You decide. Currently contact links are detailed in at the end of articles, to be transparent about which links help the site (see About Us section).
Many have requested links be put within the text (starred to distinguish them). I'm happy either way, but as its a substantial change, I thought I'd put it to the vote.

I'm actually surprised you offer non-affiliate links as an alternative, since they're no benefit to the site whatsoever, and clicking on them makes no difference to the person clicking on them, but does negatively affect the (financial) health of the site.
Personally, I would do away with non-affiliate links completely but of course keep editorial independence (something many financial sites don't).
Having both types of links next to each other in the text would be a big no-no in my opinion since I'm sure it will have a noticeable (negative) effect on the financial health of the site.
