Affiliate
programs, sometimes termed referral, associate, or partnership
programs, offer
a great way for you to easily put your web site's traffic
to use, and begin generating income.
In
return for you sending traffic to a merchant's web site,
you can earn commissions based on the sales you generate.
Most affiliate programs offer an easy, and completely
free way to sign up, providing you with a partner ID
with which their system recognizes your referrals.
