How to add an affiliate store

[GrumpyCarl]

Hi all

Just wondering what other Mozewrs' would do about this..... I want to add a revenue stream to a blog of mine and I have decided that an affiliate store is the way to go. I can create a store with merchant datafeeds and pull in products related to my site, and all being well make some pennies from it.

Obviously all the datafeeds are published on many other sites and so it will be very duplicate content. Would blocking Googlebot from the store be enough to ensure that the site doesn't receive a penalty for duplicate content? I would be keen on getting the product category pages indexed but not too worried about the actual products themselves.

I would like to make some revenue from the site but not at the risk of killing the blog.

Thanks

I would create landing pages for product categories and use rel=canonical on the actual product pages.
