I seriously don't want to comment on various things that are currently happing during this update /pre-update /never-ending update etc. but if a search engine cannot detect a page which it has index – some thing is seriously wrong.

Last time I had noticed a bug with “related:” link to which GG replied that he would show it to the right engineers [webmasterworld.com...]

Though I don’t see that bug anymore this time around, here is an another one – I type in MyUrl.com, check cache using Google toolbar, what I get is my affiliate redirected sub-domain URL :(

E.g. keyword.affiliateURL.com

<Frustration> I use cache: command and get the same result </Frustration>

I know there would be hundreds who will have opinions that I am wrong and the affiliate site is wrong, but only considers these points:

1) A merchant has no control how an affiliate links to the site. (E.g. the above mention uses affiliate links using a sub domain and a refresh tag.)
2) If this would have caused a problem then I would have suffered in all SE’s – av aj ::f etc.

How does this affect my ranking?

1) Keyword.affiliateURL.com is displayed against keywords for which my homepage is optimized and where my homepage was displayed earlier.
2) Business suffers, as now I have to pay 20% as affiliate commission for all the converted SE traffic - which I use to get for free earlier
3) ODP description is not displayed for keyword.affiliateURL.com as not obviously not listed in ODP

Please help!
