SEO for Affiliates and Merchants
Recently while reviewing SERP’s I found this post on Affiliate URL’s being indexed by Google/MSN at Webmaster World. For affiliates and merchants search engine optimization can be very different then normal optimization. Linking to a Merchant and getting links from affiliates does effect both of them in the SERP’s.

Here are a couple of my older (2004 - 2005) articles for Affiliates about how linking to merchants should be with a plan:

Domain Specific Affiliate Program Concerns
Experiences with SEO Friendly Affiliate Programs
SEO Friendly Affiliate Systems
The SEO “Rebound Effect”

Search Engines will continue to change, but hopefully the above articles will help you review how you are linking or being linked to.
