sounds like webfusion and I have the same problem.

ogletree, you are misunderstanding.

Our affiliates aren't duplicating our content.

It's just two different URL's pointing to the SAME PAGE. One URL belongs to us, and the other is just a special tracking URL to point to the same page. The affiliates use this tracking URL to point to a certain page of our site, and they get paid if someone buys a prouduct. In this case, the affiliate isn't creating any content at all, just pointing to our page.

I hope this makes sense now.

The bad news for me is that I can't do what Webfusion suggests above with the no-index robots meta-tag, as mine is a Yahoo Store, and Yahoo creates the links for me. I am just going to have to cancel all my affiliates, and create some kind of new program external of Yahoo Store. Unless someone else has any suggestions on how to make this work with a Yahoo Store. I guess maybe i could create some landing pages that were strictly for my affiliates. Well, off to think about it.
