Affiliate marketing is a branch of Internet marketing which is itself the online version of direct marketing.

An affiliate marketer sells other people's products for a percentage of the sale. He is also a master in website promotion techniques, and he knows how to increase website traffic, because it is the number one way for him to increase his revenue.

3.The merchant create an affiliate program.

4.Affiliates get links and advertising resources from affiliate program.
