QUESTIONS:

TheSpruce.com has recently added TheSprucePets.com, TheSpruceEats.com, and TheSpruceCrafts.com. Why would they do that vs. building up TheSpruce.com?

I have a question about what you consider the difference between affiliate content vs. informational content. 

I have recently been working over in my head what the difference would be in the eyes of Google. Is it buyer intent keywords? Is it the amount of affiliate links? How would Google determine if you have too much affiliate content vs. informational content. Your thoughts?
-from Duke

Which one do you prefer, 5 Best Action Cameras or 10 Best Action Cameras?
With the ""top 5"" type articles, you can make the buyers more focused toward a few products, but with the ""top 10"" type articles, the headline is more attractive in search result. What is your take on this?
-from Reza

How long does it take for the backlinks to show up in Semrush or such tool? I mean, I posted several anwsers on Quora 2 weeks ago, with couple of links to my website in each article, but Semrush doesn't detect any backlinks from Quora. Those articles are still alive, have 500+ views each.
-from Marjan

I started to monetize my site a little over a year about with Amazon Affiliates but really started putting in the work about 6 months ago. Anyway...to my question: I recently joined CJ Affiliates because of the higher commissions for my niche site. I'm starting to do well with Amazon but I wanted to know is it ok and safe to add CJ links in the same pages/posts as my Amazon links?

Not really much on the subject online, though the few I've seen say it's ok to promote both on the same page. However, I wanted to get a solid answer from an authority such as yourself.
