My understanding of this new marketing concept is that you will search for
websites selling products which would complement your stuff. If you sell
shoes, then look for shoe-polish sites and work out a deal whereby their
name will be an easy click from your site, and vice versa.

I have heard that a well traveled site (thousands of hits per day) could add
significant revenues to the bottom line by referring to, say, Amazon. Amazon
will automatically pay you a percentage of anything they sell to a buyer
that came from your site. When your visitor clicks the Amazon link, it
automatically sends a signal to Amazon to look for this customer and to
credit your account when a payment is made.

Finding affiliates becomes easier and easier when you have more and more
links in your site and you manage to get at the top of the search engines
when a keyword brings you up.

I'm eager to learn more about this also. Hope you have struck a cord in this
newsgroup.
