What are Affiliate Programs?
Affiliate programs allow you, me and others to sign up to promote good
and services of the vendors and receieve commissions on sales. They are
one of the most straightforward ways of making money online.
How does it work?
Affiliate programs online detect the refering website when a visitor
reaches their online store. If a purchase occurs, the referring website
account is credited. The tracking is usually done via special url that
contains the affiliate's account id. After the visitor arrives to the
vendor site, usually a cookie is set to associate this visitor with the
particular affiliate, so that a future sale can be credited to the
correct affiliate, even if no sale takes place immediately. The tracking
cookie usually expiresin a month, or it can expire in a day, depending
on the affiliate program. For example, nowadays Amazon's Affiliate
program cookies expire in a day.
How to get started?
Most Affiliate programs provide relevant banners, product links for the
affiliates to display. Some sophisticated programs may make product data
available. These may be huge in volume and usually requires expert
programing skills and provides utmost flexibility and content management
opportunities for the affiliates. A beginner can get started by
displaying ready to embed product links and get familiar with the
products and services being offered and perhaps develop more involved
strategies and software to integrate with the affiliate program into
his/own own website.
Where to find good Affiliate Programs?
There are many products and many affiliate programs on the web. It is
often a challenge to find a good program with growth potential, to learn
ins and outs of it, read testimonials, decide on a target market and
integrate your website with the program. Smaller affiliate programs may
go out of business or may change substantially to require you to make
changes too often or require you to simply walk away from your time and
money investment in frustration. In some rare cases, it may be a hassle
to get your hard earned commission payed to you.
To be able to steer clear the vast and dark ocean of the web, you need
to look for guidence and rely on others' experiences. One good resource
to keep an eye on is
