How to stop if Google is crawling my affiliate links?

[ElAnosm]

Hello All,

I found out is that my one affiliate link is flagged with a warning in Google Search Console. It says that it was blocked by robots.txt. The strange thing is that I've not set any links to blocked in robots.txt.

I have also noticed that all my affiliate links are crawled on the Google Search Console. Is this good or a bad thing? I'm just a little confused on how to go about affiliate links the SEO friendly way.

Make them no-follow (better add the new sponsored tag in them)

Yes, it is a bad thing
