Associate and Affiliate Programs are best described as revenue sharing companies. These programs work well for both the company and the associate. The company gets a product marketed by offering the associate a commission of some sort.
Commissions can be either pay per click or per sale.
Most of these programs even offer tools to market their product or service. Yes the number of new affiliate programs grow each day. At what rate I am not certain, but many companies see the benefit of this marketing approach. All rights reserved. May 03, 1999.
