Using Affiliate Programs to Help Market Your Products or Services
Affiliate programs can be an effective way to gain exposure for your products if you sell online. Through an affiliate program you allow other web site owners to place text and display ads on their site to promote your product or service. Those web site owners then receive a commission each time you complete a sale to a user that was referred from their site. Affiliate companies functon as middle men to faciliate the transaction and tracking of these sales and commisions.
