What are affiliates?
There are lots of companies out there that offer you the chance as a web publisher to display their advert and affiliate offers on your page, you usually earn money in the form of commission for each banner link click or each affiliate offer sign up.
The first type of advertisement is contextual, this is link banners and image banners that are displayed on your pages and you are paid each time someone clicks an advert.
Affiliate schemes require you to display a link or banner to someone elses product or service and you are paid a commission for every sale or sign up.







Cool! Thanks for the info.
So you only earn if site visitors click the link or ad?
That’s paid per click programs. Affiliate marketers display ads and drive traffic for free in exchange for a commission on any purchases.
