Affiliates are about COMMISSION

It’s a program that allows websites to sell a product on a commission basis. So basically if you are an affiliate of a web design company, what happens if that for every online customer they get through a link from your website to theirs, you will receive a commission. How much commission you receive depends on the company but it’s usually 20%

Other examples might be a tutorial site – you can sell books for Amazon by becoming an affiliate for them or for a hosting website you can sell templates on other company’s behalf.

The most comprehensive and most promising affiliate network is Commission Junction or Clix Bank. You can join it for free and you can join any of their thousands of associate programs.
