What is an affiliates program?
Many larger web portals and search engines these days have affiliates programs. The most popular of these is probably Googles AdSense program, which displays ads supplied by Google on private websites, then pays those website owners for the privelege.The eBay Affiliates program works in a similar fashion. You coordinate with eBay to show item listings or eBay links on your website that are relevant to its content, and eBay pays you a commission on new memberships and on sales that occurred when users clicked through from your website.
