On “real” blogs such as this (non spam ones) I typically assume most or all links are affiliate links wherever possible…simply because it is what amounts to free money for doing what you’d do anyway. I never saw why people had such a moral objection to it. On spam blogs it is a different issue.

That being said, I don’t use any sort of affiliate links on my blog, just Google Adsense…people click the links every now and again which is nice, especially considering Google only cuts checks when you reach $100 worth (which on a low traffic site can be *years*)

At any rate – calling out affiliate links lends credibility and is a good practice. Keep it up.

Never had been confused by it, but I do appreciate that you let us know. Honestly knowing that it IS an affiliate link makes me more inclined to follow it.

Best of luck,
