What is a Affiliate program?

[ChadsMach1]

Can anyone explain to me the idea behind Affiliate programs? I'm just trying to understand what they are and how they can help you make money from your website.

Thanks!

places like commissionjunction.com offer affiliate programs, you put links on your site provided by the program, then you get paid for a sale and not clicks, usually 5 to 10% of the sale.

An Affiliate program is an arrangement in which a company pays you a percentage of the sale for every online customer they get though a link from your website to theirs.
