Affiliate Marketing is a method of referring web visitors to related companies, who will pay the website owner, if sales are generated as a result of the web visitors clicking on a link.

Many large retailers, such as Amazon operate their own Affiliate Scheme, however other retailers will utilise the services of third party affiliate companies such as Trade Doubler or Affiliate Window.

A web site with good traffic can generate a good level of revenue, by linking to products targetted at their vistors.
