    I never thought of this until today. If you have a site on different sub-sections that changes each year and unabel to maintain or update it what woudl you do?
    I was considering selling it but now I think I can just redirect it to an affiliate url, right?

    The real question is if I do that; it'll be index.
     goes to blahaffiliate.com
    
    Can I redirect  com/hats[.html]  to blahaffiliate.com/hats/
    
    Can I redirect  com/shoes.[html]  to blahaffiliate.com/shoes/
    
    and so on. 
    
    So, once I send index.html redirecting to main affiliate page is it still possible to do that to the interior pages too or not?
    
    i know of iframe but aff links will not be changed or logos.

    Some offers allow deeplinking, but the vast majority of them do not. There are ways to sort of rig it to work anyway, with a little iframing/cookie-stuffing magic, but it's not always reliable.

    However, in theory, yeah your idea can be done. Commission Junction carries a lot of offers with specific links that go to different subcategories of the merchants' sites. That would probably be the easiest way to go about finding the appropriate deep links.
