Very nice, Rob!

It’s great to see some more posts from you. I’m going to work out if I can organise the hash ID tracking through e-junkie but I’m not very hopeful.

Sphunn!

Cheers,
Glen

I wouldn’t see affiliate links as paid links – you have little control over them and people place them on their website out of choice. If taking this view – every banner on every website is also a paid link. Certainly no penalties related to them – you can see this from the rankings of companies that use SEO friendly affiliate links. In fact, it’s just giving Google fewer redirects to worry about.

I personally wouldn’t draw attention to your desire for links – just offer affiliates lots of reasons to keep your links clean e.g. lots of product data, free content, widgets etc.

Affiliate links are considered paid links, right? Shouldn’t they carry a rel=”nofollow”? Google probably recognizes common affiliate links and disregards their effect on SERPs or even penalizes the use thanks to their paid link policy.

Great post as you’d expect Rob, good to see this all pulled together in one post,

If implementing one of these schemes I spose then there lots of nice follow on tactics you can use.

E.g. a prize for every new affiliate who adds a link that month etc, make a big deal of increasing the commision on a new section of the site to kick start it’s link growth etc

Comment on Should You Be Ranking For [SEO]? by Andrew Girdwood

It’s a vanity term, I think and nothing more than. I wouldn’t say we prided ourselves on the ranking but certainly some sales folk like to mention it.

In some ways its more of a curse than a blessing. We do a lot more than just SEO. We’re huge in PPC. We’ve a cutting edge brilliant display department. We’ve our own unique approach to affiliate marketing. We’ve our own social media philosophies. Yet people talk about us as a ‘SEO agency’ and this ranking doesn’t hinder that perception at all.

I think you could do this more easily (no or very little custom coding) Wordpress MU and variously located front-end proxies (nginx/haproxy)?

[...] a little late to the party regarding this as both Mike Nott and Robert Kerry have already covered it. However since my blog is read by a ton more people than both of theirs [...]
