SEO quesiton
 

Will this help me in anyway or will it hurt me?

say i have
www.url.com/key_word_rich_folder/ linked on my main page but that key word rich folder just redirects to my affilate ID?

you will get banned.

everytime i redirect something to my affiliate ID's... my actual affiliate linking code gets indexed instead of the page im using as a redirect.

so dunno if that would help or not

it all depends on the type of redirect

The gain from this is very minimal (if any). The redirect will likely hurt you more than any gain you could get from the folder naming you plan on using.

if its a frame redirect with a keyword noframe page, couldnt it help a whole lot more then it would hurt?

Thanks WG and everyone else.

Between using a frame and a regular landing page, I'd rather use the latter. Frames are one of those things which engines don't really like and I'd rather avoid using them wherever possible, even if you are using noframes to try and populate it with keywords.

don't think a redirect will help much. Make the folder, make the page, make it keyword rich content. And let people land on it and click through. A big plus is they will cache your own domain and not the sponsor. Better chance of being higher in the serps and if the sponsor goes out of business you simply replace their links.

thanks dude!

thank you
now the harder part

doing keyword research

I know better than going after the huge kywords heh

you are on your own for that one . . . unless you want to pay :)

overture keyword suggestion tool will help me im sure hehe
