Creating affiliate links that increase PR

[tucj7]

This may have been mentioned before, but I have read through about 15 topics with no luck.

I have a price comparison website in Europe, and would like to start a revenue sharing affiliate system where affiliates will share in the revenue from click-throughs.

My website only has PR3 and I would like to increase this as price comparison depends on organic links.

I would like to provide the "feeds" of products for affiliates in JavaScript or something like that.

What is the best way to attach a link that will count as a backlink to my site and increase PR. Something like: "Comparisons provided by somecomparisonsite.com". Something that can be encapsulated nicely and distributed easily. Does the NOSCRIPT tag work for PR gain?

Thanks

"What is the best way to attach a link that will count as a backlink to my site and increase PR."

As far as I know affiliate links don't help with PR. But I could care less about PR and don't think you should spend time trying to up it.

What about writing something on the subject of your site and submitting it to articles sites, or offering to write something for other sites? Someone did this with me last week. I was surprised but they gave me something that I could put on one of my sites, as far as I can tell its original content.

First off, let's get the business model straight here.

I have a price comparison website in Europe, and would like to start a revenue sharing affiliate system where affiliates will share in the revenue from click-throughs.

So if it's a price comparison site, then you don't actually carry product yourself, but operate as an advertising provider and/or affiliate yourself, and get paid for sending traffic to the sites being compared, either by clicks or per action, such as a sale.

Is that right? And which is it, cpm adverts being sold to advertisers by number of impressions, or commissions as an affiliate?

And now, what you're looking for is for affiliates to send you their traffic in exchange for a piece of the action on what you'll get paid as an advertiser/affiliate for sending the traffic to merchants that *your* affiliates have sent you.

Is that correct?

Added, another question:

Have you considered what kind of tracking you would be putting in place?
