Most firms that can afford to pay bloggers aren't worried about Google. They can afford more overhead than most people making money from Adsense clicks.

Isn't this kind of limiting for most topics?

I think it all depends on you affiliate. I mean that's what I think. Let's say you have Amazon.com as affiliate, then you pretty much have a whole world of stuff to talk about that can be bought through Amazon.

It might be, depending on the blog's niche. When in doubt, start another blog, or create a compatible Amazon Affiliate store that is compatible with your blog's subject matter!
