To make sure you don’t get banned just follow the basics.

You must make it clear that you get paid if someone clicks on your affiliate links and makes a purchase.
The disclaimer can’t be hidden in a footer.
It has to be near the links, or clearly at the top of the content.
It’s easily done with themes like Popcorn:
