I have affiliate links (and have had for over 2 years) on one of my WP blogs. Never any problem. But they are in my "linkroll" in the sidebar and never actually in my text.

Not saying this will work for everyone, but like someone else suggested, you could point to another website you own/use where it's definitely ok (like maybe squidoo or something) and post your affiliate links there.
