If you use an affiliate program with SE friendly links, such as
www.domain.com/affiliates/id/123 where 123 is the affiliate number, does
www.domain.com gets a good ranking because of affiliates displaying the above mentioned kind of links on their sites?

Chances are, the first link will have a link to the root page in which case the answer is yes.

I would think so

I also forgot to ask, I guess it is so, but better ask:
to get a good ranking for certain keywords, those affiliate links, such as
www.domain.com/affiliates/id/123
have to have the anchor text the respective keywords? For example "Electronics" to get a better SE ranking for the keyword electronics?

If you have links on your page like:

h ttp://fatpussy.com/index.php?ccbill=1307951

versus:

h ttp://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=932167-0000&PA=1307951

and someone searches fat pussy @ Google, the first is better

PR might be helped also because I have been told the spiders ignore everything to the right of the ? mark

(your example has no ? mark though) most do

I'm far from an expert though,

I also know the ? version of affiliate link usually doesn't count as inbound (back)link at all, that's why I'm asking about this type of URL ...

I think it only helps if there's a linking connection between the affiliate url and the main url, probably in both directions, like most newspages do with their archives...

I don't really agree. I got to test this our with the biggest paysite on the internet. Only link codes that go www.mypornsite.com really help with your SE ranking, but are of no use to an affiliate.
