A couple of questions on affiliate links

[westman7]

OK. So first do links like http://www.example.com/?3838383 bring any juice to the http://www.example.com/ page or the SE's interpret http://www.example.com/?3838383 as a different page?

In that case if I do a 301 redirect from http://www.example.com/?3838383 to http://www.example.com/ - would that bring in any juice?

I'm asking because I'll be launching an affiliate program and it'd be cool if the affiliate links bring in some PR to my site.

Thanks!

I would not recommend doing 301 redirects to your home page. You should leave them as stand-alone pages, each having unique content, page title and meta description. If you do a site search on Google for bestbuy (site:bestbuy.com) you see they have over 700k pages indexed, each being a unique product offering.
