"Hey...
Affiliate Programs is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts. Examples include rewards sites, where users are rewarded with cash or gifts, for the completion of an offer, and the referral of others to the site. The industry has four core players: the merchant (also known as 'retailer' or 'brand'), the network, the publisher (also known as 'the affiliate') and the customer. The market has grown in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third parties vendors"

An affiliate program is typically an agreement to sell or represent the product or services of one company, by another. The affiliate has the right to re-sell the products or services of the primary firm, usually for a percentage of the sale or profit.

An affiliate program is a form of advertising, on the web, that rewards the affiliates (self-selected advertisers) for driving traffic to the advertiser (CTR) or for subsequent transactions (CPA). An affiliate program uses a multi-level marketing concept where consumers (affiliates) attract additional consumers. Some affiliate programs are multi-tiered, thus increasing the income earning opportunities for the affiliates (rewarded for their traffic and the traffic of affiliates they recruit). Marketers have the option of developing their own in-house affiliate program (Amazon.com and bn.com are examples) or joining one or more of the large affiliate networks (Beefree, Linkshare or CommissionJunction). Affiliates have the potential to earn significant money, if done correctly. This book store is the author's example of an Amazon affiliate. Marketing vehicles may sign up for an affiliate program to use its excess advertising inventory (unsold banners).

There are tons of companies and webmasters using affiliate programs to boost their online sales and most of these affiliate programs are free to join. When you sign up for an affiliate program, an affiliate link with a unique affiliate ID will be assigned to you. The affiliate link is used for marketing the products of your merchant. When a visitor buys an item through your affiliate link, you earn affiliate commission.
