A fairly recent development with the Internet has been the use of other domains to promote and sell your products. This involves placing a link to your web site on another domain. Many of the large Internet companies are now partnering with other domains to bring additional traffic to their web site. These are called affiliate programs.

These affiliate programs function through the use of special scripting that identifies the web site from which the visitor came. If the visitor then chooses to purchase something a commission is paid to the site that delivered the visitor.

Affiliate programs are not terribly complicated and require very little effort on the part of the delivering domain owner. The rate of commission can very dramatically depending largely on the popularity of the domain paying the commission.

It's interesting to note that there are many web sites developed exclusively for the purpose of re-directing traffic to other sites as an affiliate. It is not unusual for these web sites to create a serious revenue source in the tens of thousands of dollars a month. Not to shabby for doing nothing except keeping your links up to date.
