How Affiliate Programs
Work by
Tom Harris
Simply put, affiliate programs, also called
associate programs, are arrangements in which an online merchant Web
site pays affiliate Web sites a commission to send them traffic. These
affiliate Web sites post links to the merchant site and are paid according
to a particular agreement. This agreement is usually based on the number of
people the affiliate sends to the merchant's site, or the number of people
they send who buy something or perform some other action. Some arrangements
pay according to the number of people who visit the page containing their
merchant site's banner advertisement. Basically, if a link on an affiliate
site brings the merchant site traffic or money, the merchant site pays the
affiliate site according to their agreement. Recruiting affiliates is an
excellent way to sell products online, but it can also be a cheap and
effective marketing strategy; it's a good way to get the word out about your
site... (Read full story in

What is a Merchant Account?
A Merchant Account is an account a merchant, like yourself,
has with a bank in order to accept credit card orders from customers. Funds
are collected by a bank from credit card purchasers and disbursed to the
merchant. Once the merchant has a merchant account set up, the merchant can
accept credit card information from customers. A merchant account for online
use is typically referred to as a
MOTO
Discount Rate (Mail Order / Telephone Order) account. It is different in
terms and regulations from a standard merchant account due to the risk
involved since the merchant is not physically seeing either the customer or
the credit card, which increases the chances of fraud or charge backs...

What Is
Pay Per Click?
Pay per click advertising on search engines allows you choose
keywords you would like your site to appear for when a search is performed.
You decide how much you are willing to pay each time a person clicks on the
search results. The more you are willing to pay per click, the higher your
site will appear in the results for the keywords you choose. There are
hundreds of pay per click search engines. Generally, the larger the pay per
click search engine, the more you will have to bid to get to the top for
your keywords. This is why it is worth investigating different search
engines to find what it would cost to bid on your keywords and how much
traffic they draw. The largest companies in the pay per click industry are
Overture and Google. Google is
not a pay per click search engine, but it does provide pay per click
advertising in text ad boxes to the right of search results it delivers. It
also delivers pay per click ads to other content sites... (Read full story

What Is Google AdSense?
Google AdSense is an advertising program that was launched in the middle of
2003 by Google, the popular search
engine. Google acts as an intermediary between a vast number of advertisers
and an equally impressive number of website owners. Advertisers sign up with
Google and create text ads that they would like to be displayed. Google
displays these ads on the results pages of searches that people conduct from
Google.com. The Google AdSense program allows these advertisements to show
up on pages all over the internet. To see some of the ads themselves, take a
look at the sidebar on this page. The webmaster simply places a special code
in their page and Google AdSense takes care of the rest. Perhaps the most
valuable aspect of the system is that robots (specialized computer programs
that scan internet pages) analyzes pages that ads will be placed on to
determine which ads are most relevant to the page's content... (Read full
