    An affiliate program can be run by a site, to help advertise their product or service, and they pay a publisher/site owner a percentage for doing the following:

    Me or you for example, running a site would place the advertiser ads on our site/s, someone click on a banner on our site for example and is then taken to the advertisers site, depending on the type of ad, say if they purchase a product from the advertiser, once it is verified, you as the publisher get a percentage of the sale.

    Thats just one example.

    Advertiser - offering to pay a percentage to you for running their ads.
    Publisher - Me, you, anyone, who runs their ads and sends them visiting and buying customers.

    There are affiliate networks, lots of advertisers and publisher brought together through the network.
