ByronM, can you please explain to me why there is risk of loosing serp position by providing datafeed ?

Multiple Reasons:

* Duplicate Content Penalty
* Some Affiliates can out SEO anyone/everyone
* Some Affiliates already have higher PR - see first mark - they would get the benefit over your site if you're new to the market
* Good affiliates break out into super "niche" sites that may be cooker cutter but quality enough that they get higher serps than you because they're more focused.

So on and so forth.

I provide different descriptions and product ids on my affiliate feed i'm building for this very reason - i can google it and see how it stands against our own serps.
