I thought about copying the main page, but this would seem to create an awful lot of duplicate content which would seem to create yet another thing the engines do not care for much.

It would be easy enough to redo the linking structure and place the script into a different directory other than the cgi-bin, use mod-rewrite to get rid of the "?" and even go so far as to rename the .cgi file to .html and set the server to treat it as a .cgi file, but that still leaves the 302 redirect.

Do engines have any kind of a problem with this type of a redirect? I have always been under the impression that they simply follow the redirect to the destination page, but at the same time, if someone is linking to a page that shows the engines it has moved, would they ignore the link?

I would really like to get a good idea of what I should do to get this working correctly, before I redo my affiliate program which will be in the next few weeks.

Thanks again to everyone for any help you can offer.
