What Is An Affiliate Program? And How To Use Them
By Paul Rice Affiliate programs have been around for years but many people still think these are solely involved with sales. This is only partly true. They are also a great tool to start a business with. The idea of affiliates is to get people to click on an affiliate link, such as a link to a company, product, or service, and this is done by the affiliate site by directing the visitor to the advertiser's pages. If the person who clicks goes on that advertiser's site and purchases what the advertiser offers, then through your link on that page, you will get paid a commission from the advertiser. If it was a product, then the advertiser would provide the product such as a CD or DVD. If it was a service, such as an SEO or web design, then a page would provide the services. Either way, your role is to get people to go to the advertiser's site by means of the affiliate link on your site. The most popular affiliate programs are pay per lead or pay per sale such as Google AdSen
