I would post this on GFY but my account is still pending approval and has been for weeks now.
Im thinking of setting up a series of affiliate blogs and Im going to use free ones. I just wondered if using a free blog as oppose to creating my own from scratch and hosting it myself would affect sales, traffic, etc?

Having your own would help in some ways and hurt in others. Is Free Ones providing the blog hosting? (I didn't know they did this.)
Hosting a blog through a provider like Blogger (as an example) is helpful because your new posts will get picked up quicker by Google. It doesn't guarantee that you'll get indexed only that they will know about your new content.
Just be sure that whatever platform you decide to use pings all of the relevant blog search engines to notify them of new content.

You would have to ask them or it would be in their documentation. Blogging platforms like WordPress and Movable Type allow you to configure which ping sites to use. If you want to have a chance at being successful with a blog you need to ping. Waiting for search engines to find your new content could take weeks or months.
