Affiliate Marketing ~ My Top 5 List
Affiliate marketing is basically the sharing of revenue. As an affiliate you drive traffic to another site in hopes of producing them some revenue and thus collecting a commission for yourself from that revenue. It is a pretty straightforward concept and there are lots of affiliate networks out there to choose from.
