About LinkShare Referral Program


 

 

What does it mean to become an affiliate?
If you have a Web site, you can become an affiliate. If you are interested in
earning revenue from the traffic that comes to your site, and enhancing your
site, you can join one or more affiliate programs.

An affiliate program is a partnership with an online merchant (that is, a Web
site that sells goods or services). When you join these programs, you can
put links on your site.

These links come in the form of banners, text links, and a number of other more
sophisticated types of links. The HTML code for these links is supplied to you
by online merchants through the LinkShare interface. You can put these links
anywhere you want on your site. LinkShare can help you figure out how to
place your links so that they are most effective.

How does it work?
A visitor comes to your site. If the visitor clicks on one of the links you have
put up, that visitor goes to the merchant's site. If that visitor buys something
on the merchant's site, you get a commission. In some cases, affiliates are
compensated even if the visitor doesn't buy anything, just for having driven traffic
to the merchant's site. In still other cases, affiliates can be compensated just
for putting the link up on their site. The affiliate's reward varies rom merchant to
fmerchant and program to program, depending on the terms of the merchant's
offer.
