Affiliate marketing is a form of online marketing system where other website owners, bloggers or ezine marketers (your affiliates) promote your product online and direct visitors back to your website.  This visit is tracked and the affiliate earns a commission on any purchases through their referral. Effective affiliate marketing can help increase online sales with minimal risk.  It can also increase your page rankings.
