Does a redirect harm SEO?

Hi all,

Wondering what's the best way to do this...

I've joined an affiliate program that comes with it's own branded store, which is what I wanted but their site & domain isn't optimised for the keywords I want to target.

I want to register a new domain, build a new site based around my keyword, do a `my domain to their domain' redirect & was wondering what is the best SEO friendly way of doing this?

If I set up a site, say .. www.mykeyword.com .. optimised that page for the keyword & built backlinks to it.

Then my domain & optimised description would show up in the search results but when clicked it took them straight to the affiliate branded store...is this possible & more importantly is this ok in Google's eyes?

I'm curious on how I can target a keyword with a site that no visitor will see & redirect the traffic straight to their store without harming my invisible site's keyword optimization?

How all that made sense!?!

Thanks for any help.

Fuzzy.

 Google wont rank the redirect page. instead, you need to actually write some articles and build a site with links to those pages.

 Using an anylizer with the links on page doesn't cause any problems or errors so where is it harmful and is there a way around it to use those advertisements without negative effects?

 I am no pro, but I have a couple of redirects listed in google,
I think that seo is a lot harder that it is with having your own unique affiliate site, but I do believe it is possible.

one site is page 5 in google for a couple of keywords, and is on page on with yahoo and bing for a keyword...
