Affiliate marketing is a very popular business on the internet that involves a partnership between a merchant

and one or more affiliates.  The affiliate will advertise or promote the merchant's products and 

services free until a customer makes a purchase.

Once a purchase has been made, a portion of the profit received by the merchant from the customer will be

given to the affiliate.  For this very reason, the relationship between the affiliate and the merchant

is also known as revenue sharing partnership.

Affiliate marketing has also been recognized as the best way for merchants to sell more products on

the internet as well as web-masters or affiliates to gain income with their own website.  This is

where the affiliate can make really good money.
