In simple terms, affiliate marketing is the promotion of products and/or services to earn commissions through an affiliate program.

An affiliate program is a program that facilitates the relationship between online merchants and their affiliates — allowing the affiliate to promote that company’s products or services for a commission.

Affiliate programs may also be referred to as:

• Associate Programs
• Referral Programs
• Bounty Programs
• Partner Programs
• Revenue Sharing Programs

The merchant provides the affiliate with a link to their site or a specific product that credits the affiliate with the sale or lead when one is successfully concluded.
