Affiliate Marketing is a popular method of promoting web businesses in which an affiliate is rewarded for every visitor, subscriber and/or customer provided through his efforts. It is a modern variation of the practice of paying finder's-fees for the introduction of new clients to a business. Compensation may be made based on a certain value for each visit (Pay per click), registrant (Pay per lead), or a commission for each customer or sale (Pay per sale), or any combination.



In its purest sense, online affiliate marketing is the process whereby your company places a subscription button, banner or other online ad on another Web site, most often without a fee. When the user clicks through the banner, reaches your site and subscribes to your service or buys your product, the site that directed the user to your site receives a commission. These usually range from 10 to 20 percent of the total sale. In some cases, more often at highly trafficked sites, an affiliate site will receive a flat fee.

In markets where there is high degree of Web user ship, online affiliate marketing programs can evolve into fertile sources for continuous revenues. Creative alliances with advertisers, associations and even other partner sites, if your website serves a vigorous niche market, can lay the foundation for an ongoing revenue stream.
