How to Put Affiliate URLs Into Your Own Domain
As an affiliate, a domain or website owner can get paid to sell vendor's wares. Merchants and service providers will often pay domain owners to place affiliate URLs on their sites. Whenever a customer makes a purchase by clicking the affiliate URL, the domain owner will receive a percentage of the profit. The exact profit percentage that is paid will greatly vary by merchant. However, the highest paying affiliate URLs tend to be those of digital and electronic merchants.
