The datafeed system is one of the easiest to seo. It is really simple to make this happen as most individual "product" is not that competetive as far as e-commerce is concerned. I may need to explain this a little further, so let me try.

Let's say your affiliate program sells birdhouses (I know, crazy example) Now, birdhouses as the title of tha page may be hard to get top rankings, but you would be suprised by the amount of people that will actualy search phrases within the description. Bluebird manor may be searched (yes, this actualy happens), and if you have just 10 links to it , you may have a top position if the anchor to it is bluebird manor.

I had made a post about instant article submitter once or twice, this is a great tool for datafeeds because you can actualy rotate up to 10 different bios on the distribution of one single article. So what you do is send out an article and double link it, and rotate the anchor text for the descriptions. One article and 20 different anchors to the 2 pages that you linked to in the article.

But making a general title for the page template, basic onpage, and vary the heck out of anchor text to that page with descriptive phrases from the descriptions.

In reality, you actualy have an advantage over the average affiliate because of the amount of content that is directly product related. The only competition you have is other affiliates using datafeeds.

You do need to have the feeds into your templates so that you can control basic onpage, and some navigation and this will usualy beat any duplicate content issues that may arise. I would not use one where they generate the entire page and you can not make onpage changes. There is another way to help beat the problem of duplicate content within the pages, and it is an include. You can write up 10 notices, notifications of sales or any other promotional ideas you may have and set the include to randomly display the information at the bottom or side nav of a page, an rss feed can also help you need less links (not the javascript stuff, you need php feeds) to beat out the competition.

But the main thing is links and onpage.

Hope this helps.
