A Question About Duplicate content & Robot Meta Tags.

So I created this amazon affiliate ecommerce sites. Basically all the products data are copied from the amazon.

My homepage is original content, but all my products pages are duplicate content, by that, I mean an exact copy from the amazon's sites.

My ideal solution would be to get all my pages indexed in google even if they don't rank high. But I do want to rank for my homepage, which is original content.

So is it possible for my product pages to get indexed in the google but still not let them effect the ranking of my home page, by adding this <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX, NOFOLLOW"> meta tags on my product pages or the duplicate content will still effect the ranking of my home page even if I set the robot meta tags of duplicate pages to nofollow, because they belong to the same domain as the homepage.

or is it better to just go with <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">.that way they don't effect the my homepage at all.

Just learned about all this robot meta tags today, so little confuse.

    You absolutely should NOT be adding a nofollow tag to internal links.

    Google does not care about this kind of duplicate content. What they care about is when the same content appears over and over again on the same site. What you have is a case of syndicated content, not duplicate content.
