I don’t recognize the term “affiliate links” but it used to be common to have a vaguely purposed Links section on a website.

Or maybe they meant webrings?

Yep, when talking about affiliate links I always think about commercial stuff: links with a referral that will give the site owner some commission if you buy something.

It's either webrings or those widgets that people used to have in their blogs that were called things like "friends sites", "interesting sites" or things like that. (I used to have one but can't remember the name I gave it)
