    I had question regarding affiliate sites that sell for my site.

    Can it be consisdered Balck Hat SEO if the setup is as follows:

    Product A from Affiliate Site links to > Product A on my site
    Product B from Affiliate Site links to > Product B on my site
    Product C from Affiliate Site links to > Product C on my site.

    Thats the pattern it follows, each link is a difernt page to a differnt page. I don't think thats considered a sitewide link. But I'm not sure what Google thinks, I know they dont like affiliate sites but thats not my concern, thats the affiliate sites owners concern. but can it affect my site in any way?

    Let me know your thoughts on this guys.... Thanks in advance.

    Thats how its supposed to work. Nothing black hat or even grey hat about that.

    Thanks Mad4, I just wanted to make sure because its alot of links coming from 1 site. Wasn't sure if Google can tell the difference between Affiliate links and site wide links.

    Yep thats the way it works. You should be OK. Some of our clients have 10,000 affiliates all linking to their site. Have never seen a merchant site penalized.
