Thanks Dave,

I should have mentioned that I get good traffic because of great placements in the engines and I'm worried about losing that only.

My products are maybe 1% return customers if even that high. The product is a one time purchase item. They last up to 30 years if maintained properly, so it's rare that I get a repeat buyer. That makes me not worried about the customer base.

The site I'll be sending them to, is truly the Mecca of a much larger niche, which my site only sells one product line of - a related accessory. This place has their website and an enormous brick & mortar store next to Grand Central Station in NYC and every floor is devoted to different related items in the "grander niche."

Their products are for amateur to professional users and the prices of related equipment is staggering. My customers know all about them when they come calling about information and price shopping. What if one clicks through and buys my product or checks out a competetive product and some other essential gear - runs into $1000's for a single sale?

Many of my customers don't give a dang about $$ as they work for MGM or Discovery Channel and every kind of Museum and Institute you could imagine and they want their stuff - yesterday! I could possibly make some huge commissions - if my site doesn't get affected in the SERPS because of some outbound affiliate links. That's what I'm concerned with, and only that.

Thanks again - I hope you'll post back on those outbound links and their affect on SEO.
