An affiliate program is a way that companies can gain help with sales from an online source. The company will provide the individual with all the help they need. This help can include things like tracking links and banners that can be posted on their websites, and then before they know it each party is making money. When a sale is made as a result of a click through, then the commission payment will be made to the individual hosting the site.
