Affiliate Marketing is referred to a business relationship wherein merchants allow their affiliates to promote their products by linking to their websites.

When a visitor clicks on the link at your site and subsequently makes a purchase from the merchant, you receive a commission based on the amount of the sale, a referral fee or a pay-for-click fee.

This involves a simple and a straight-forward agreement between the merchant and an affiliate. There are instances when budding affiliate marketers run into a problem due to faulty selection of merchants.
