"Affiliate Marketing Definition"
Written By Jeff Schuman

Affiliate marketing definition: The use of a Web site that sells 
products of other Web sites, called affiliates, to help market 
the products. Amazon.com, the book seller, created the first 
large-scale affiliate program and hundreds of other companies
have followed since.

Another definition of affiliate marketing is a widespread 
method of promoting a website, in which an affiliate is rewarded 
for every visitor, subscriber and/or customer provided through his 
efforts. It is a modern variation of the practice of paying 
finder's-fees to individuals who introduce new clients to a business.
Compensation may be made based on a certain value for each visit
(Pay-per-click), registrant (Pay-per-lead), or a commission for
each customer or sale (Pay-per-Sale). 

There are thousands of people making millions of dollars in
commissions every month selling other peoples products. Here are
a few of the benefits of affiliate marketing:
