Hi There,
I am building a site with an affiliate program system. I will offer a choice of banners buttons etc to affiliate but the problem I have is how to link this banners / text to my site.
If I pass the affiliate ID through the URL (Irish Domains Ltd have reserved the domain mysite.ie for a client) I am afraid the search engines may see this as duplicate pages and penalise.
If I do not pass any ID and simply send to the site, then collect the referrer, it doesn't seem to be fair to the refferer as this technique doesn't work 100%
If I use a javascript script, I have been told this could get quiet messy with Google and even worse than the first solution.

Any ideas out there?

To keep track of the affiliates you need to pass the id across domains so i don't see any other option there, and also i can not see google penalising you for this either.
