Affiliate marketing for the rest of us |
|
 "How good is your word of mouse?" Failing to find a worthy product or service of their own to sell, people have flocked to the affiliate marketing giants ClickBank and Commission Junction to hitch a ride on someone else's success. They go for the listing with the most activity and new advertisers who want to release something worthwhile are left out in the cold. The concept is sound - share the profits with those who help you make the sale, but the practice is skewed by the paramount presence of the health, wealth and lifestyle peddlers blasting on us dubious new age cures, get-rich-quick schemes and dating sites... Not being discouraged by that, Affiliators is a simple referral system engine to keep track of who was instrumental in making a sale.

It is a way to help others in internet publishing reach their goals and getting a return on your efforts.
