Affiliate programs are generally offered by sites selling
goods or services. Many affiliate programs pay a commission
based on a percentage of the revenue generated by purchases made
by visitors coming from your website or pay per lead. in other
words, you bring them a prospective customer and they pay a
fixed "finder's fee" for the chance to market to that customer.There are other payment models as well, for example a small
payment for every visitor sent to a site or a payment for every
time an advertising unit is displayed. Such affiliate
programs pay regardless of whether a visitor ultimately becomes
a customer.
