As I posted some days ago I started using some affiliate links on one my e-commerce sites to transition out of this site. I want to see if I can earn a little revenue w/o losing my high SERPS.

I was advised (I think) to use rel="nofollow" attribute in the affiliate links, but for some reason they are displaying the site without the w/o the affiliate I.D.

If I put a direct link like http://www.thesite.com/affiliateI.D. - these will work properly but are hideous looking. I phoned the company and they're supposed to get back with me and never did.

Anyone see anything obviously wrong with this HTML afffiliate link?
