    Hi Guys,

    This is probably a completely obvious question but I would really appreciate input. Would Google and the others treat the following urls as different for the purposes of passing page rank

    http://www.domain.com/

    http://www.domain.com/?a_aid=123&a_bid=456

    I want to give my home page some pagerank juice from affiliate links and wondered how the SE's treat it?

    They are considered to seperate URLs if they web page is rendered with both URL structures, if the 2nd one redirects to the main directory than it's considered properly redirected and Pagerank\SEO weight will be transfered accordingly.

    Thanks ssandecki so if I create some kind of jump page for the affiliate links and then 301 redirect it to the home page that would do the trick?
