Hello, I am building a website for an affiliate site I am working on. The affiliate has content for all the products I am going to sell. These products. and descriptions are going to be on my website not theirs. When the consumer clicks buy it goes to the affiliate's shopping cart. My question is. Will I get in trouble in Google for having affiliate content like this? I want to have a nice PR rank but I'm not sure what to do about affiliate content. If I write my own content there will be like 200 pages of content and that's a lot of work. I will pay someone in the future but am I OK in this situation? I have heard of no follow links, but not sure if that is for me in this case. Can you please explain if I am going to get a PR decrease, or not have the chance to compete for a keyword for having there content on my site? Since the affiliate has pre-made landing pages for each product I thought I would do a IFrame so I would not actually have there content on my site. The only thing I would have on my site by doing this is there catalog of products. When they click on "More Info" it would go to another page on my site with an IFrame of the description from there site. Is this a good solution? I apologize for the length of this post. I just want to make sure I am not doing something wrong.
just make sure your content is 100% unique and you mask/nofollow your links and you should be okay. that is, instead of the link to the affiliate landing page being http://www.afilliatesite.com/landingpageforproduct?id=affiliateid it should be cleaner like a "nofollow" link to http://www.yoursite.com/sales.php where the sales.php file then redirects to the right affiliate landing page shopping cart. there are more ways to do it, that's just one.
Thanks for the reply. In this case the "More Info" page is a page with the affiliate content about the product. From there they can choose to purchase the product then they will go the the affiliate shopping cart which I am fine with. But my concern if having the affiliate descriptions of these products on my site and Google saying you have duplicate content.
I mean If I put NoFollow links on the pages I can just market my homepage but I think that will limit me. Is this true? Will using affiliate content hurt me?
