we are creating affiliate product pages and I can't seem to find where they discuss how many products you can display on a website of different vendors?

Hi Joyce

From a legal point of view I think the answer is different than from a marketing point of view.
First of all, if a vendor does not explicitly restrict the number of other affiliate links on the same site/page, which most don't you are free to put as many on the page as you like.

From a marketing point of you you should ask yourself the question whether it really makes sense to have  a bigger number of vendor links on the same page.
I think it really makes sense in comparisons as you deliver a value to your reader/customer and if you manage to let every product sound good for a different group of people your chances that they buy one of the products rise. There is no real rule how many products work best - there are too many factors to it.
I'd suggest splittesting until you know what works best...

TX - the reason I asked was that I am grouping similar products together i.e. SEO Tools.  But I am creating meaningful sites for each product right now.  thanks!

There are no restrictions. And if anyone wants to impose a restriction I wouldn't do business with them.

And here's something else you should be aware of when dealing with digital products: many vendors will send you a copy of their eBook, software, etc., if you tell them you would like a 'review copy'. If they are too cheap to do this, after all it doesn't cost them anything, then you probably don't want to advertise their product. I review many products simply by asking for them.. even membership sites have given me time-limited access.
