What it means to be an affiliate

What does it mean to be an afilliate? It simply mens that you represent a company[merchant] that is willing to pay you for the traffic you refer whether by e-mail or by a website.

You choose to promote their product or service, thereby bringing in traffic that will decide to join, buy or move on. For every person who takes up your offer, you will be paid a commission. Your unique identifier is on the end of the basic URL ...

Example: http://www.THEIRDOMAIN.com/index.php?id=XXXXXX

... the X's represent your UID which can be a number or a name.

The importance of this unique identifier that appears after the question mark, identifies you. The visitors are usually tracked by some information added to the merchant's qebsite address, or URL

Normally, the unique identifier may drop a cookie on the user's browser to remember you, or it will be carried along for the current browswer session to track any sales that occur back to you.
