    Are you reading from a user agreement / terms page? If so, then I would indeed classify them all as "affiliate marketing or programmes." But sometimes it is worth asking.

    "Affiliate programs allow Web sites who provide links to your site to receive payments or reciprocal advertising in exchange for promoting your Web site. "

    With the AdSense program you're making money from providing links to Google's advertising system, using their advanced tools :)

    Adsense or YPN are adnetwork which provides advertisment for your sites. Whereas in affiliate programs you have to generate leads or sales for the merchant to earn money.

    Affiliate programs are a type of partnership between a seller and an advertiser. The advertiser is said to be an affiliate of the seller.

    The idea is, that the affililiate sends visitors to the seller's website. The affiliate may use advertising, or have a website or blog with links to the seller's site.

    The seller pays a percentage of the revenue generated for sales from visitors sent to the site by the affiliate. The percentage can be anywhere between a few percent up to as much as 75%.

    Some payment providers - like ClickBank - take care of paying commisions automatically to the affiliate when a payment is made by a customer. They track where visitors came from in order to pay the correct affiliate.

    A seller can have hundreds or even thousands of affiliates.

    The benefit for the seller is that he or she has affiliates to do the marketing of the product. The benefit for the affiliate is that he or she does not need an own product in order to generate revenue.

    For more information, have a look at this article: Affiliate Programs Explained

    Thanks anielsen, for the info - I am planning for a new website where I can generate 20K visitors/ day. Can you tell me which "affiliate-marketing" I should use to get the maximum revenue ? That "affiliate-marketing" must be better and more paying than Google AdSense (I don't have YPN and MSNAdCentre).

    Thanks in advance.

    Your question is impossible to answer without more details.

    If all your visitors are interested in web hosting then use some web hosting affiliate links.

    Just google for the word 'affiliate program' and you can find lot of information there. In short, affiliates are army of salesmen who will work for you, sell your products and services with the promise that you will pay them an agreed commission.

    Without knowing about visitors, it is impossible to tell which affilaite program will be better.

    Affiliate programs can be:

    1) pay per leads
    2) pay per sale
    3) pay per click: Adsense is an affiliate program; you are paid when someone click on your link.

    News reading people... Go through AzoogleAds offers and just try all kinds of stuff. affiliate or no affiliate

    You might rotate AdSense along with it to see if it performs better. I would try it, because the news reading folks may not be looking for products, at all. AdSense sign-up
