Hi, ive recently been approached by a client who has a large, affiliate-based financial site which uses include files for each component of the site...header, footer, left and top navigation.

I've been doing seo for a while but i've never optimized a site set up like this. The site is broken down into financial categories and they want each section optmized for differnt keywords..(mortgage, credit, etc.).

I know i must set up directory pages for each section and add tons of pages with relevent content, but i was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on a site like this. I understand that affiliate sites and frowned upon throughout the seo community...does this site even have a chance?

Any specifics i should know about optimizing aspx pages with tons of include files???

alot the pages of the site are set up just as exteral links to an affiliates site, i know i need to change this....any working around this or other methods i may consider?? help!

Thank u so much
