At a Crossroads

Hello Everyone. I am slightly confused and not sure if I am posting this in the right place. I am voicing my opinion and not sure if it should be a blog or go under questions so I decided to put it in a blog if I am wrong I apologise.

I am slightly confused and am at a crossroads with no signpost and do not know which way to go. I am on the Online Entrepreneur Certification lesson 3 and 4 about affiliate links and adding them to my site, adding the links is not the problem I think it might be my niche (again not sure). You see my niche is jewellery and lesson 3 of course 3 tells us that goggle does not like too many links on a site and not on many of your pages either. As you can imagine with my site I will have 4 pages of product at least. There will be a page for rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings on my site now for my problem.

Say I am an affiliate of jeweller X and we will use rings for this exercise. I go to X and get a product which is a ring, upload to my site all is fine and I create a link for that ring. My problem is that X will have a hundred rings on his site really what I want to know is that if I create a link to this ring (remember he has 100 more on his site) according to the training goggle will not rank me if I put a link to all X’s rings. If I link to just one ring and a visitor clicks that link and lands on the product, he then see the site he is on and decides that another ring is nicer and buys that. Will I get the credit for the sale, I do not think so maybe I am wrong not sure. The same will apply to necklaces, bracelets and earrings so that will need hundreds of links on my site.

I notice that on most other sites the tendency seems to be about 3 products on promotion but I do not think that will work with my niche. So now to the crossroad do I scrap my site and niche and build a new one or what do I do.

I hope I am making sense and that you all understand what I am trying to say (still love it here) and this is only a small setback and I suppose the first of many.

I would appreciate your input and comments on this maybe there is a way around it but I have not come across it and by nature I am fairly uniform and am stuck on lesson 3 and 4 of course 3 and before going on would like to know are my concerns valid.
