    If you're advertising your own affiliate landing page with paid traffic (like Adwords, for instance), is there any way the affiliate network or merchant could see the source of the traffic (i.e., that it came from Google etc.). I am concerned b/c often affiliate link involves some kind of javascript and tracking bug in addition to the basic affiliate link.

    Yes, you can make a redirect link, like a cloak

    I can't see how they would be able to see it unless you are promoting your affiliate link directly in adwords. Although saying this, there may be a way for them to see it, but I have not come accrossed it as if anyone went to their site, your site would be the referring site.
