  301 Redirects

Just a quick question I wondered if someone could answer.

I have a page that has links to various merchants via various networks, however instead of linking directly to the merchant, i.e;
a href="http://tracker.tradedoubler...blah blah blah

I have created a link to a none existent directory such as;
mydomain.com/merchant-name/

I have also created a .htaccess file, that has a load of 301 redirects in place so that mydomain.com/merchant-name/ redirects to http://tracker.tradedoubler...blah blah blah

I just wondered, firstly if there is anything wrong with doing this, and secondly whether it will affect any tracking, spidering etc?
