Affiliate software and links?

dandy78 · 01-03-2012, 03:20 AM

Hello,

I have been thinking about setting up an affiliate program for a client. So instead of going through for instance tradedoubler pay the affiliates directly without someone else taking a cut.

Whilst looking into that I have seen that some software offers "SEO friendly" links, i.e., they use the referal site to find out where the sale comes from. This seem like a huge advantage (as this is a client with quite a few affiliates at the moment) but what does big google think of this? Anyone have a idea or experience with this.

I can't or won't do anything that can get the client penalized, just not worth it, but what is the worst that can happen? Or is this an ok way of doing things?

IMO idevaffiliate seems to be one of the better affiliate softwares, the only other decent one I can think of is jrox? Hope this helps

idevaffiliate was the one I was looking at too. But the question is whatever it is OK to use their "SEO friendly" links, or if there is a danger for Google penalizing you for using these?

In my experience, Big G isn't penalizing for affiliate links unless you have too many affiliate links on a single page.
