Good Place To Start

A good place to start when thinking about becoming an affiliate is to get a web page or a landing page as it's known. A landing page is a place for you to presell your affiliates products.

Many affiliates will give you links, banners or buttons to put on your web site and only a choice few will actually give you a page with a link like this www.affiliate.com/reff349. Even when they do some people get a webpage with a domain name or a referral address to make the site sound better.

But for those that don't give you a page you should get one yourself. That way you can use adwords, adsense and/or overture to advertise it and get traffic.
