What is Affiliate Marketing?
"Affiliate
marketing is a business relationship with a merchant or other service provider
who allows you to link to that business. When a visitor clicks on the link at
the affiliate's website site and subsequently purchases product/service from the merchant, the affiliate receive a
commission based on the amount of the sale, a referral fee or a pay-for-click
fee"
What are Affiliates? The affiliate is like a salesperson
who drives traffic to a merchant's
site.
Who are the merchants? The merchant is someone who is
selling a product, which may be DVDs or e-books or selling
services.
Merchant pays commission to the affiliate when the visitor
visiting through the affiliate's link completes the desired action (buys the
product/service or signs up for something).

with a unique link which helps the merchant track the sale and give commission.
This link is different for each affiliate marketer, but points towards the
merchant's website (referred to as landing page).
