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?
