Framing an affiliate link?

    I am working with an affiliate program and I want to basically send people straight to a form where they can input information. Its located on the advertisers site and basically I want people to goto my www.domain.com and be at the form. I want to be able to pass along the affiliate code and make it look like they are still on my website when in fact they are on the advertisers. I have been told I can frame the page...but I am not sure how to do so and still be able to get credit.

    "I have been told I can frame the page"

    Are you saying someone told you thats a way to do it, or are you saying the merchant told you it's OK? Be sure it's OK with merchant and not against the TOS.

    Framing more than one merchant on a page would be considered cookie-stuffing and is viewed as unethical. One click on your page should = one merchant cookie. If it is just one, check the TOS as Linda said.

    I may be wrong, but I don't think that was the question - just using a frame for a single affiliate link to display as a page vs. using IFRAMEs to invisibly place multiple cookies.
