The more visitors to your website, the better chance of generating sales from your affiliate links that will earn you a commission. If you are not sure what an affiliate program is, it is a program that is created by a company/website to allow you to generate income. You will usually signup via an online application and when approved, you are given special links to place on your website. When a visitor clicks on that link and makes a sale, you will earn a commission. There are also affiliate programs that will pay you per click or per lead. You will have to read the affiliate terms for each affiliate program to learn how you will be applied. Most affiliate programs will offer a cookie too!

Each affiliate program's cookie terms will vary. Normally, the cookies will be 30-90 days.
