for your quick replies.
No problem, Mike!
Yep, you'll have to register for each Amazon affiliate program separately before you can bunch your links together.
