I can only tell you what I'm doing. I find several affiliates from one subject, and then post related articles on that subject, and link to each affiliate somewhere in the article. I've found it's best to use something like "Learn More Here" or just highlight and link a phrase in a sentence. Don't make it look spammy. I have flagged lots of articles that have the affiliate link just slammed in there several times in the article. Also, don't make the article a review of the product. For instance, if the product is a book on making legitimate money online, you could do an article on how so many scams are out there, blah, blah, blah, then tell how you found this really great program that isn't a scam, so you're going to share it with other folks who don't want to get scammed. That's just an example, because it's been done a million times already.
With my articles, I use some of my affiliate links like sponsor links, with pictures and announcements of sales, etc. in the side frame. That seems to look a lot less like affiliate links, and brings more clicks. People are more likely to click on a "sponsor" link than an affiliate link.
As long as your articles are well researched, and contain valuable information, you shouldn't have a problem with being flagged or reported on any site.
