The term affiliation is used in the computer world and more specifically for the web-marketing. Affiliation is a partnership between two websites: a commercial site and a publisher site. The publisher agrees to display the products or services of the merchant site in exchange for remuneration. This remuneration may depend on the result (commission on sales) or on the number of visits generated through advertising.
Affiliation allows the merchant site to broaden its visibility on the net considerably. Hundreds of small sites can display ads and invest in getting products (or services) sold, especially if webmasters are paid on a commission basis.
