The complete guide to affiliate marketing on the Web : how to use and profit from affiliate marketing programs
Affiliate marketing is a highly profitable online advertising method in which Web site merchants pay independent third parties to promote the products or services of an advertiser on their Web site. In other words, affiliate marketing involves posting a company's banner on your Web site or blog and attempting to send visitors to their Web site. If someone clicks on that banner or goes to that site and buys something, you will be paid a commission. Affiliate marketing is now viewed as a key component of a company's online marketing strategy. In this new book you will learn how to master the art and science behind affiliate marketing. The keys to success in affiliate marketing are knowing what you are doing, devising a comprehensive and well-crafted advertising plan, and knowing the relationships between your Web site, search engines, PPC advertising, and campaign methodology. This exhaustively researched new book will provide everything you need to know to get you started.--From publisher description
