Affiliate

Affiliate is a subsidiary or subordinate organization that is affiliated with another organization.

How does it work?

The basic idea behind an affiliate program is that you promote someone else's product, link to their site using special affiliate program code, and get a commission for each sale made by a visitor you refer to these affiliate programs.

Affiliate program marketing really started picking up around 1997. Now it becomes one of the major ways to promote products over the Internet and make some changes. Almost every large Website now runs some sort of affiliate program as part of their promotional strategy.
