Online affiliate marketing
An online affiliate program is a contractual agreement you make with a merchant to acquire targeted traffic, generate a sales lead, or sell a product. This product may be physical (such as books), virtual (such as electronic books or downloadable software), or information (such as expert advice).
Online affiliate marketing began as a natural outgrowth of the popularity of "linking" to other sites. Webmasters would incorporate electronic links into their site, which would take the reader directly to a point of interest. Merchants then saw the potential to reach more customers and began to offer incentives, usually money, in order to encourage webmasters to link to the merchant’s site. Online affiliate programs began in the mid-1990’s and are currently a popular way to earn money online. In fact, research shows that affiliate marketing is the most cost-effective way to generate online sales. Please see the following sites for general information and education about affiliates:
